Failure on Raspberry Pi: getaddrinfo -3001 about node_mdns HOT 6 CLOSED

I discovered that while this has a different error number, it's caused by the same issue over at #130

The same fix works. I modifying /node_modules/msdns/lib/browser.js Browser.defaultResolverSequence to:
Browser.defaultResolverSequence = [ rst.DNSServiceResolve() , 'DNSServiceGetAddrInfo' in dns_sd ? rst.DNSServiceGetAddrInfo() : rst.getaddrinfo({families:[0]}) , rst.makeAddressesUnique() ];
and it fixed the issue.

The change that fixes it is adding "{families:[0]}" to the rst.getaddrinfo() call.

Yes, that's a known issue and disabling IPv6 is the right thing to do. You don't have to modify the package, however. Just use a custom resolver sequence:

I hope this helps...

Sorry but there doesn't seem to be a way to override the resolverSequence when you create an advertisement. Only reference i see in the code are in the browser.
Using v2.5.1 btw.

Well, i still got that error :

ad = mdns.createAdvertisement actualType, config.env.listenPort
ad.start()

after doing some testing i remembered that my app also browses for servers... my bad. Sorry.
