Using DV-Runtime to remote access a camera

[Moisés Felipe]

I managed to  launch DV-Runtime with a Remote GUI and now, on the machine running the remote GUI, I want to make some networking with my own python program.

I followed the instructions to create a tcp client on the GUI to stream the data to my python code but I keep getting "connection actively refused" error. I know the tcp client works if the camera is directly connected to the workstation running the GUI, but is not working when the GUI is connected to a camera remotely.

How could make this work? is there an option that doesn't involve using the GUI?

Thanks

Hello,

you need to make sure the remote DV TCP server is listening on the actual external interface, the easiest way is to make sure the listening IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 so it listens on all network interfaces.

Also make sure there's no firewalls or any other network blocking on both sides.

Hope this helps, have a nice day!

Hi, 

Connect with remote Client with startup script changes:

1) Change the IP address from 127.0.0.1 (listen on local host only) to 0.0.0.0 in the startup scripts at /usr/lib/systemd/system/dv-runtime.service or /etc/init.d/dv-runtime. 

Connect with remote Client via dv-gui:

1) Open dv

2) Under tab "Connect to" - deselect "Manage local runtime instances"

3) Press "Connect to remote runtime"

4) In the pop-up box. Enter the Address and Port (default 4040) to the client that is running the remote runtime.
