I'm confused about the results from my mDNS discovery to find my Moode system.

My host name under system config is set to "master-bathroom". 

I have one system (as far as I know), but I get two identical results where the name is "moOde audio player: master-bathroom-2".

I would like to only get one result, w/o the "-2" at the end. Do you know what I can change to achieve this result?

@fabnavigator

What do you mean by "my mDNS discovery"?

As far as I can tell, neither the Linux avahi-browse application used in moOde for player discovery nor the mDNS discovery apps on my Android phone add any ornamentation to the hostname strings they report.

Looks like you need to explore the documentation and code for node-red-node-discovery.

You can play with avahi-browse from the CLI in moOde to see what services are being offered on your LAN. Compare them with what you see in node-red-node-discovery.

Quote:Troubleshooting

Hostname changes with appending incrementing numbers

This is a known bug that is caused by a hostname race condition. One possible workaround is disabling IPv6 to attempt to prevent the race condition. If multiple interfaces are present use allow-interfaces to limit Avahi to a single interface. Another possible workaround is to disable the cache to prevent Avahi from checking for host name conflicts altogether, but this prevents Avahi from performing lookups.
