Access AMIP socket server from *nix Options

[uplate]

Hi, I am interested in trying to access AMIP from *nix. It appears that AMIP server creates a TCP socket connection that should be able to be accessed remotely. Can you give some indication on how this could be done?

I've tried with socket and telnet, but both indicate that the AMIP hosting machine refuses the connection.

My setup:

[WIN]
AMIP Server:40581

[NIX]
Client access:
`telnet WIN 40581`
`socket WIN 40581`

Thanks

Hey again,

so i'm a little stuck trying to implement any kind of ClientService. I know that AMIP on my windows machine is properly transmitting commands and events, because when i run a socket tool, i get output:

CODE

[uplate@~/devel/src/narc/src]> socket -sl 60334
ClientServiceC//describe $active np: !!! - Heart Of Hearts [06:02m/320kbps/44kHz]

if i run a program to set up an event listener, i also see stuff appear when i hit play or pause in winamp, or send a play/pause command from my *nix box using MyService IDL.

however, when i try to run the following code i always get a core dump. it starts up fine, but then segfaults when i take any action in amip (play/pause/change song/etc...):

CODE

/*
* C++ headers
*/
#include <RCF/Idl.hpp>
#include <RCF/RcfServer.hpp>
#include <RCF/TcpEndpoint.hpp>
#include <iostream>

/* AMIP IDLs */
#include "amip/ClientService.hpp"

class NarcService
{
  public:
  void exec( std::string cmd )
  {
    std::cout << "Got exec" << std::endl;
  }
  void event( unsigned int code )
  {
    std::cout << "Got event" << std::endl;
  }
};

int main()
{
  NarcService narcService;
  RCF::RcfServer server(RCF::TcpEndpoint(60334));
  server.bind<ClientService>(narcService);
  server.startInThisThread();
  return 0;
}

then this occurs when i create an event from winamp or a MyService program:

CODE

[uplate@~/devel/src/narc/src]> ./narcserver
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./narcserver

here is the gdb backtrace:

i realize you do things a little differently in your code, with templating, threads, queues and stuff. that is a little advanced for me right now, so i'm trying to build my way up using the examples on the RCF website.


thanks,
