NAME¶
uxplay - start AirPlay server
SYNOPSIS¶
uxplay [-n name] [-s wxh] [-p [n]] [more OPTIONS ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
UxPlay 1.68: 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.
-
client pin-registration; (option: use file "fn" for this)
-
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 and VAAPI)
- -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, ...
-
another choice when using v4l2h264dec: v4l2convert.
-
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).
- -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.
-
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.
-
=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.
FILES¶
Options in one of $UXPLAYRC, or ~/.uxplayrc, or ~/.config/uxplayrc
