RTL_TCP on a external device (raspberry) not working. v 3.2.3 #147

Closed jpuigs closed 9 months ago

jpuigs commented 9 months ago

I had version 3.2.2 and it was working. I've decided to update to 3.2.3 and I can't get it working anymore... Besides, it mixes port 1234 with 1235 image

No, it does not mix anything. 1235 is (since long) the port for a back-channel from the rtl_tcp, which your rtl_tcp obviously does not service. You should use the rtl_tcp from @old-dab's Github site for your raspi. The back-channel port always is one more than the forward-channel port, 1234 in your case.

But why it was working in V 3.2.2 ? I saw it today, just before uninstalling and installing 3.2.3

softsyst commented 9 months ago

There were changes in the 3.2.3: The rtl_tcp does not work any more, what is needed is the rtl2_tcp, working on Windows or Linux. QIRX offers a selection of devices if more than one is connected. However, if only one is connected, the serial has to be reported back also, what is not provided by the rtl_tcp. In the case of three devices connected, it looks like so (the tile is of course a misnomer) image

You have the following options:

  1. Continue like before with the 3.2.2 and rtl_tcp on your raspi
  2. Use the 3.2.3 and the rtl2_tcp on the raspi. This has the disadvantage that other apps will not run any more, as they usually won't cooperate with the rtl2_tcp. For other apps using the rtl_tcp, the rtl_tcp could be started additionally listening at another port, like 2234, the port selection goes with the -p option. Not tested though, but it should work.
  3. Use the V4, which offers in QIRX to select two drivers, the old rtl_tcp or the rtl2_tcp. This was introduced on user requests, due to the mentioned disadvantage of 2.

Hope this helps.

Thank's, but I can't find 3.2.2 anywhere....

Not nice, but not an issue of QIRX. I close this one. If you need the 3.2.2, send me a PM, I'll send you a link.
