Where can I find Mirroring360 debug log?
Often it is much more effective and helpful to attach the debug logs and crash logs (if applicable) from your computer when filing a support request to us. Right now, only the Windows version has the debug logs (MIRRORING360_SLOG.txt and MIRRORING360_SLOG.txt.bak) and it can be located under:
%USERS%\<your_windows_user_account>\AppData\Roaming\Mirroring360
Why do I keep getting an AirPlay Password prompt whenever I start mirroring?
If you have not set a password in Mirroring360 (under Settings > Advanced > Password), then it’s possible that the WiFi/wired network you are currently in have iOS management solution in place.
One example would be the Cisco’s Meraki router appliance and the ‘require password for AirPlay’ is set. To unset this option, on the iOS that is trying to use Mirroring360:
- In the MDM Commands section, click on AirPlay and make sure a password isn’t set
- Then click on System Manager > MDM Settings and click on Restrictions
- Uncheck the box(s) that says require passcode for AirPlay (there should be two, one for incoming and one for outgoing)
- And update the organization profile
Other router appliance may have similar settings/configurations that needs to be figured out.
When attempting to mirror, I see the device frame but the window is just white or black. What can I do?
One of the following will usually resolve this issue:
- Restart the Mirroring360 app on your computer
- Reboot your computer
- Restart your device
- Make sure you have the latest version of the receiver app by going to About |Check for Updates
- Uninstall and reinstall the app
- Update the video card driver on your computer
- Run dxdiag.exe, go to “Display” tab and check DirectX features are all “enabled”
If it still doesn’t work, please submit a support request at the bottom of this page.
