I have 2 RoPieee endpoints (let’s call them A and B) which should be configured exactly the same way. I can stream through them just fine, but I am seeing a minor issue:
A’s UI is reachable both using the hostname (http://A.local) and the IP, but B is only reachable using the IP. Also, on A’s ‘Devices’ page, B does not show up. When I ‘ping B.local’ on the command line the hostname resolves to it’s IP just fine. Any idea what’s going on?
.local makes use of MDNS (Multicast DNS). There are a number of things that can go wrong. One of them is that your router plays an important role here.
It can resolve itself after a while, resetting your router and the Pi’s might to the trick as well.
oh. one more thing: would be great if you can send me feedback from the B unit (without rebooting it!)
