I just noticed in my Plex Media Server*.logs that i have a bunch of

Oct 10, 2019 18:51:07.054 [0x7fbb48ff9700] ERROR - SSDP: Error parsing device schema for http://192.168.1.1:1990/WFADevice.xml

repeating twice a minute.

Where do these come from and how do you stop it?

The device is advertising itself and then not responding to PMS’s SSDP identification query.

You should be able to go into the device and turn SSDP discovery OFF.

SSDP/upnp is not enabled on my router (192.168.1.1) but it is still doing this

What’s the device & model ?

Some don’t have a setting but still do respond to queries in a bad way

I have the Edgerouter X

Gack, Ubitquity.

More than likely, it’s still enabled in their cloud-based app.
I’ve seen this before but not positive which settings turn it off.

Have you checked for updates recently ?

They should be responding properly but clearly aren’t. This isn’t the first time Ubi equipment is missing a few vital features.

If you’re interested, there’s a Python script here which will discover UPnP-capable devices on your network and display some information about them:

It could be helpful in determining what is responding, and how. For each device which responds, it will show the manufacturer and some additional info such as its location (URI to an XML file).

If you do decide to try it, you may want to increase the socket timeout in the function discover_pnp_locations. It’s currently set to 3 seconds; I’d try it at about 10:
sock.settimeout(3) changed to sock.settimeout(10)

thanks i did run it and it does list the problem device but it wasnt able to pull any information from it.
