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:

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