Doesn't find processing-server #31

Closed boredland closed 9 years ago

boredland commented 9 years ago

Hi there,

I've got a processing-server at an adress running, acessible through my webbrowser. And a spreadpi, accessible through webinterface, too. Sadly the spreadpi doesn't find any running processing-server. Are there any ports, besides 5000, that a regularly used for the processing-server that perhaps aren't open? Info: my server runs in a chroot in my local network. webinterface is accessible from all devices in my network.

The auto-discovery is a bit brittle, does it work if you enter the IP and port of your postprocessing server manually? Also, sorry for being so quiet/inactive at the moment, I'm pretty busy with university at the moment and am currently unable to devote much time to open source development :/

Jep, manual IP does work. That's allright for me, but for user expirience thats not for the best, I think.

I'll close that for now.

Yes, it's not ideal, but short of adding a ton of extra dependencies and complexity (zeroconf, bonjour, mdns, etc) UDP broadcasting seemed to be the 'easiest' way to go about it at the time I researched that topic (service autodiscovery). You're welcome to bring in alternative implementations, though!
