Windows 11 blocking bonjour #3

Open zhouzscander opened 1 month ago

Windows 11 blocks Bonjour's 2.0.2.0 mdnsNSP.dll 2.0.2.0 is the only available standalone bonjour download, from 2010 image

This can be fixed by installing a newer bonjour, 3.1.0.1 is bundled with itunes (itunes installer is a zip file, bonjour msi installer can be pulled out without installing full itunes)

Windows includes a native mdns implementation, could be a viable alternative to the bonjour dependency?

On the long run it's probably worthwhile to step away from Bonjour and use a different approach. The Bonjour DLL included with the "Print Services" setup is indeed a bit outdated, but I've tested it with my "Windows 11" and it seems to do it's job.

Do you use special settings with your Windows 11 in order to have this issue "DLL is blocked"? I would like to understand what's exactly the case on your machine.

Hi, I just started using ShairportQt and it's working perfectly for me from first try (Edit: Windows 11 latest 24H2 update). Thank you for the build! Conincidentally I was looking for a way to play Apple Music on PC, and the little app solves exactly this problem. I'm grateful! Thank you again!
