It looks like something has changes in your network configuration. Likely a firewall or something that prevents the search for players to be launched

Thanks for your reply

i am on Daphile (21.12-b051729-x86_64-rt), LMS is 8.2.1

I tried to remove the plugin, erase the prefs file to restart from a new install, but now the castbridge.xml is missing and i can't generate one,

Creating a config file will not help. If none is generated then there is no player detected or the bridge is not starting. This is the latter in your case but as told, it means something is interfering with your networking configuration. Maybe you have daphile running in a VM ?

[th2j]

the bridge crash at startup, it is a regular Daphile install, and i didn't change anything in my network recently, it is the same with wifi or ethernet

[philippe44]

No it does not crash, look at the previous log lines : it exits because it cannot start the mdns (device) searcher. The monitoring thread see that it has exited and cannot differentiate from a crash, hence the log. Anyway, do you have multiple network interfaces? If you do, try to force the bridge to use what LMS uses

[th2j]

ok thanks for helping, i tried but this is not working for me

[th2j]

ok i succeeded to make it work :

i remove le line "disallow-other-stacks=yes" in the file /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

Thanks for your help
