Mac mini 2018. macOS Monterey 12.5 I have previously used this desktop as an AirPlay receiver. In the sharing pane of the system preferences there was a tick box for turingin airplay receiver on/off. That tick box is no longer present, and I don't know why. I have reset the NVRAM, and booted in safe mode, with no change. In System>Library>PreferencesPanes>SharingPref.PrefPane>Contents>Resources there is a xml file named "service list." It reads:
class

        nibname

        searchKeyword
        Services_AirPlayReceiver
    **
(Bold added) Can I just change "false" to "true" and save the file? Any other ideas? I have no idea what I'm doing.
