Airplay from iOS to OS X

[mac_shinobi]

Im aware of

 

1) Airserver

2) X-mirage

3) Reflector

 

As per this article

 

X-Mirage: The Simplest Way to Record Your iOS Apps in Action | Mac.AppStorm

 

Which one is the better one , am thinking its between x-mirage and airserver. I have tried airserver but when I paused videos that were streaming so youtube after a while it was a pain to resume vs x-mirage which so far seems to be okay

@Arthur or anyone else?

What sort of things are you trying to AirPlay across to your Mac from your iPhone? Is it just YouTube videos?

 

Perhaps another option would be to use an app like Unified Remote which enables you to control your Mac from an iPhone/iPad? Then you can avoid AirPlay altogether.

I have only tried AirServer myself.

I purchased X Mirage the other day, doh

 

Think it cost £12, have downloaded all the installers and license keys from the above site and will do the same on my mac ( currently only done it on a win 7 machine ) so not sure if that will effect the downloads etc seeing as they are in a dmg format etc

 

Ruddy typical that I pay for the software and then there is an offer to get it for free, sigh
