connect to this server with iPadOS or iOS remote (found in Control Center). You will be able to use the arrows and buttons.

DAAP_SERVER_ID, DAAP_DATABASE_ID, and SUB_TEXT: I reccomend randomly generating these unique to your instance when you first setup. I don't know if you should change them on each startup.

SERVER_NAME: the name of the remote that will be displayed on your idevice. I haven't tested non-ascii characters. spaces seem to work.

SERVER_PORT: the port that the server will run on. ARROWS_PORT: the port that the server will recieve arrow commands on

ADDRESS: the ip address of the machine DAAPRemoteServer is running on. (eg. ifconfig). Only tested with ipv4, but will likely work for ipv6.

for pairing only, the server needs to make an HTTP request to a random port on the iDevice. you will need to allow this in your firewall in case that outgoing connections are blocked. After initial pairing, you will not need outgoing connections...

... unless you also want to control the client connected to the uxplay server, for which outgoing connections will also be needed to a random port. (Ports tend to be 35ish thousand and up?)

you will also obviously need to allow mdns (port 5353) (see notes on uxplay github for mdns debugging issues)

you will need to pair the remote to the server using the normal procedure. However, beyond this the server doesn't check if the idevice has a valid pairing key. this feature will come later, so be careful how you expose the service for now.

In a recent update, UxPlay can output credentials needed to remotely play/pause/control the mirroring iDevice. you can configure DAAPRemoteServer to read these values and forward them onto the client.

The end result of this is that Device "A" can stream to a UxPlay server normally. Device "B" can then use the built-in ios remote control to connect to a DAAPRemoteServer. Device "B" can then issue up to 8 of the following commands to Device "A" (configure in ARROWS_TO_DACP_COMMAND and CMBE_COMMAND_TO_DACP_COMMAND:

• beginff begin fast forward
• beginrew begin rewind
• mutetoggle toggle mute status
• nextitem play next item in playlist
• previtem play previous item in playlist
• pause pause playback
• playpause toggle between play and pause
• play start playback
• stop stop playback
• playresume play after fast forward or rewind
• shuffle_songs shuffle playlist
• volumedown turn audio volume down
• volumeup turn audio volume up
