Remote eye service is not working #10

Closed jbyu closed 5 years ago

jbyu commented 5 years ago

I follow the instruction: installed RabbitMQ and open 5672,11234 port on work station and min-PCs. Download remote_eye.zip and extract to C:/Capturer, then install service with administrator. But the devices won't show up. I use Volumetric Capture and Tools Release 3.0 and remote_eye.zip 2.0 Thank you.

Hi @jbyu ,

Thank you for using volumetric capture. Did you install the Service on all the mini-PCs? 1) You can check if the Service is installed and running from the Windows Task Manager (Services Tab). 2) You can check the log of the service (The log is saved at C:/Capturer/bin/) to check if the service get a request from the workstation to open the remote eye application. 3) You can manually open the remote_eye application on each NUC to check if they connect to the main PC. Open a command prompt in "C:/Capturer/bin" and run remote_eye.exe --address <The ip address of the workstation> --port <The default rmq port (typically 5672)> --user <The username of the rmq brocker (_volumetric_ if you followed the instructions)> --pass <The password of you rmq broker (_capture_ if you followed the instructions)>

I just tested one mini-PC.

  1. The service is running.
  2. The log shows no request from the workstation. It only shows [timestamp]: Listener started listening... [timestamp]: Process name: C:/Capturer/bin/remote_eye.exe
  3. I can manually open remote_eye and connect to the workstation.

Did you open port 11234 on UDP or TCP protocol? (It should be UDP, just saw that in the wiki this is omitted)

jbyu commented 5 years ago

Yes, UDP is the key! Thank you.
