Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 1.3.0 removed the old synchronous API. All functionality now requires asyncio.

fix

Use async/await pattern. Wrap code in asyncio.run() if needed.

affects: >=1.3.0

gotchaSSDPClient/SSDPServer must be used as async context managers or have start()/close() called explicitly.

fix

Use 'async with client:' or call await client.start() and await client.close().

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe library does not support multicast loopback by default, so discovery may not see services on the same host.

fix

Set loopback=True in SSDPClient constructor to enable.

affects: >=1.0.0
