Bridge Auto Discovery doesn't work #4

Closed hstamas closed 8 years ago

hstamas commented 8 years ago

When trying to detect the bridge nothing is found. Any chance of a fix or a manual method of inputing the bridge IP and username?

mvdwetering commented 8 years ago

It has been a while, but if I recall correctly in Kodi you cannot immediately use the IP and username. You must save the changes first before being able to access those settings. This means that things like saving presets won't work until you closed and reopened the settings window.

This was the main reason I made the Autosearch and the fact that it just works. Also the autosearch will pickup the bridge automatically up IP address changes if they happen.

So I would prefer to see if we can diagnose the issue and have a proper fix. I will try to make an update this weekend that can generate debug information to help diagnose the issue. Until then, could you provoide me with some additional information:

That would be great if you could figure out the issue as your plugin has some nice features I would love to be able to use.

Answers to your questions: Using Jarvis Beta v16 running on Windows 10 PC. I have also tried this on a Mac running Yosemite 10.10 with the same results. Clicking on the bridge URL you posted does give me a positive return with the correct IP for my bridge.

I have updated the addon with an additional method for finding bridges which should solve your issue (both methods are automatically used). Please try the new version. If you still have issues please enable Debuglogging in Kodi and search for bridges. Then send me the log file and I will see what is going wrong.

Works perfectly. Thank you!
