Some extra GStreamer packages for special plugins may need to be installed (or reinstalled: a user using a Wayland display system as an alternative to X11 reported that after reinstalling Lubuntu 18.4, UxPlay would not work until gstreamer1.0-x was installed, presumably for Wayland’s X11-compatibility mode). Different distributions may break up GStreamer 1.x into packages in different ways; the packages listed above in the build instructions should bring in other required GStreamer packages as dependencies, but will not install all possible plugins.
This triggers an unending stream of error messages, and means that the audio decryption key (also used in video decryption) was not correctly extracted from data sent by the client. This should not happen for iOS 9.3 or later clients. However, if a client uses the same older version of the protocol that is used by the Windows-based AirPlay client emulator AirMyPC, the protocol can be switched to the older version by the setting OLD_PROTOCOL_CLIENT_USER_AGENT_LIST in lib/global.h. UxPlay reports the client’s “User Agent” string when it connects. If some other client also fails to decrypt all audio and video, try adding its “User Agent” string in place of “xxx” in the entry “AirMyPC/2.0;xxx” in global.h and rebuild uxplay.
Note that Uxplay declares itself to be an AppleTV2,1 with a sourceVersion 220.68; this can also be changed in global.h. It is crucial for UxPlay to declare this old value of sourceVersion, as this prompts the Apple client to use a less-encrypted “legacy” protocol needed by third-generation Apple TV’s, which are 32-bit devices that cannot run modern tvOS; it is probably not necessary for UxPlay to claim to be such an old AppleTV model.

1.45 2022-01-10 New behavior: close video window when client requests “stop mirroring”. (A new “no close” option “-nc” is added for users who wish to retain previous behavior that does not close the video window).
1.44 2021-12-13 Omit hash of aeskey with ecdh_secret for an AirMyPC client; make an internal rearrangement of where this hash is done. Fully report all initial communications between client and server in -d debug mode. Replace decodebin in GStreamer video pipeline by h264-specific elements.
