announce services to other systems, what happens - gnb1 - 2021-04-24

I wanted to make a remote control for fun, I was trying to figure out how does kodi announce it's self.
is there a way way from scanning local ports i can tell which is kodi? I want to do this automatically for the user.
i've tried a few routes so far based on the repos, any tips are appreciated
