Can't connect to the receiver by personal hotspot (on phone aka tethering) about airplay2-receiver HOT 4 CLOSED

Addendum: I'm not certain what iOS does not like about PTP, but it's iOS that causes the problem here.

Evidently, (some versions of) iOS cannot handle PTP and tethered clients (very well).

The errors seem to centre around PTP - try to disable PTP using correct flags. But PTP was on in both cases, so it's difficult to say either way 🤷

OK - this looks directly related to PTP.
If I run
python3 ap2-receiver.py -n en0 --debug

the AP shows up but I cannot connect from the tethered iPhone.

If I run
python3 ap2-receiver.py -n en0 --debug -ftxor 41

on a tethered iPhone, the AP shows up and I can connect and stream. Audio does not work, because we're in buffered audio, NTP mode, which implies FP2 encryption (I think)..? I see no shk exchanged...

BUT, if you run

python3 ap2-receiver.py -n en0 --debug -ftxor 41 40

then you get 'unbuffered' audio and ANNOUNCE, which works - I committed it a while ago.

I've tried and it works, thanks. Using NTP with 'unbuffered' audio and ANNOUNCE rather than PTP is fine, but these are features from AirPlay 1. Hopefully the problem will be fixed in a future version.
