Chromecast IP is not detected correctly #210

Closed F43nd1r closed 2 years ago

F43nd1r commented 2 years ago

OS version: Arch Linux Browser version: Firefox 99.0.1 Extension version: 0.2.0 Bridge version: 0.2.0

Description fx_cast seems to fail to detect the IP address of my chromecast correctly, it just shows up as 0.0.0.0:8009, and casting fails (neither chromecast nor browser do anything on button click). Screenshot_20220419_223410

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install new version 0.2.0 for bridge and extension
  2. Observe behaviour

Expected behaviour Connection to chromecast works from arch linux.

Avahi seems to see the correct IP:

$ avahi-browse --all --ignore-local --resolve --terminate

= enp8s0 IPv4 Chromecast-***   _googlecast._tcp     local

Well, that's an interesting one. I'll make a build with some additional logging later.

hensm commented 2 years ago

I don't know your packaging situation on Arch, so here's an unpackaged build: fx_cast_bridge.zip

Should be a drop-in replacement. Relevant logs in the browser console.

Also, a test script that might be more useful, but probably needs GCC and dev packages for avahi (though I think Arch bundles that stuff with the runtime package, maybe?): mdns_test.zip

Looks like it's a bug in the dns_sd bindings, or Avahi's compat layer. Here's a new test script with some more logging in the resolver sequence: mdns_test.zip Edit: Actually, that definitely won't work

After a little more research, it's not a bug in the compat layer, since the address isn't resolved via the dns_sd method. Could be a bug in node's getaddrinfo binding or some problem with your config causing address lookup issues? Though Avahi seems to be able to manage it.

New version: mdns_test.zip

Oh yeah, just remembered, people had issues with Arch before because avahi wasn't resolving through nss. Try installing this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nss-mdns/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/avahi#Hostname_resolution

this worked, thanks! Is this documented somewhere? If not, might help others to put it in there. Nvm, found it. Sorry for not reading closely.

hensm commented 2 years ago

No worries, I'd completely forgotten about it myself. I'll see if I can make it more obvious, anyway.
