fix(upnp): make SSDP discovery find every renderer, not a subset - #257
tbrackbill wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Discovery sent a single M-SEARCH datagram and waited 4 seconds. SSDP runs over UDP multicast, which is unreliable by design and routinely dropped by access points and switches, so whichever renderers lost that one packet were never discovered. UPnP UDA 1.1 §1.3.2 has control points repeat the search for exactly this reason. Measured against four upmpdcli renderers on one LAN: the first scan listed one speaker, a later sample listed three in a different order, and only a second full scan found all four. After this change the first scan finds all four in about 1.2 seconds. Four separate causes, all fixed here: - One datagram, never repeated. Now sent three times with gaps between, so a single drop no longer costs a renderer. - The timeout raced the replies. MX is 3, so renderers legitimately answer up to 3 seconds in, and each reply then needs an HTTP description fetch with a 3s connect and 3s receive budget. A 4 second window gave a late replier about a second to be fetched. The window is now 8 seconds. - The socket was closed and the scan returned while description fetches were still in flight, because the listener callbacks were fire-and-forget. Those futures are now tracked and awaited before the socket closes, which is what made the same network yield different results run to run. - The device list was cleared at the start of every scan, so a scan that lost a reply dropped a renderer that was already on screen. Results are now merged by LOCATION and published as they resolve, so the picker fills in progressively; renderers that genuinely went away are pruned at the end, and a scan that found nothing at all leaves the list alone. The merge and prune are split into mergeResolvedDevice/pruneDevicesNotIn so they can be tested directly: discover() binds a real multicast socket, so testing it end to end is not practical, and asserting on the timing constants instead would only test arithmetic between values introduced by this commit. Two edges of the prune are guarded as well. It runs only when the scan completes, so a scan that throws part-way (socket bind, send) does not drop renderers it simply had not heard from yet, and the socket is closed in finally so that path does not leak it. The connected renderer is never pruned: a speaker busy streaming can miss every M-SEARCH in a scan, and the poll already disconnects it after repeated failures if it has really gone. Verified on device by powering off a connected renderer: the poll dropped it after ~65s, and the next scan pruned it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Discovery should find more renderers, but it can also retain a renderer that no longer answers and make more requests to addresses supplied by network devices. The impact is primarily on the local device and destinations it can reach; controlling a renderer still requires the user to select it. Retained concerns

Stop accepting replies before awaiting resolution.
If a reply arrives while Future.wait(resolving) is pending, the listener adds a fetch that this call does not await. discover() can then prune and return before that device resolves. Cancel the socket subscription at the scan deadline, then await the fixed set of fetches before pruning. Dart’s Future.wait iterates its input when called. (api.dart.dev)

Dio 5.11.1 Dart receiveTimeout documentation timeout between data events total response duration
💡 Result:
In **Dio 5.11.1**, `receiveTimeout` is **not** a cap on the total response duration. It limits the wait for the first response bytes and the gap between data-transfer events; a long response can exceed it overall if data keeps arriving within the timeout. `null` or `Duration.zero` disables the limit. [1]
```dart
Options(receiveTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 10))
```
To limit total elapsed time for the whole request, apply a separate overall deadline (for example, with a `Future.timeout` or cancellation logic). [1]
Add a scan-wide deadline for description resolution.
Future.wait(resolving) waits for every tracked description request. Dio 5.11.1's receiveTimeout measures inactivity between received data events, not total response duration. A renderer that sends data periodically can keep discovery active and block later scans. Add a total deadline and cancel outstanding requests when it expires.

Report description-fetch failures to the scan before pruning.
If a renderer replies but its description fetch fails, _resolveDevice logs the error and returns normally. discover() then treats the nonempty seen set as a completed scan and can remove previously known renderers. Return a resolution result or failure status, and skip pruning when a description fetch fails.

Problem
The cast picker often listed only some of the DLNA renderers on the network. Against four
upmpdcli renderers, the first scan listed one; only a second full scan found all four.
Discovery sent one M-SEARCH and waited 4 seconds. SSDP is UDP multicast, which access points and
switches routinely drop, so any renderer that lost that one packet was never found. UPnP UDA 1.1
§1.3.2 has control points repeat the search for this reason.
Fix
Four causes, all fixed here:
then needs a description fetch (3 s connect + 3 s receive). The window is now 8 s.
fetches were still in flight, which is why the same network gave different results each run.
They are now tracked and awaited before the socket closes.
renderer that was already on screen. Results are now merged by LOCATION and published as they
resolve, so the picker fills in progressively. Renderers that really went away are pruned at
the end, and a scan that found nothing leaves the list alone.
Two edge guards on the prune: it only runs when the scan completes (a scan that throws part-way
doesn't drop renderers it hadn't heard from yet, and the socket is closed in
finally), and theconnected renderer is never pruned. A speaker busy streaming can miss every M-SEARCH in a scan,
and the poll already disconnects it after repeated failures if it really has gone.
The merge and prune are split into
mergeResolvedDevice/pruneDevicesNotInso they can betested directly, since
discover()binds a real multicast socket.Testing
rather than duplicates), the end-of-scan prune (keeps answering renderers, drops gone ones,
an empty scan doesn't wipe the list, the connected renderer is never dropped), and LOCATION
header parsing.
flutter test: master's 118 passing tests plus the 13 new ones pass. The 13 tests that fail onmaster fail the same way here, and there are no new analyzer issues.
5/5 cold scans found all four, within about 2.3 s. With the connected renderer powered off, the
poll disconnected it after ~65 s and the next scan pruned it while keeping the other three.
