Originally I thought they had some kind of MPD mDNS implementation

#

so I was asking for discovery

It's about name resolution, not discovery

#

yep, that's what I now also ended up with

#

I don't like it either

@visual fractal how does name resolution work in HassOS, is it mDNS + DNS, or only DNS?

#

Or is this a stupid question and aiohttp does DNS-only name resolution or something?

For HAOS it is mDNS + DNS. For mDNS there are also options to disable it (for special setups like multiple VLANs with reflectors).

But generally, mDNS host names should work on HAOS

Thanks

#

I've asked if they use HAOS or just container. If it's container I think the PR should be closed, maybe with an update to the container install docs mentioning we require name resolution to be both mDNS + DNS.
