How can I get this UDP relay package for casting across VLANs?

@shremi You can see it running from the command line, best is to login using putty with SSH or when you have installed WinSCP press Control T and a terminal will open. Here you enter the ps command (processes status)
psYou will get something like
/root/udpbroadcastrelay$ ps PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 28327 u0- SN 14:19.50 /bin/sh /var/db/rrd/updaterrd.sh 73155 u0 Is 0:00.02 login [pam] (login) 73672 u0 I 0:00.02 -sh (sh) 90155 u0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh /etc/rc.initial 71121 v0 Is 0:00.02 login [pam] (login) 73887 v0 I 0:00.02 -sh (sh) 75937 v0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh /etc/rc.initial 71448 v1 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv1 71544 v2 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2 71638 v3 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv3 71836 v4 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv4 72169 v5 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv5 72465 v6 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv6 72832 v7 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv7 50749 0 S 0:00.00 ./udpbroadcastrelay --id 1 --port 1900 --dev igb1.1005 82781 0 Is 0:00.01 -sh (sh) 83059 0 I 0:00.01 /bin/sh /etc/rc.initial 85940 0 S+ 0:00.07 /bin/tcshBtw Using the commandline I would always advise to install putty https://www.putty.org/
-
first enable SSH in pfSense -> System /Advanced/Admin Access
-
Then install putty https://www.putty.org/ and enable SSH in pfSense and login with SSH

Thanks, this help me to get working control of my devices between VLANs.

@burntoc Thanks for all the hard work on this. I can't wait for this to get a proper pfsense package, and updates when pfsense 2.5 gets released.
This software got the following apps to work across segmented networks:
- Denon HEOS
- Onkyo Remote3
- FiOS TV Remote (plus some FW rules)
-
I have found this tool really handy for me so I want to help to make it happen, unfortunately I don't have the programming skills to do any of the behind the scenes nuts and bolts stuff, but what I can do is front-end stuff and help develop the logic so that a programmer can simply follow that.
To show my genuine interest I have made a package panel and am wondering if it is worth perusing any further, i.e. developing the underlying logic etc? Here is what it looks like:
-
In case this helps anyone, I built this on freeBSD 12.2 for pfsense 2.5.0:
udpbroadcastrelay-pfsense2.5.0.zip -
@sfxdude Thank you! I was just sitting down to spin up a VM to build this for 12.2. You saved me the time.

udpbroadcastrelay-pfsense2.5.0.zipThanks @sfxdude - I will go ahead and update my post above as well to point to yours with the new 2.5 file.
I upgraded to 2.5 yesterday and it looks like the udpbroadcastrelay binary I compiled under FreeBSD 11.3 still works fine under FreeBSD 12.2. Is there a need to upgrade to the latest binary if the old one works fine?
Thanks in advance.
-
@tman222 I'd say if it works it's probably fine, but no harm in rebuilding for the new one.
-
Anyone has the binary avaliable for the sg-1100?
-
Obviously it would need to be compiled for aarch64. It might be simple enough a compile against FreeBSD 12.2 will work. You would need to be setup for cross-compiling or have am aarch64 build box.
Adding your comments to the feature request night be best.Steve

I think it is here https://freebsd.pkgs.org/12/freebsd-aarch64/udpbroadcastrelay-0.3.b.txz.html
I can't test it for aarch64, as I don't own one, but downloaded the am64 version copied it to pfSense 2.5.0 and did a
chmod 755 udpbroadcastrelayThen excuted it and it performed nicely.

Oh that's interesting, I didn't realise it had been included upstream. Makes things a lot easier.
Though I had to upload it rather than fetch it directly:

Cool, this is great news! I assume this link is for the amd64 version of the package?
https://pkgs.org/download/udpbroadcastrelay
https://freebsd.pkgs.org/12/freebsd-amd64/udpbroadcastrelay-0.3.b.txz.htmlI actually just recently recompiled the udpbroadcastrelay source for pfSense 2.5.0 (FreeBSD 12.2 Stable) but will keep this link in mind for future versions. I'll also update my initial post in the thread above.

@stephenw10 - when installing the
udpbroadcastrelayas a FreeBSD package, where on the file system is the binary located (will be needed for ShellCmd)? Thanks in advance. -

@stephenw10 - when installing the
udpbroadcastrelayas a FreeBSD package, where on the file system is the binary located (will be needed for ShellCmd)? Thanks in advance.Usually binary executables from packages go in
/usr/local/binand configuration files in/usr/local/etc. Any shell script provided with the package typically winds up in/usr/local/etc/rc.d. But these are not hard and fast rules - a package creator might deviate from the standard practice. -

btw if you don't have the repository, then do a
pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/All/udpbroadcastrelay-0.3.b.txzfor an AMD64 and then a
rehashand a
pkg info udpbroadcastrelayshows it is nicely installed

Its intended use is to rebroadbcast udp packets on a specific port across interfaces, be those interfaces physical or VLAN. It is used where devices such as Sonos or Sky are spread accross different subnets and are not able to detect the servers or devices. WWW: https://github.com/marjohn56/udpbroadcastrelay -
Hi,
can someone give me a hint how the command looks like for Shellcmd/command prompt (pfsense 2.5.0 / APU2C4)?
With "find / -name 'udpbroadcastrelay'" I could find udpbroadcastrelay in "/usr/local/sbin/".
With Putty and "/usr/local/sbin/udpbroadcastrelay --id 1 --port 5353 --dev igb1 --dev igb1.12 --multicast 224.0.0.251 -s 1.1.1.1 -f > /dev/null" everything works perfectly but not in pfSene (command prompt) itself. -

/usr/bin/nohupcommand as part of the ShellCmd: -
Hi tman222,
thank you very much!
I read your post, but I thought it would also work with "/usr/local/sbin" instead of "/root/udpbroadcastrelay/". Now I copied "udpbroadcastrelay" to root... and it works like a charm
