View Full Version : Autodetection Loops w/More than 2 systems on network
We have 6 Xboxes on my LAN (5 roommates, 1 kitchenbox), and I have noticed that the Networking > Autodetect feature works properly only with 2 systems on the same network. If you have 3 or more Xboxes on the same LAN running XBMC and they all have Autodetect turned on, all systems will experience the same "SoAndSo Autodetected!" toast messages over and over again, not just once. This basically renders the feature un-usable on our network :(
Is there any way I can help resolve this bug?
haha priceless!
I believe Geminiserver is the one that added the feature. No idea how to reach him, he's not very prone to fix issues in his code either
I was thinking about it, and a simple logic fork would maybe fix this. Each time a system was autodetected, XBMC could note its IP address, and then if it autodetects something with that same IP address again, it would simply not do anything. would that work?
some old threads on this:

So this is not a new issue. Has been there for quite some time.
I know, I have started other threads about this issue. However it still hasn't been resolved and I would like to be able to use this feature, which is why I posted another thread about it.

Perhaps there could be a way to supress the notification, but leave the feature enabled?
