Update rate not showing

[TechCom]

On linux PC I get to step 2. "Click on start processing. Confirm that an update rate is showing."
And nothing.

Power shows ok underneath the non-existent update rate.
I ran the 4 tuner tests just fine.

What is your power source, and have you been able to run all four units with rtl_test simultaneously?

[CCode]

Were there any warnings when you ran the tests? Maybe -7 / -9 warnings?

[TechCom]

No warnings.
As for power, I got 4 instances of SDR# running at once. Granted different operating system and as 4 separate SDR's.

If you edit the run.sh file, you can remove the &>/dev/null part on the python call near the end. That will sent all error messages to the terminal. Maybe some errors due to missing packages etc are showing up.

Looks like there are 2 different issues.

First issue is the webserver can't bind to the port. I don't believe this is the cause of the update rate not showing, but pretty easy one to fix. Typically this happens when there is already something running on the same port. Can you run these 3 commands?

The first one installs the tools. The second command lists the ports and the process that is binding to the port. The third one will just list your networking information which should list the IP.

Code: Select all

> sudo apt install net-tools

> netstat -ltnp | grep ':80'

> ip addr

Also, at the top of the run.sh file there's this section. Can you paste what you have in yours?

Code: Select all

BUFF_SIZE=512 #Must be a power of 2. Normal values are 128, 256. 512 is possible on a fast PC.
IPADDR="192.168.1.103"

The second issue is the error below and is probably the reason the update rate is not showing. Can you try increasing the BUFF_SIZE at the top of run.sh? The error seems to suggest it's set too low which is surprising to me since it seems like the same buffer size is used everywhere, but I'm not too familiar with the code yet.

Code: Select all

 struct.error: unpack requires a buffer of 1048576 bytes

Just a note to please NOT change the BUFF_SIZE parameter away from 256 at the moment, unless you're able to understand and manually edit the buffer parameters in the C code. Had to temporarily remove the ability to adjust them at runtime via the script due to some strange compiler issues. Still investigating that issue.

Hmm the ability to not assign the IP shouldn't cause it to crash, but just in case, can you try editing run.sh and setting the IP address to your machines actual address? Also, just checking is your machine running any other servers on port 8081? CCodes answer above should help you find that out.

The second error usually occurs only after a crash from something else (so possibly the TCP error), as the data stream could stop and only give half a buffer after an exception.

Focusing on getting the sample rate to show something first... Are you suggesting that not having the IP/network stuff fixed is actually causing the update rate issue?
