       -nh	 Do NOT	append "@hostname" at end of AirPlay server name

       -h265	 Support h265 (4K) video (with h265 versions of	h264 plugins)

       -hls	 Support HTTP Live Streaming (currently	YouTube	video only)

       -pin[xxxx]Use a 4-digit pin code	to control client access (default: no)

		 without option, pin is	random:	optionally use fixed pin xxxx.

       -reg [fn] Keep a	register in $HOME/.uxplay.register to verify returning

		 client	pin-registration; (option: use file "fn" for this)

       -vsync[x] Mirror	mode: sync audio to video using	timestamps (default)

		 x is optional audio delay: millisecs, decimal,	can be neg.

       -vsync no Switch	off audio/(server)video	timestamp synchronization.

		 "-p tcp n" or "-p udp n" sets TCP or UDP ports	separately.

       -avdec	 Force software	h264 video decoding with libav decoder.

       -vp prs	 Choose	GStreamer h264 parser; default "h264parse"

       -vd dec	 Choose	GStreamer h264 decoder;	default	"decodebin"

		 choices: (software) avdec_h264; (hardware) v4l2h264dec,

		 nvdec,	nvh264dec, vaapih264dec, vtdec,	...

       -vc cnv	 Choose	GStreamer videoconverter; default "videoconvert"

		 another choice	when using v4l2h264dec:	v4l2convert.

       -as sink	 Choose	the GStreamer audiosink; default "autoaudiosink"

		 choices:pulsesink,alsasink,pipewiresink,osssink,oss4sink,

		 jackaudiosink,osxaudiosink,wasapisink,directsoundsink,..

       -as 0	 (or -a) Turn audio off, streamed video	only.
