Can not discover Vizio TV

[KidSquid1]

Hello -

Attempting to deploy on a Windows Server box that has Python installed and running.

When running the discover command

pyvizio --ip=0 discover Nothing is returned.....

I can ping the tv as shown below in the screen grab, any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi @KidSquid1 this is likely because mDNS is blocked on your LAN. Is there something in particular you are trying to achieve with discovery given that you already know the IP of the TV?

I just pushed a change that falls back to SSDP if mDNS discovery fails: #122

I had a similar problem. The first thing I did was run this command:

avahi-browser -all

You should see the device show up. For instance with device_type=tv you should see viziocast entry. What I found out is that I had my tv on eco mode for the device. You have to set up as quick start. If you don't, the device won't respond.
