Description
===========

mDNSView is a simple tool for Windows that displays all mDNS records
published by devcies connected to your local network. For every mDNS
record, the following information is displayed: IP address of the device,
Name, Record Type (A, AAAA, TEXT, PTR, SRV), and Record Value.



System Requirements
===================

This tool works on any version of Windows starting from Windows XP and up
to Windows 11. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.



Start Using mDNSView
====================

mDNSView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL
files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file -
mDNSView.exe
In order to retrieve the mDNS records on your network, simply press the
'Start mDNS Scan' toolbar button or the F5 key. After short time you
should see all mDNS records on your network, assuming that you have
devices on your network that support mDNS protocol.
Optionally, you can export the mDNS records to
csv/tab-delimited/xml/html5/JSON file by using the 'Save Selected Items'
option (Ctrl+S) or the 'Save All Items' option (Shift+Ctrl+S). You can
also copy the selected mDNS records to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) and then
paste them to Excel or any other application.



Translating mDNSView to other languages
=======================================

In order to translate mDNSView to other language, follow the instructions
below:
1. Run mDNSView with /savelangfile parameter:
   mDNSView.exe /savelangfile
   A file named mDNSView_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
   mDNSView utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
   editor.
3. Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally,
   you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site.
   (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information,
   it'll be used in the 'About' window.
4. After you finish the translation, Run mDNSView, and all translated
   strings will be loaded from the language file.
   If you want to run mDNSView without the translation, simply rename the
   language file, or move it to another folder.
