- Wed Jan 13, 2016 2:35 pm #38710 mDNSResponder currently doesn't support discovering services on the devices on the network, it only answers to queries. Does anyone have any idea how to let mDNSResponder do what it already does, but then doing elsewhere the sending of queries and handling the incoming answers? UDP and mDNS are above my skill-level, I'm not familiar with either protocol.

- Thu Jan 14, 2016 2:22 am #38744 Nevermind, I decided to take a stab at it anyways and forked esp8266 on github and modified the existing mDNS-library. I've got basic discovery working, but I need to adjust the code and prettify it up before seeing if upstream would be accepting a commit.
