Topic: SVPCast Network Discovery

It seems at some point SVP saw a device it could cast to and added it to the list of available devices to stream to (instead of just offering HLS). The issue was that I had that device configured to use DHCP, and so there were like 6 or 7 entries for that same device with different IP's so I told SVP to clear them out, but now none are coming back.

My question is, how can I have SVP scan my network for things like Chromecasts, or alternatively, if I know the IP address of my device, how can I add it to svpcast for streaming? Thanks!

Edit:

In my cast.cfg I can see the following entry and the device is online and pingable, but I can't select anything other than "hls" from the cast dropdown

"known/192_168_0_242": "gcast",
    "known/192_168_0_242/model": "UN75RU7100FXZA",
    "known/192_168_0_242/name": "[TV] Samsung 7 Series (75)",

Edit2:

Alternatively, if anyone who is using Linux and streams to a chromecast or other network device comes across this, could you reply with your ~/.local/share/SVP4/settings/cast.cfg? Windows uers, I don't know where your cast.cfg is saved, but if you find it please post!

how? hmm
if I add your lines into my cast.cfg and restart SVP - I can see this enrty in the dropdown

it always "scans the network" by sending periodic SSDP requests (multicast to 239.255.255.250) and reading all the replies (if any)

Ah it showed back up eventually
