because this is very often requested:
a plugin may become available.
For some early adopters, a mostly working plugin is attached.
Not yet implemented: status indicator (the thing on the top right on the screen)
Hi Fabian,
If you want to help testing let users know how to install it and tell them what architecture it is for. ;)
Also don't forget to mention that it requires to install "mdns-responder" too.
Cheers,
Franco
sure: to install the package, type
pkg add https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5879.0;attach=2425
on the shell. After a reload it should be available. mdns-repeater should be installed automatically, as it is a dependency.
If not, it can be installed using:
pkg install mdns-repeater
When 17.7.2 is released, it will be available for testing using the os-mdns-repeater-devel package.
I added the package here to avoid the package to be delayed for those who need it.
Hi Fabian,
I have tried to install this plugin but the commad
pkg add https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5879.0;attach=2425
returns error.
Could you help me, please?
Thank you
You could also build from the source:
# opnsense-code plugins
# cd /usr/plugins/net/mdsn-repeater
# make package
# pkg install work/pkg/*.txz
Cheers,
Franco
@fichtner: may be a "problem" with the forum software which does not allow the download without being logged in.
@mic In this case you have to download the file and install manually.
@fabian, yeah that is probably a standard setting
Fabian,
I tried to download the file but I had this error:
404 - Attachment Not Found
then try this
pkg add https://files.fabian-franz.eu/os-mdns-repeater-devel-1.0.txz
Hi,
thank you very much, I try it right now, works great so far.
I killed my manually started mdns-repeater process and just installed the pkg from fabian, logged out and in again and then enabled my 2 interfaces under services and it works!
Thank you for fast and great developing guys, you´re awesome! ;)
hmmm; have to wait for an i386 package :-[

cheers,
UPDATE; please ignore my post have now installed it ;)
yes, it is published in the OPNsense repository since - no need to download a prerelease ;)
Is this working with OpenVPN devices?
as any other plugin: currently no because the OPNsense does not give a real interface name to the plugin.
any news about working mdns-repeater with OpenVPN devices (tun)?
would be very nice..
no
I was using this plug in to enable my chrome casts to live on my untrusted VLAN while being able to cast from my trusted VLAN. Recently stopped working, I can see the devices, but no music will play. Only real changes I made were OPNSense updates. Anyone else have issues?
I have installed OPNsense 2 weeks ago (previously, i was used Pfsense).
mdns has never worked where avahi on Pfsense as worked fine.
I can't detect my chromecast on other vlan and no media.
A new release of this plugin will be availlable soon ?
Thank
Try os-udpbroadcastrelay
Thank you, i'm testing udpbroadcastrelay and it work fine with the correct rules ;D
