Broadcast to find all of the Roku

Archived

Hello, I made a deep linking implementation in my app and now want to use it in my Android app, same as Youtube has feature Watch on Roku. But the problem is how to Find my Roku(or Rokus) in the local network. I tried to ping the broadcast or curl the /query/device-info (as described here), but nothing happened. What can I do to achieve this?

SSDP worked in combination with Wireshark, but using Wireshark is not a good idea, it needs to be done by code.

You can broadcast SSDP M-SEARCH requests, or listen for SSDP NOTIFY responses, or send ECP requests to all hosts on the subnet.

I have some code in my VioletBug debugger GUI that uses all three methods: https://github.com/belltown/violetbug/blob/master/source/lib/VBDiscover.js
