avahi-discover does not discover macast

[timrichardson]

vlc can output to discovered renderers. It finds every google device in my house (chromecasts and google home) but it does not find macast running on linux.

macast is working well with bubble UPnP.

vlc uses avahi to find potential renderers.
On an ubuntu desktop, I run avahi-discovery.
It finds all the google devices, printers and my Elgato Key Light.

But it doesn't find macast. So I guess this is why vlc doesn't find it.

Versions

• System: (eg:MacOS)
  macast is running on xubuntu 22.04
  it is installed via pip from git, so it is latest code.

there are no errors from macast.
This might be a feature request: advertise with avahi

Is there any other DLNA renderer that can be found?
It seems that avahi is the implementation of Zeroconf, while the DLNA protocol uses the SSDP.

Zeroconf: Airplay, chromeCast, some IOT protocol
SSDP: UPnP, DLNA, P2P

If there are any mistakes, welcome to discuss : )

I don't know much about this, and I don't have any other DLNA renderers, so I don't know. But VLC documentation says it uses avahi and it does not mention SSDP. I have posted a question to VLC forums. regards Tim
