freebox: no smb host resolution after upgrade

courville commented 3 years ago

Prior to circa May 2021 freebox was using solely smb v1 and shares were correctly recognized under \\FREEBOX\Disque Dur. After freebox update to support smb v2 (and corrective maintenance release) with smb v2 support, TcpDiscovery detects IPs but name resolution is broken i.e. only \\192.168.0.254\Disque Dur is visible and any attempt to access previously indexed content results in:

> Unknown host
> Failed to connect to server

It appears that UdpDiscovery does not pick up freebox and only TcpDiscovery does but with no name resolution. MDNS required for that and new discovery is required with Android NSD. First attempt contributed there https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-FileCoreLibrary/pull/7 Potentially the right course of actions is:

launch own discovery at app launch via CustomApplication depending on NetworkState
cache address independent of jcifs-ng
do the resolution inside jcifsUtils
remove FileCoreLibrary/src/jcifs/netbios/UdpDiscovery.java
WARNING: treat naming with different discovery source providing different names... hierarchy udp first ndns second tcp last (ip)

should be fixed by MDNS addition
