aethercast doesn't see LG Smart+ TV

[Tony Espy]

I managed to get the previous miracast-service to see my LG Smart+ TV exactly once, and actually managed to share the screen from my MX4 on the TV ( see attached ). Pretty cool!

That said, after re-installing from the silo after the re-name to aethercast, I can no longer see my TV in the list of devices when scanning.

Note -- as manually updating from miracast to aethercast was painful, I opted to re-flash. I didn't note the previous image number which was used for my successful test, however it was rc-proposed, and was flashed sometime in the last week.

I can see the TV fine from my Nexus5 ( lollipop ) on either the WiFi:Advanced:WiFiDirect or the Display:CastScreen pages.

I've tried rebooting the phone several times, and also have re-started the ScreenShare app on my TV, to no avail.

Note, the TV shows up as "LG Smart+ TV" in the device list on both the Nexus5 and MX4 ( when working ).

Here's my image info:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i
current build number: 190
device name: arale
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en
last update: 2015-12-10 17:44:00

version ubuntu: 20151210.1

After freshly flashing, I installed silos 0 and 40, and also installed gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad and gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly per the instructions at:

Would be great if you can start aethercast manually with the following steps:

$ sudo stop aethercast
$ sudo MIRACAST_SUPPLICANT_DEBUG= aethercast

This will include all messages from wpa. Please attach the output afterwards here.

Needs retesting with all the recent changes for improved network management.

Tested, works well with latest rc-proposed on turbo (#128).
