[Question] Why mDNS query responses are dropped? about mdns HOT 6 CLOSED

Feel free to open a PR with support, I'm sure others will find it useful in the future as well.

Yeah, the library doesn't handle the :aaaa and 47 types that are returned by your services.

It should be relatively easy to add support by adding a few new handle_device functions to support the type returned in the mDNS answers.

Something like

def handle_device(%DNS.Resource{:type => :aaaa, data: data}, device) do

and make sure to capture the relevant data you need into the device struct and update the state.

It looks like type 47 is a NSEC record, and has to do with DNSSEC. I'm not sure how useful that is to you.

The aaaa record is the IPv6 response, which is probably what you want to handle.

@entone Could I have one question?
As far as I understand the Mdns.Client code, after receiving a response we take our device, iterate over an and ar lists and for each %DNS.Resource{} we update our device fields.

But I don't know which fields I should update. E.g. for :type => :ptr you updates services field, for :type => :srv we have :port update. I suppose that I should also update services field for NSEC records but how can I know that? Why we e.g. don't update services field for :a records?
