Hello Sven, thanks for your fast reply.

For some reasons I do not understand yet, this gives me the expected result in contrast to my own version. I modified it like this to print the results on the Transcript: | message udpSocket | message := String crlf join: #( 'M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1' 'HOST:239.255.255.250:1900' 'MAN:"ssdp:discover"' 'ST:ssdp:all' 'MX:1' ''). udpSocket := Socket newUDP. udpSocket sendData: message toHost: #[239 255 255 250] port: 1900. udpSocket waitForSendDoneFor: 5. udpSocket waitForData. [udpSocket dataAvailable ] whileTrue: [ | buffer | buffer := ByteArray new: 1024. udpSocket receiveUDPDataInto: buffer. Transcript show: 'Received: ', buffer. [udpSocket waitForDataFor: 1] on: Error do: [ ]. ]. udpSocket closeAndDestroy. Currently, this will work for me, since I am not interested in continuously detecting new devices. But you mentioned reading should in general be done in a separate process. Would you reuse the existing udpSocket instance in this case or create a separate one for reading?
