Discover LocalSend on different subnet

[wowbufer]

Hello,

well I have a Local Send PC on one subnet (192.168.5.0/24) and while WiFi devices are on subnet (192.168.6.0/24).

I can ping anything from anywhere and i can send files via Local Send if i write manual IP address, but discovery is not working, I have enabled IGMP snooping on Access point and on router. Still discovery dosen't work.

anybody have advice or solution what to do? or maybe somebody already did configuration like i have.

Mikrotik is router, ubiquiti is access point.

Cheers :)

You can add favorites if it doesn't work.

I have common new people sending me files at my print studio (at least 5/people a day), so it's a bit annoying on long run to do it every day, if you get me

[Tienisto]

Yeah, it is indeed annoying.
Currently, LocalSend (1) broadcasts a UDP package to scan its network and also (2) sends a HTTP request to all devices in all connected subnets (which works more reliable than UDP/multicast).
Since your devices live in different subnets, the second method seem to fail while the first doesn't work at all.
Unfortunately, I don't have a fix for this either...

Thank you for your time :)
I have workaround with buying NIC and put it in PC for recieving files, that NIC will have 192.168.6.0/24 and everything will be good :)

LocalSend is awesome app, just my usecase is a bit different from others.

Thank you one more time @Tienisto

I have the same problem, PC is on one subnet, wifi devices on another. It would be nice if I could add favorites by IP without having to discover them first. That would be a nice workaround.

Kinda, im setting up LocalSend for one print studio in my town, so there comes at least 5-10new people every day. I created one open SSID with firewall rules that can access only LocalSend pc over that SSID and on that way we are eliminating sending files over email for printing.

So in my scenario even that favorite IP is not much of help since constantly new people are coming to print studio.

Cheers :)
