Information to perhaps a dumb question please.
Does the program ALSO need to be installed on the device you want to mirror? I'm not real familiar With Apple but it time I learned.
Thanks
Michael

I like

There is a Mac version. However, it is not covered by the giveaway.

This keeps happening to me with GOTD downloads. I download the app and run setup and I keep getting messages that the file is corrupt and to download it again and I do and keep getting message file is corrupt.

What's up with this??????

I downloaded and installed this the last time it was offered here. It actually works quite well. It was able to mirror both my Iphone and Ipad without a hitch. If you are like me and don't have (and don't want to buy) an Apple TV device, then this is a good way to mirror your Iphone/Ipad. You may need to enable a firewall or AV exception, but aside from that, this works as described.

I had actually purchased version 1.x, whatever it was and couldn't ever get it to work. So I downloaded 2.02. You MUST remove any previous versions. Even after that, go to your task manager (windows) and insure any old versions are not running. COMPLETELY remove any old versions on you computer and install 2.02. It runs silently and seamlessly. Then... activate Airplay on your IOS device (Iphone/Ipad). Great giveaway today. Thanks.

Unfortunately this program will NOT install on my Windows 10 laptop. I've been using GAOTD for years & I know how to read the installation txt but I almost even let it install "software informer" and still nothing. I do get a box returned that says everything was installed but when I look...nothing. I wasted a bit of time on this... stupid

Installed ok win 10 64bit, kept loosing connection with my Iphone5 (up to date) when playing/ selecting different music videos. These were genuine itunes music videos downloaded via '12Days' app ( Back in the good old days when Itunes believed in Santa, 12 days of assorted freebies). I then tried to mirror the Iphone playing clash of clans, there was a delay at times between the iphone's actions and the mirrored image, probably due to complex graphics. I'm not saying it won't work well for all users, it just isn't very good for me and my setup/ needs. If the idea of streaming videos etc appeals to you, but can't get this giveaway to work, there is a company who has a collection of free products for win/mac/ios/android, I am not happy to name them here as I don't believe it is right to do so on this page. Thank you anyway, but this time not a keeper, keep up the good work GAOTD team.

Giving a thumbs down due to the fact it does not work with Android. Big downfall in my opinion.

Apple uses Airplay, Windows uses Miracast, Wireless Display, Remote Desktop, & Continuum, while Android can use a proprietary service, depending on brand, &/or use Miracast, while there are also apps for Airplay. Sony's gotten into the act with a recent update to their PS4, & you can do similar with the Xbox One.

So if you've got an Apple handheld [iPhone, iPad...] & want to use Airplay, with a Windows device as the receiver instead of another Apple product, give X-Mirage a try, installing it on that Windows device [e.g. PC, laptop...]. If you have a Android device you'll have to see what the hardware supports. If you have a Windows device I'd suggest joining the Insider program for 10, as this stuff is under active development, with some features just released & more coming.

Note that you may want or need Wi-Fi on your PC for some of this stuff -- the X-Mirage FAQ wasn't completely clear *to me* on this point. x-mirage[.]com/x-mirage/faq.html . You can get USB dongles for Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet for ~$10 [you'll get more bandwidth out of your handheld if/when you can use a wired connection], while the very often recommended Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter will set you back ~$50.

Also note that you may find yourself limited by the horsepower of the processor in your handheld device, though I'd expect this to be more an issue with older &/or cheaper Android hardware, e.g. I have a [now older] Galaxy Tab 2 7, & it will not handle full HD video or display, period, so anything I send to a larger screen or PC etc. is going to be lower rez, whether that's a game or video.

In this Win XP SP3 there was no restart during the installation.
In this WinXP there was a check for Visual C++ SP1:

And also Bonjour asked to connect to the network:

A hint for connecting to a mobile:

And after closing the program, it sits in the systemtray:

And yes, after closing that, Bonjour still remains in memory 1,2Mb:

And getting the code is strange.
Take the link in Readme and adapt it with your own data:

I can not test it; I do not have any mobile device of Apple

Be aware, this installer restarted my pc without asking first, so you will loose anything you haven't saved. Also, it install's the Bonjour service (part n parcel really with software for Apple products) to run constantly so you may wish to tweak your services settings afterwards to stop it doing so unless you are going to use it constantly.
Otherwise, nice little bit of kit, Thanks.
