I compiled the current version and works fine as a client. Am using a wifi dongle hotspot on the server box for the 705 to connect to. usb headset is the default audio.
no luck on setting up the server function, though. There are no options in the dropdowns for server audio and I can only assume I have missed a step in the setup. A loopback device?
Remote client gets the wf ok.

Hi Ross,
Try changing the audio back end to one of the other three choices. This is currently done under the “Radio Access” portion of the settings, but it actually does change the back-end for the server too. The back-end change happens right away.

tnx Elliot, I have tried that with no luck so far. Does the client need to be using the same backend?
Hi Ross,
The client need not use the same back-end. Use whatever works best at each side.
Check your log file, we log a lot of audio information. /tmp/wfview.log.

Here is the log of starting the server and then logging in from a win7 client.
linux audio is a dark art to me…

Hi Ross.
That log looks like you are connecting to the IC705 via WiFi and then attempting to use the wfview server to re-share it?
This isn’t (currently) supported, the wfview server only supports USB connected rigs (as there is functionally very little difference between the wfview server and the server built-in to the IC705)

Ah, ok, thanks Phil and Elliot, that makes sense. My apologies, I think I knew that once.
In any event, the Ubuntu clent does work very well. Good work!
Ross
