Use hostname instead of ip

NicoHood opened this issue · 0 comments

I wanted to stream the led data to my pi but I had to use an ip. Since most networks use dhcp (and my setup is very flexible) using hostnames would be the best idea.

I could imagine something like "raspberrypi" or "raspberrypi.local" as hostname.

Edit:
I do not know much python, but I did a quick search and the relevant lines are those:

If you change server to 'raspberrypi' it is still able to connect. Using something invalid makes it not work. So the issue can be solved by fixing the settings menu, which is limited to an ip address input and not a full keyboard.
