#69 can't find current ip cameras only link local address
hi,
we'd like to use jmdns to find the current axis ip cameras on the lan. for this we _axis-video._tcp.local. which they use for this purpose. i attached our test program for this.
- with version 3.1.6 it find the first random ip camera (see bug 3012248), but the right ip address eg: 10.30.0.119
- with the latest version 3.2.1 it find all ip camera, but with it's zeroconf ip address eg: 169.254.244.181, but not the real one 10.30.0.119. what's more the program never exit. why? which cause the test program prints the same camera many times.
what should i call to exit? what's the problem with test program? i'd like to only run a one time test so which camera currently is on the lan and nothing else.
thanks in advance.
regards.

simple test program
This is very unlikely a JmDNS issue.
The device is the one that send the IP address. The device sends an A DNS record with its unique name and its IP address. This unique name is included in service record. JmDNS takes the name in the service record and match it with the A record to determine the IP address of the service.
Please check the device with another tool or the included browser and show that the device actually advertise itself correctly.
as i wrote with jmdns 3.1.6 we got the correct ip address and not the link local address, so yes the device actually advertise itself correctly.
Did you ever resolve this issue? Could you try with the top of tree? I don't really understand what the problem is. As I said I would need quite a bit more info on how the camera advertise itself to be able to help.
I don't have access to an Axis IP camera but it you loan one to me I would be glad to help you.
