Automatically enable broadcast discovery if RECORD engine only found that way #42

Closed djp952 closed 5 years ago

djp952 commented 6 years ago

Given the prevalence of people that have the problem with HTTP discovery not finding their RECORD engine, I think it would be nicer to add some logic to fall back to broadcast automatically.

Here's my current plan:

I think this is a pretty good way to handle it, it should help the people that first install this thing and have to research out or ask why it's not working, while at the same time not interfering with the people that legitimately don't have a RECORD engine running -- they should see no difference at all.

There was a fair amount of debate over this proposal on the SD forums, enough that I think it's best left alone. The vast majority of users appear to have no problem with using the HTTP API and SiliconDust indicated that there was a now fixed problem with this on Windows platforms. Closing issue but am open to reconsideration.
