Doesn't work if multiple servers have the same App and Server Name

There needs to be a way to access servers by UUID as an app like AirServer has the same names for multiple windows. image

My understanding is that there is no way to avoid this issue with the Syphon API.

Please reopen it if you find a way to avoid the problem.

There is a SyphonServerDescriptionUUIDKey key available on any discovered servers which can be used in place of SyphonServerDescriptionNameKey.

But really you're just using the discovered server info to make a connection, so there's no reason you couldn't connect to the right one with the normal API.

Thanks for the information. Hmm, it needs some design changes to support it, but at least I found a way to implement it. I appreciate it.
