YazFi host name already in use on macOS with YazFi

[rde02v]

Hi,

I have a quite simple setup on RT-AC1900P with merlin 386.2 and yazFi 4.2.0.
Whenever I have YazFi installed, my macOS(11.3.1 (20E241)) keeps revving the computer host names as in
my-mac (1) => my-mac (2) => .... => my-mac (N)
where N is as high as 1161 now. If I uninstall YazFi no such thing happens on the Merlin firmware. Is there something I might be failing to configure?

can you try running the below?

echo "sed -i '/^\[Server\]/a cache-entries-max=0' "'"$1" # '"YazFi" >> /jffs/scripts/avahi-daemon.postconf
service restart_mdns

Thanks!

doom@RT-AC1900P:/tmp/home/root# echo "sed -i '/^\[Server\]/a cache-entries-max=0' "'"$1" # '"YazFi" >> /jffs/scripts/avahi-daemo
n.postconf
doom@RT-AC1900P:/tmp/home/root# cat /jffs/scripts/avahi-daemon.postconf
#!/bin/sh
echo "" >> "$1"
echo "" >> "$1"
echo "[reflector]" >> "$1" # YazFi
echo "enable-reflector=yes" >> "$1" # YazFi
sed -i '/^\[Server\]/a cache-entries-max=0' "$1" # YazFi
doom@RT-AC1900P:/tmp/home/root# service restart_mdns

Done.

I guess now I wait

this seems to have fixed it. Thank you!

This will be included in the next version of yazfi, so good to know it works

Thank you for this! This has been bugging me for months. I thought It was Bonjour acting off...

Confirming that with above change I also have not had any Mac hostname changes in the past 24 hours
