Please provide an output of pio device list --mdns in Terminal

[realjax]

I already did, see above. Or is that not what you meant?

[ivankravets]

Without JSON option

[realjax]

ok, here you go:

Anyone? I tried what is mentioned here: http://docs.platformio.org/page/faq.html#multiple-pio-cores-in-a-system

But it made no difference. Still same problem

[ivankravets]

I see that you have multiple PIO Cores in a system. Please open SYSTEM terminal (not PIO IDE) and run sudo pip uninstall platformio

[realjax]

Already tried that. Doesn't make a difference.

[ivankravets]

Please unpack the attached archive, open PIO IDE Terminal, and type

python /path/to/test_mdns.py.zip

Please paste an output on https://hastebin.com

test_mdns.py.zip

[realjax]

Thanks, output is not much, but here it is: https://hastebin.com/zuravoseri.sql

This is the result from running within the PIO IDE Terminal. Using the 'normal' terminal the output is the same. Probably because of running this command (sudo pip uninstall platformio )earlier.

[ivankravets]

You NEED to use PIO IDE Terminal (terminal icon on toolbar), not system terminal.

[realjax]

I DID.

Ok.

Seems to be caused by an Airport time capsule in my network. It displays a weird netbios name \

AirPort._smb._tcp.local.

Type: _smb._tcp.local. IP: 169.254.11.211 Port: 445 Properties: netbios=��r

And multicast DNS chokes on that netbios name. ( see end of my first post:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa4 in position 0: invalid start byte )

When I switch off the airport, then multicast DNS works fine. I cannot alter the netbios name of the Airport ( of course not, its Apple) so I'm kinda stuck here.

[ivankravets]

Thanks! I've just made some improvement. Could you open PIO IDE Terminal and type pio upgrade --dev. Restart IDE. Does it work now?

[realjax]

Thanks, I tried and It said: PlatformIO has been successfully upgraded to 3.5.3a7

But the problem remains after the restart :(

[ivankravets]

Could you provide TeamViewer access to debug this issue? Please send me ID/Pass to me@ikravets.com

[ivankravets]

Could you try again pio upgrade --dev and restart IDE? I did some changes to the code.

[realjax]

Succes!! This worked ! Thanks a bunch Ivan :)

[ivankravets]

Thank you so much for the report! ;)
