Everything looks normal up to the following: [09/Jul/2023 23:27:52] code 501, message Unsupported method ('SETMAGICCOOKIE') You can implement this endpoint yourself and try to figure out what it does. I don't know what behavior is expected here. The sdk version that we advertise should not include this magic cookie thing, I think. So this could just be an ios17 test thing, a bug, or some new behavior in airplay. Have a play and see whether you can get this method working.

@xatitive Perhaps you can try the above also.

Tried the above fix and doesn't work exactly as intended, when ran it outputs the magic cookies hex binary string

You'll need to be more specific than "doesn't work exactly as intended". The example code I provided does no more than that. We don't know what this endpoint is supposed to do. The fact that the apple endpoint imposes behavior requirements (cookie) on an older sdk version is concerning. This reads "breaking backwards compatibility".

[xatitive]

True I just didn’t know what more to say

[systemcrash]

Try hacking some more. What happens before and after the cookie bit? On your client (also)?

[xatitive]

Nothing new happens before the cookie bit, after receiving the bit we also get the ID of it too but has nowhere to go rn ofc
but now I can "play" music as now it'll say it's playing to the receiver while not receiving anything to play.

After the bit CoUninitialize gets called and nothing more happens when trying to interact with it

[systemcrash]

You could maybe try the streams mode. I added support, but never really figured out what it was supposed to do or how it was supposed to work differently. I see different behaviour in the logs, however.

See commit 723bace

[xatitive]

running python ap2-receiver.py -m myap2 -n "{250B8E87-4420-470E-8B1B-75DD2836809B}" --debug -ftxor 59 did the same thing, (i think thats what u wanted me to run) doesnt do anything new compared to what happened last time. although now im seeing that once connecting to the reciever you have to restart since it just hangs after recieving the cookie

[systemcrash]

Hmm - just taking stabs in the dark here. You're welcome to try hacking yourself. That's what this project is for.

[systemcrash]

How is this in the latest beta?

[ItsEcholot]

I just tried this project today with YouTube and I too got the SETMAGICCOOKIE error now on iOS 17 public release.

[systemcrash]

Try the latest master 6c343d3. Works for me on iOS 17.0.2.
