According to this page:
https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock
AirPlay to Mac does not have such limitation and can work on H.264 dGPUs.

Your system does not have such a dGPU. You need a AMD Polaris dGPU to get it working.

ok - thank you! I was not aware of this requirement. BTW: Do you know issues with same feature and IMAC 14.3? "Airplay Receiver" does not show in "sharing settings".

@Ausdauersportler, would this be valid for my model as well? I have a iMac11,3 with an ATI Radeon 5750 1024mb, intel core i7 870 and a 2TB HDD. But it is not AMD Polaris, so I guess not, right? Thanks for any confirmation.

If AirPlay to Mac is broken on this machine, I believe this issue would be far deeper and the Kepler GPU would be at fault. Assuming Apple broke Kepler encode/decode even more, little we can do at this moment besides test macOS 12.0.1.

As I have no Kepler hardware locally (my Mac Pro's dead), there's little we can do at this time. However feel free to research further and provide patch sets, we greatly appreciate any extra help we can get.

And as Ausdauersportler suggested, you'd be best to invest in either a newer AMD Polaris GPU or newer Mac if this functionality is required from the machine
