I have setup a Rebroadcast-server, with the IP-address of a friend of mine. My friend has installed VRS and has setup a receiver with my ip-address. We can see we are connected, as I am sending messages and het is receiving messsages.
We thought it would now be possible for my friend to see MY feed on HIS VRS-screen (mind you, he does NOT have a dongle and therefore NOT have a feed of his own!). However, when selecting the MENU, he does not get the option "RECEIVER" where he can select my feed (also; Options --> General--> Datafeed will not give the option to select a receiver). As a consequence, NO aircraft are visible on his map.
Is it maybe compulsory to have a OWN feed, in order to get the "RECEIVER" MENU working? Or am I missing something?
I realize that my friend could also just connect to my IP-adres over the internet to get my feed visible, but the idea is to get MY feed into HIS VRS and subsequently being able to show the aircraft of my feed with his ip-adres/port being used. Again, we both see that messages are being send and received, so the issue is lying somewhere else (if at all possible...).
First, check that your friend hasn't ticked "Hide from Website" or "Merge only" in the Receiver setup.
Second, you write that both sides has the other ones IP address. That is not how it should work (unless you are talking about "Access control", but disable that for start.
One side connects to the other sides IP address. The other side just waits and listens. Which one then sends the data is controlled by the "Push" box being ticked or not.
Check exactly how they are set up and post it here.
Thanks for the feedback. Meanwhile we managed to get it working by setting-up a merged feed at my friends VRS. By doing so, he was able to select the a receiver (basically a feed) in VRS when displaying the map.
