[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1206377, member: 17766"] Tested successfully with latest Photon firmware, pushed to repo: [URL]https://github.com/ambilight-4-mediaportal/AtmoOrb/commit/703c951106dcd085f415c7c49d8224b65540a781[/URL] Btw Fritzbox probably has a poor implementation or bug when it comes to multicast as it should allow broadcast / multicast independent of the interface :) , tested with other brands like Apple / Asus / Netgear / Routerboard here without issues only for Routerboard needed to disable multicast buffering as it would slow down processing. That article does mention why on WiFi it's important to limit but to completely block it out is kinda excessive especially since plenty of discovery services rely on it nowadays. Originally the design for the Orbs was to use multicast discovery then get IP returned and send that way, however during initial testing found out that it worked pretty well to just send directly over multicast en skip the discovery part. While not best practice it allows for much simpler code and easier usage as you don't need to keep checking if IP changes for instance, since the rate we send is 60 p/s tops to a single group the network load is minimal as well.
