Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week?
chromecast_mpris is a daemon for controlling Chromecasts from Linux that I've added a few new features to, including a new dark mode icon and support for displaying more metadata. Having trouble replicating this issue, though. Also, I found out that Linux Uprising took the time to write about chromecast_mpris, which is pretty cool.

My network home setup – v4.0
IoT VLAN indeed can be annoying. It's getting better as a lot of the more "prosumer" grade routers are supporting it. I use Sonos at home too, which means I had to deploy this into a VM to bridge the VLANs: https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay.
There are some funny (?) things that turn up too, like learning the Roku remote iOS app "discovers" devices by opening a TCP connection to every address in parallel on its local /24 (!!!). It sends out and receives mDNS packets that would tell it exactly where they are, but they are ignored by the app.

Docker Access to multiple VLANS
I want to use this Multicast Relay docker container to forward mDNS packages between my VLANS.

Scratching my head with vlan and broadcasting
A lightweight alternative to Avahi is this multicast and SSDP relay script https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay

Airprint across VLANs
I have removed all firewall rules and set up multi-cast relay (https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay) and I can see the printer (a Canon PIXMA G3650) but setup fails from a mac on a separate VLAN. If I set up from same VLAN and print from there all is fine, but as soon as I am on a separate VLAN I cannot either setup or print.

HELP - UDR: SSH and accessing the Unif-Os Shell
If you know your way around Linux, you can still install things without docker. Like the multicast-relay OP wants to use is just a python package. So you would just need to install python first with apt-get, the dependencies, and just download the python package and run it.

Sonos + Vlan + UDM Pro = getting rekt
From there just setup the firewall rules to not block sonos devices from establishing connections on another vlan follow the instructions at multicast relay github here https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay
