Could you access the same content on your laptop directly or via something like DropBox?įor screen recording I like Ashampoo's Snap, but there are loads of choices out there. I *think* that as a practical matter, streaming or casting video from your hand-held to a connected TV, isn't as popular as just streaming on-line video directly - with a connected PC/laptop even more so. #16: " HOWEVER, when I try to record the streaming video to my laptop, the program crashes after a few minutes." iPhone, AirPlay might or might not be the best solution. If you don't have an AirPlay device already, e.g. And since Apple for the most part doesn't sell Windows software, X-Mirage stepped in, with software that sets up a AirPlay server in Windows. But should I need it again, I will definitely consider buying it! The least I could do, was to give you a positive review.From the Suggestion Box: "Create an Android version"ĪirPlay isn't the only way to connect devices over WiFi - it's just what Apple products come with. I don't know whether I will buy X-Mirage, as it is a one time occasion (rehearsal of a keynote presentation on two screens). Tried different version combinations, but all failed. Upon connecting from macOS 10.12 with the current Airparrot 2.7 the legacy Reflector 1.6.3 on OS X 10.6 crashed. Airparrot needed to install an audio and a video driver, needed to restart the Mac. It all failed.ĪIRSQUIRRELS: Tried their combo of Reflector (server receiving stream) and Airparrot (client sending stream). But obtaining a trial version was not possible, as the changed the process meanwhile. Before that I spent 4 hours trying out competitor software, which did not work at all connecting the old and the new Mac.ĪIRSERVER: It offered downloading a legacy version. ![]() So different to the competition if you want to connect an old and a new Mac. With X-MIRAGE I had a working setup in just 1min, and understood it completely after 5min. But it seemed very ok! Lag almost unnoticable, quality very ok. Quality & Speed: Did not evaluate that extensively. X-Mirage was properly listed as a stream target. If you want you can tweak settings according to your needs (screen size, password, etc).Ĭlient side (sending the stream): Works out of the box with the built-in system features (in the system controls Airplay and Audio you select your destination, where you want to stream to. You are done! No extra drivers, no restart, no config necessary. Firewall asks you: Allow incoming connections for X-Mirage? Confirm with Yes. Server side (receiving side of the stream): Start the app. ![]() Therefore I can use my old Mac running OS X 10.6.8 Sierra as a secondary display for my current rMBP running macOS 10.12.3 Sierra. ![]() If you have no more use for your old device, at least it can act as a secondary display! ![]() The current version 2.04.3 as of 2017-03 supports the newest macOS 10.12.3 Sierra, until back to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. PERFECT SOLUTION FOR USING AN OLD MAC AS AN AIRPLAY SERVER FOR RECEIVING THE A/V STREAM
