## What it is
UxPlay is an open-source AirPlay Mirror and AirPlay Audio server for Linux, macOS, Unix, and Windows, written in C. It lets Apple devices stream their screen or audio to a computer, with options for recording to mp4 and forwarding streams to external renderers.

## Use cases
- mirror iphone screen to linux desktop
- play apple device audio on pc speakers
- record airplay mirroring session to mp4
- forward airplay video stream to OBS
- use airplay on a network without bonjour
- turn a raspberry pi into an airplay receiver

## When to choose
- you want to receive AirPlay screen mirroring or audio on non-Apple hardware
- you need to record or re-route AirPlay video/audio streams
- your network blocks mDNS and you can use the Bluetooth LE beacon discovery

## When to avoid
- you need a full AirPlay ecosystem with photos, iTunes video, or AirPlay 2 multi-room
- you want a polished GUI rather than a command-line server
- you need HLS video features not yet supported in mirror/audio modes
