Not working on Windows 11

It only detects Renderer on the PC, not within the LAN. Not sure if there is still maintenance, but this is the only tool of that kind. I dont know why Microsoft itself is not implementing it. Please consider an update.

Since i work myself on UPnP in WSL i most probably know where the bug is. You do the M-Search on the wrong IP address . Windows has quite some internal IP addresses and interface names.

Try: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File wsl_scan.ps1

script:

try {
$sock = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.Socket([System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily]::InterNetwork,
[System.Net.Sockets.SocketType]::Dgram,
[System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType]::Udp)

$sock.Connect("8.8.8.8", 53)
$localEP = $sock.LocalEndPoint
$localIP = $localEP.Address.ToString()
$sock.Close()

} catch {
Write-Error "Could not determine local IP via socket method: $_"
exit 1
}

if (-not $localIP) {
Write-Error "No valid local IPv4 address found."
exit 1
}

$multicastAddress = "239.255.255.250"
$port = 1900

$request = @"
M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1
HOST: ${multicastAddress}:${port}
MAN: "ssdp:discover"
MX: 3
ST: ssdp:all

"@

$bytes = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($request)

Bind to the detected local IP

$localEP = New-Object System.Net.IPEndPoint ([System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse($localIP)), 0

$udpClient = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient($localEP)
$udpClient.JoinMulticastGroup([System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse($multicastAddress))

$remoteEP = New-Object System.Net.IPEndPoint ([System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse($multicastAddress)), $port

Send request

$udpClient.Send($bytes, $bytes.Length, $remoteEP) | Out-Null
Write-Host "M-SEARCH sent via $localIP..."

Collect responses

$timeoutMs = 5000
$stopWatch = [System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch]::StartNew()

while ($stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds -lt $timeoutMs) {
if ($udpClient.Available -gt 0) {
$remote = New-Object System.Net.IPEndPoint([System.Net.IPAddress]::Any, 0)
$responseBytes = $udpClient.Receive([ref]$remote)
$response = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($responseBytes)
Write-Host "Response from $($remote.Address):n$responsen---`n"
} else {
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
}
}

$udpClient.Close()

Hi @manfredguentner would you consider a fork of this project? It seems like the original developer is no longer maintaining it.

I am sorry, i dont have time and probably not the knowhow for a fork.
