[SOLVED] Chromecast between diffrent subnet?
« on: May 22, 2019, 02:27:02 pm »
Hello guys,

I use diffrent subnets for cable and wifi (192.168.1.X / 192.168.2.X). I can connect to servers from one subnet to another. But when it comes to the Chromecast it never founds it from the other subnet.

I have seen people talking about Avahi, but it is nothing that i can find to install.

Any ideas for me?

Thanks in advance,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,

Try the os-mdns-repeater plugin.

As the developer of that plugin I can tell you that the mdns-repeater software is sadly limited to 5 networks.

Aah, i have 7 networks selected, let me try to disable the ones i dont really need. Thanks for the heads up.

edit: still cant find the chromecast device on either 4 of the selected vlans. 5th is the vlan the chromecast is on.
Any direction you can point me to troubleshoot this?

would do a packet capture to see if the packets are sent over.
