watchdog initialized, but no frames received

[serhan-gul]

Hi, thanks for the extensive framework. I managed to compile the source in Ubuntu 16.04 and I can run the client and server binaries. I wanted to test out the software and my goal is to capture my desktop in the server and stream it to the client. The server and the client are on the same machine.

In the bin directory, I start the server using:
./ga-server-periodic config/server.desktop.conf

and the client using:
./ga-client config/client.rel.conf rtsp://192.168.1.1:8554/desktop

as stated in the Quick start guide.

However, on the client log, I continuously get the message:
"watchdog: initialized, but no frames received ..."

My questions is, what might be going wrong here? I was basically expecting a screen showing me the desktop capture but ended up getting the above message. Is my expectation correct to begin with? Should I run the server and the client on two different machines?

Thank you very much for your answer.

Check your firewall if port is open

Add proto = TCP on your client configuration. [i.e config/client.rel.conf]

If that doesnt help , try connecting it with vlc to check if your client is actually receiving data from the server or not.

got the same problem, just check the network, assure both server and client ends in the same vlan,then the program run properly.
