Force MDNS restart after connection (NONBlockling) #1622

Open Shumatic opened 1 year ago

Shumatic commented 1 year ago

Basic Infos

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release: Master 2.0.16-rc.2

Esp8266:

Hardware: ESP-12e

Core Version: 2.4.0, staging

Description

Is there a callback function to indicate that a connection is made? When using NONblocking and MDNS, it connects fine, but MDNS takes a long time to initialize, so i would like to force a MDNS restart.

Settings in IDE 1.8.13

Module: Generic

hmm on esp8266 you have to explicitly run mdns, maybe there is a problem there.

No, i am aware of this, and i have MDNS.begin ( "name" ) ) in setup. If ESP dosnt have a WiFi connection when booted, it still setup MDNS, and when i configure WiFi through the WiFimaneger it connects, but it isn't possile to reach from "name" only ip. It takes more then an hour before it works.

If you use WM non blocking it handles this for you.

Otherwise I think you are suppose to call this in loop 'MDNS.update();'

Maybe this is outdated, I will have to check the docs and code for esp mdns.

But give that a try in case its not working?

I will investigate this for a bug, sounds like it might be, or not starting mdns when no connection

Also confirm there is no delays in loop and you are calling wm.process() often enough

Thanks When i reboot after i have set WiFi, it works fine. I have tried to force both MDNS.update() and MDNS.begin(xxx) with a botton, but it dosnt work. Shouldnt the ESP restart automatically after WiFi have been set? i think that would solve it.

I havent tested properly... when i set WiFi throug WiFimanager, and it reboots, i cant connect to it with IP either, i need to restart. so it isnt a MDNS problem

Hi, Thanks for still helping me out..... Tested some more, and it is the same, when i put in credentials, it connect and get NTPsync, but i cant connect, even throug IP . Another thing, if I put in a wrong password, and connect fails, it reboot portal, and i can correct PW, but it still dosnt work, i have to go in portal and ERASE WiFIconfig, then i can set theright PW.
All libs and esp updated and IDE is 2.1.1
