mdns suddenly stopped working (Windows)
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I had node_mdns set up and working just fine. Today I tried to start my application and it errors out with this:
I tried to npm uninstall and re-install mdns without success.
Unexpected result while probing for avahi: { [Error: dns service error: unknown error code] errorCode: -65563 }
App threw an error when running [Error: DNSServiceRef is not initialized]
avahi.js:28 is this: dns_sd.DNSServiceRefDeallocate(sr);
Hm. I'm afraid I'm not overly familiar with the behavior on windows. Since it was working before...
Is the bonjour service (from the SDK) up and running? Maybe it crashed? ... or $something messed with the installation? Maybe restart/reinstall that?
Hope this helps.
After I restarted my machine it works fine again ... jesus. Seems like, indeed, the bonjour service crashed or didn't start at all.
