Hello
I'm running Kodi on Ubuntu.

My Iptables ruleset is to block anything Output/input not known.
I have a lot of dropped TCP connections on high ports to my local-devices (Heos-Speakers), and the connection attemps is comming when kodi is running.
In the Kodi log i see this:

over and over again. How do i make kodi stop trying to "inspect" my local-devices?

Thank You

Is only see kodi trying to inspect my devices when I enabled UPnP components in my kodi logging. So I assume i have to stop Kodi from using UPnP, I have already disabled UPnP/DLNA from the GUI - But kodi still tries to inspect devices.

turning off UPNP, avahi and airplay should do the trick

Hm - already tried tjat

cant you add your local safe internal network do it can be scanned just a shot in the dark

I have the same problem
UPnP and AirPlay is turned OFF, but KODI is still inspecting devices and subscribing to services of other devices - some of them even over my VPN to my office network!

I can't find anything named 'avahi'... but Zeroconf is not active (which also prevents Airplay from being activated anyway)

Is there something that can be added to advancedsettings.xml (or some other xml file) to stop this?
