Network ports missing

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Hello,

I'm running IDE 2.3.4 off the AppImage file. When I try to select a port in the tools/port menu, it only lists serial ports. When I exit the 2.3.4 IDE, and I start 1.8.19 on the very same Linux Ubuntu 22.04, all my running NodeMCU's are listed with their IP addresses correctly. Honestly, it was so long ago, I don't remember what else had to be done back then, when I configured the old IDE, so I'm unsure if it is a bug of the 2.3.4, or just a misconfiguration. The previous 2.3.3 version did not show the IP's either, though. Please help ! Thanks !

Post some screen grabs of what you see and think is wrong. Mentioning ports and ip addresses in the same post is confusing.

This is how it appears in the 1.8.19 IDE. I meant the OTA-capable devices. The "network ports" are missing in the new IDE.

Ok, that makes more sense. I have only once seen an IP. I looked into OTA but it is so slow compared to hard wired I quickly discarded it as a usefull option. I do have a remote situation but I upload to my A board, physically remove my B board and plug in the A board. I use female hdr strips to mount the board.

As I browsed through old topics, I learned that this problem was already there in the IDE 2 betas, but later it somehow got sorted out. That's what I'd like to know, how.

OK, as a workaround I downloaded the 0.9.2 version of mdns-discovery and replaced the binary in the folder ~/.arduino15/packages/builtin/tools/mdns-discovery/1.0.9

Now it seems to work.

I found that ESP8266 boards do not show up but ESP32 boards do.

How did you do this exactly ? I mean where did you get it from.

For an ESP8266 it is actually significantly faster than the default Serial upload speed,

Deva_Rishi - I have only ESP32, and get very sporadic connection to the network OTA ports.
Also running IDE 2.3.4 same as OP, and I see MDNS is on 1.0.9... maybe it's just a general problem with MDNS 1.0.9 ??

so... I tried the 0.9.2 mdns-discovery, and something stops working after a while. The port then shows disconnected, and the menu option to select another port is deactivated. can't say it was successful.
