[avahi] how to browse only two (or all) service types

[Ali Mazhar]

Hi Trent,

Thanks for the info. My application is for a mesh network and therefore I need to see all the workstations which are in the same network just like on line users in a messenger!
Btw, how is it possible to remove a published service, e.g. multicast, from avahi without restarting the daemon. Actually, my application simply publishes a multicast stream port using "avahi-publish" and then start VLC application but when VLC is closed the multicast stops but service still remains in avahi daemon unless I restart it which naturally brings down my avahi browse application. Any tips?

BR, Ali
