uxplay - start AirPlay server

SYNOPSIS

uxplay [-n name] [-s wxh] [-p [n]] [more OPTIONS ...]

DESCRIPTION

UxPlay 1.69: An open-source AirPlay mirroring (+ audio streaming)
server:

OPTIONS

-n name Specify the network name of the AirPlay server

-nh Do NOT append "@hostname" at end of AirPlay server name

-pin[xxxx]Use a 4-digit pin code to control client access (default:
no)

without option, pin is random: optionally use fixed pin
xxxx.

-reg [fn] Keep a register in $HOME/.uxplay.register to verify
returning

client pin-registration; (option: use file "fn" for this)

-vsync[x] Mirror mode: sync audio to video using timestamps (default)

x is optional audio delay: millisecs, decimal, can be neg.

-vsync no Switch off audio/(server)video timestamp synchronization.

-async[x] Audio-Only mode: sync audio to client video (default: no).

-async no Switch off audio/(client)video timestamp synchronization.

-db l[:h] Set minumum volume attenuation to l dB (decibels,
negative);

optional: set maximum to h dB (+ or -); default -30.0:0.0

-taper Use a "tapered" AirPlay volume-control profile.

-s wxh[@r]Set display resolution [refresh_rate] default
1920x1080[@60]

-o Set display "overscanned" mode on (not usually needed)

-fs Full-screen (only works with X11, Wayland, VAAPI, D3D11)

-p Use legacy ports UDP 6000:6001:7011 TCP 7000:7001:7100

-p n Use TCP and UDP ports n,n+1,n+2. range 1024-65535

use "-p n1,n2,n3" to set each port, "n1,n2" for n3 = n2+1

"-p tcp n" or "-p udp n" sets TCP or UDP ports separately.

-avdec Force software h264 video decoding with libav decoder.

-vp prs Choose GStreamer h264 parser; default "h264parse"

-vd dec Choose GStreamer h264 decoder; default "decodebin"

choices: (software) avdec_h264; (hardware) v4l2h264dec,

nvdec, nvh264dec, vaapih264dec, vtdec, ...

-vc cnv Choose GStreamer videoconverter; default "videoconvert"

another choice when using v4l2h264dec: v4l2convert.

-vs sink Choose the GStreamer videosink; default "autovideosink"

choices: ximagesink,xvimagesink,vaapisink,glimagesink,

gtksink,waylandsink,osxvideosink,kmssink,d3d11videosink,...

-vs 0 Streamed audio only, with no video display window.

-v4l2 Use Video4Linux2 for GPU hardware h264 video decoding.

-bt709 Sometimes needed for Raspberry Pi with GStreamer < 1.22

-as sink Choose the GStreamer audiosink; default "autoaudiosink"

choices:pulsesink,alsasink,pipewiresink,osssink,oss4sink,

jackaudiosink,osxaudiosink,wasapisink,directsoundsink,..

-as 0 (or -a) Turn audio off, streamed video only.

-al x Audio latency in seconds (default 0.25) reported to client.

-ca fn In Airplay Audio (ALAC) mode, write cover-art to file fn.

-reset n Reset after 3n seconds client silence (default 5, 0=never).

-nofreeze Do NOT leave frozen screen in place after reset.

-nc Do NOT close video window when client stops mirroring

-nohold Drop current connection when new client connects.

-restrict Restrict clients to those specified by "-allow deviceID".

Uxplay displays deviceID when a client attempts to connect.

Use "-restrict no" for no client restrictions (default).

-allow id Permit deviceID = id to connect if restrictions are
imposed.

-block id Always block connections from deviceID = id.

-FPSdata Show video-streaming performance reports sent by client.

-fps n Set maximum allowed streaming framerate, default 30

-f {H|V|I}Horizontal|Vertical flip, or both=Inversion=rotate 180 deg

-r {R|L} Rotate 90 degrees Right (cw) or Left (ccw)

-m [mac] Set MAC address (also Device ID); use for concurrent
UxPlays

if mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is not given, a random MAC is
used.

-key [fn] Store private key in $HOME/.uxplay.pem (or in file "fn")

-dacp [fn]Export client DACP information to file $HOME/.uxplay.dacp

(option to use file "fn" instead); used for client remote.

-vdmp [n] Dump h264 video output to "fn.h264"; fn="videodump", change

with "-vdmp [n] filename". If [n] is given, file fn.x.h264

x=1,2,.. opens whenever a new SPS/PPS NAL arrives, and <=n

NAL units are dumped.

-admp [n] Dump audio output to "fn.x.fmt", fmt ={aac, alac, aud}, x

=1,2,..; fn="audiodump"; change with "-admp [n] filename".

x increases when audio format changes. If n is given, <= n

audio packets are dumped. "aud"= unknown format.

-d Enable debug logging

-v Displays version information

-h Displays help information
