unable to create recv socket #397

Closed mglst closed 2 years ago

mglst commented 2 years ago

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS I downloaded the prebuilt binary, marked it as executable. When I execute it, I get the following

$ ./aircast-x86-64

Likely you have an mDNS responder that does not accept to share the port with others. Old Avahi did that - see README

Yep, indeed. I set disallow-other-stacks=no in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf as Misc tips, it starts up fine. This is my first time using AirConnect! I'm running this on a server in a remote location at the moment, so I can't test that everything works unfortunately. Thanks for you quick reply!
