Not getting any output from example app even though run shows servers about flutter_nsd HOT 3 CLOSED

This seems like a local issue on your side. I just tried both Windows and Android example clients while running a fake server on MacOS with dns-sd -R TestService _http._tcp . 3000 and could successfully see the service as can be seen from the screenshot below:

Which means flutterNsd.stream emits services as they're discovered.

What version of Flutter are you on?
Are you using the latest version of flutter_nsd?

A few tips on how to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Try the pre-built example clients from Github:
   Windows: https://github.com/Nimrodda/flutter_nsd/suites/5226672395/artifacts/160346656
   Android: https://github.com/Nimrodda/flutter_nsd/suites/5226672392/artifacts/160345440
   The pre-built clients are configured to discover services of type: _http._tcp. for example a HP Wifi Printer should appear be discovered.

2. Microsoft has a command line tool to discover services: https://github.com/microsoft/FindDevice/releases/tag/v1.0.0
   Example command: FindDevice.exe --service _http._tcp.local

3. If you can't get any service discovered, you can try a fake service like the one I mentioned above from MacOS (dns-sd). I bet there's a similar tool for Windows as well.

Thank you for help so far.

I tried running the pre-compiled app and still did not find any services.

I then downloaded FindDevice and ran as suggested, it found
Discovered: osmc.local 192.168.101.100

Once I started up the dns-sd with the command you provided FindDevices showed
Discovered: {fakeDevice}.local 192.168.101.169
Discovered: osmc.local 192.168.101.100

And the flutter example app was able to find the local fake device from dns sd

Flutter 2.10.1
flutter_nsd - I ran with a package install first, then currently I'm using the latest version of git, but since there's issues finding the osmc service with the pre-built package, I don't think it's something on my side, maybe just the way the service is presenting itself to NSD.

maybe just the way the service is presenting itself to NSD.

Yes, that seems like the case.

My HP WiFi printer shows up in the example app as well.
