If the server was a Linux PC, I would say for sure that you are blocked by a firewall on the server. If the pi has a firewall, switch it off to see if that helps. Possible firewalls that might be running on the pi are ufw and firewalld The avahi "WARNING" is completely harmless.

PR #266 provides support for using RPiPlay with a firewall

I can confirm the same thing on RPi 2 rev B using the latest version from Oct. 18 2021. Compiled with the defaults. Tested with various versions of iPads and iPhones. No firewall whatsoever on the RPi (running Ubuntu 20).
