GQRX and SoapySDRServer fail to connect

[thehose]

I'm attempting to connect to a remote rtl_sdr dongle running on a SopySDRServer. It works well when using osmocom_fft with these device strings:

"soapy=0,driver=remote,remote=sdr" "soapy=0,driver=remote,remote=sdr,remote:driver=rtlsdr"

When I try with gqrx (2.5.3) I does not connect and the server shows no connection attempted. Attached is the conf file used. Soapy_RTL_SDR.txt

PS: I have the SoapySDRServer installed and working. I would be glad to run any test's you may need in order to debug this issue.

Will try to take a look at it for the 2.7 release. Any more info and data is of course welcome :-)

Absolutely, I’ll keep poking around and if anything comes from that I’ll let you know. I’m expecting a LimeSDR at the end of this year (?) and then I’ll switch to that device and put the dongle to eternal rest.

Hi,

I just tried using SoapySDRServer with the LimeSDR and RTL-SDR and it works. The device string I used was:

soapy=0,driver=remote,remote:driver=lime

and

soapy=0,driver=remote,remote:driver=rtlsdr

respectively.

So, it appears to be working with the latest software.

How can i specify the address of the soapyRemoteServer?

[szpajder]

soapy=0,driver=remote,remote=<ip_address_or_hostname>,remote:driver=<remote_driver_name>
