No Android devices visible in desktop 0.3.3 (Ubuntu) #27

Closed techtonik closed 6 years ago

There are no devices visible on Ubuntu when sending files to Android. (

NitroShare 0.3.3 doesn't use mDNS and therefore transfers are not possible between it and an Android client.

techtonik commented 7 years ago

Maybe it should be versioned as 1.0.0 then?

It would be nice to see https://github.com/nitroshare/nitroshare-desktop/wiki/Transfer-Protocol fixed somewhere (maybe it a blog post) with a comparison to new scheme.

And it looks like Wiki in this project is empty.

The transfer protocol hasn't changed. Only the discovery protocol. I won't document the internals of mDNS but I do see the value in describing how the process works (the service type, etc.).

My original goal was to keep the version numbers inline with the desktop client to avoid confusion. However, I soon realized that version 0.4.0 for the desktop was still a long ways from completion and I wanted to get the Android app up and running. Therefore, I am going to be releasing 0.3.4 first alongside the Android app and then I can focus on getting 0.4.0 ready to go. (I have some really exciting features planned (and partially completed) for it.)

I guess this is fixed by some of the last 4 days commits - https://github.com/nitroshare/qmdnsengine/commits/c1972231604bc5daa5066342b0356dfc5ed2f32b

Oh. No this is for other way around.

nathan-osman commented 7 years ago

I finally fixed another bug in QMdnsEngine and I think it may be the cause of this issue. Could you please confirm?
