UxPlay is a GPLv3 unix AirPlay server: its main use is to act like an AppleTV for screen-mirroring (with audio) of iOS/MacOS clients (iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, etc.) in a window on the server display (with the possibility of sharing that window on screen-sharing applications such as Zoom) on a host running Linux, macOS, or other unix, using Apple's AirPlay Mirror protocol. Older iOS clients v. 9.3.5 and later are supported. When the client screen is not mirrored, Apple Lossless (ALAC) audio can be sent from the client to the server using Airplay protocol. Although UxPlay was originally targeted at x86/x86_64 Server and Desktop systems, it now also supports both 32- and 64-bit Raspberry Pi Arm platforms with hardware-accelerated video decoding (using Video4Linux2, the replacement for deprecated 32-bit-only OpenMAX on the Pi).

This work is based on https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay, with GStreamer integration from https://github.com/antimof/UxPlay. Tested on Debian 10.11 "Buster" and 11.2 "Bullseye", Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.10, Linux Mint 20.3, Pop!_OS 21.10 (NVIDIA edition), Raspberry Pi OS (bullseye), Rocky Linux 8.5 (a CentOS successor), OpenSUSE 15.3, Manjaro 20.2, macOS 12.3 (Intel and M1), FreeBSD 13.0.

1.52 2022-05-05 Cleaned up initial audio sync code, and reformatted streaming debug output (readable aligned timestamps with decimal points in seconds). Eliminate memory leaks (found by valgrind).

1.52a small change to gstreamer plugin check, and also to CMakeLists.txt (needed for GStreamer-1.20.x installation on macOS).
1.52b ALAC audio metadata (Artist, Titles etc. in audio-only mode) is now shown on uxplay terminal.
1.52c updated README.
