Devices don't show up

[arantesxyz]

Hello, I'm trying to run the code bellow, but devices are never found even tho I have a lot of them here.

const ChromecastAPI = require('chromecast-api')

const client = new ChromecastAPI()

client.on('device', function (device) {
    console.log(device)
})

I can see the devices using the cast option in Google Chrome.

Could this be a firewall problem? I'm using Ubuntu WSL on Windows 11. (Also tested with a XUBUNTU machine and didn't worked)

Similar issue on my side, the devices are showing up though as soon as I show the device list in chrome. It seems the mdns query or what ever exactly is triggering the broadcast of the chromecsat devices is not correclty working

I found a "solution" ;-), it's about the mdns query in my case. especially because I have more than one network device, even though mdns should broadcast on all devices:

it seems this does not work in my case. Anyway, if I call:

const mdns = require('multicast-dns')
const _mdns = mdns({interface: '10.1.0.5'})
_mdns.query('_googlecast._tcp.local', 'PTR')

where 10.1.0.5 is the device ip of the network I'm interested in, all chromecast devices are found by the lib :)

hope this helps

The solution on my side was to install "Bonjour SDK from Apple" on Windows 10
