How to configure a simple local sdrangel server/client combination?

[gvimlag]

I'm trying to configure a simple local sdrangel server/client combination using a Raspberry Pi server and an X86/Debian client.
Unfortunately, I can't get a connection between the client and server (Client device window message is always: "Not connected").

Configuration:
<Both sdrangel client and server compiled from source following "https://github.com/f4exb/sdrangel/wiki/Compile-from-source-in-Linux">

SDR Device:
SDRplay RSP1A connected to Raspberry Pi 4B server

sdrangel Server:

    Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB RAM
    full 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS

sdrangel Client:

    X86_64 with 8GB RAM
    Debian 11.7 64-bit OS

On the Raspberry Pi server:
/opt/install/sdrangel/bin/sdrangelsrv #using all defaults

On the x86_64 client:

  /opt/install/sdrangel/bin/sdrangel   #using all defaults
    Add Rx device->RemoteTCPInput
      IP: <IP address of Raspberry Pi> : 1234    #default port address
  Device window message: "Not connected"

I've searched the documentation:

  https://github.com/f4exb/sdrangel/wiki/SDRangel-server
  https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=%22sdrangel%22+%22server%22#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:f67fe033,vid:sKiEvA1nejc,st:0

I verified that the SDRplay RSP1A device is recognized by the server:

  sdrangelsrv --list-devices
    Available devices:
    HWType: AudioInput Serial: 0
    HWType: SDRplayV3 Serial: <serial number>

I've tried forcing the server to use the SDRplay hardware:
sdrangelsrv --remote-tcp-hwtype SDRplayV3

I've tried different ports in RemoteTCPInput: 1234, 8091, 9091, etc.

I verified that the web interface connects using a web browser:
http://127.0.0.1:8091 #Developer information

I've disabled the firewall: no difference.

But I can't get the client to connect to the server:
Client device window message: "Not connected"

How do I configure a simple local sdrangel server/client combination?

You need the --remote-tcp option to sdrangelsrv to tell it to start the Remote TCP Input Sink.

(You'll also need the --remote-tcp-hwtype SDRplayV3 options and possibly the --remote-tcp-address as well)

See: #1809

Hello srcejon,
Thank you for the information.
With it, I was able to get the server functioning (but with some bugs -- I'll get back to you on those).

I see that last week you added 4 useful options to the server. Good job.

Is there a "quick-start" guide showing how to configure the sdrangel server?
(Some examples of common configurations would be helpful to the new user.)

Thank you.

I'm using sdrdaemon in raspberry pi and me too having no luck in connecting to it.

I want to compile only the sdrangelsrv for rpi.. how can i do that?

compiling all sdrangel git is insane on a rpi3... it takes weeks

I want to compile only the sdrangelsrv for rpi.. how can i do that?

cmake -DBUILD_GUI=OFF -DBUILD_SERVER=ON ..

Thank you for quick answer. For me to learn, and not asking anymore, in future, where i can find all this compile-time parameters?

I've done it, thank you, although its compiling qt5 stuff... i guess its required
