Discovery doesn't work on a Chromebook #3

Closed TomFaulkner closed 7 years ago

It seems this is due to Chromebook's firewalling off incoming UDP, including under Crouton. A Chromebook would probably need a proxy for discovery, or to hardcode device IPs.

I suppose a config file of discovered devices would also work.

Unfortunately, my Chromebook died, so I will close this. If someone comes across this and is trying to use this library on a Chromebook running crouton by some chance, I think the Chromebooks block incoming broadcasts. But, I have not done any further tests.
