QUdpSocket does not trigger ReadyRead signal
-
@SGaist I already posted almost all of my code? What do you mean "show what you are doing?"
I am sending/recieving on same PC to test if I can so later I can implement it for different PC's. Since Im newbie I dont know much about event loops can you show some example?@onurcevik Can you show your main.cpp?
-
@onurcevik Can you show your main.cpp?
-
@onurcevik A loop with sleep() inside (before starting event loop) and you expect this to work? It will not. See what @SGaist wrote.

return a.exec();this starts the event loop. No need for threads. Use asynchronous nature of QUdpSocket instead. You should take a look at one of the example applications for networking.

@jsulm I deleted sleep and for loop it still did not work. I did take a look couple of examples even tried to run it. A pinpoint to what wrongs with my code would be really helpful. Since removing sleep and for did not work either.
Edit: I will switch to QWidget application and try to send through a button click.

Hi @onurcevik,
- On which platform are you?
- Which Qt version do you use?
- Do you have multiple network adapters in your computer?
Regards

- I am on Kubuntu
- I use Qt Creator 4.6.2 Based on Qt 5.11.1 (GCC 8.1.0, 64 bit)
- I only have 1 modem.
Can you please post the output of
ifconfig -a?It is likely that your packet is not even send out. You can check that with Wireshark.

That is the Creator version, not the Qt version I asked for.

That is the Qt version Creator is built with, which is not necessarily the version you are using to compile your program.
From you ifconfig I see, that there is only one physical interface., so bind should select the correct one.
Please check with wireshark that the packet is sent out.

Just for the sake of simplification, did you take a look at the examples linked in the QUdpSocket documentation ?
Thinking about:
Broadcast Sender
Broadcast Receiver
Multicast Sender
Multicast Receiver -

What exactly is the goal of your application ?
-
@SGaist I want to take pictures from camera then send and recieve them continuously in order to implement a real time video streaming application. The reason I am sending images instead of video is because I will later work on image processing. I realized that image size is too big for this which is 6404803 BYTES. But I also can't switch to TCP because I need the speed of UDP.

Ok,
I apologize to mother tongue people for my English, I know, it isn’t good
Anyway, If I have understood correctly there is a limit of 1Mb, but limit apart, to do this I always do:The server application
- Send a header with a fixed size and with the following information: a security key (to recognise a my flow), data size, …. and then send data
- You can get and save a pointer of data from QbyteArray by “data” function
- With a loop I send few pieces of data ( < 1Mb) by writeDatagram, it is easy, all you need to do you have to use an index to move on the data pointer
The client application:
- When it will receive your header and recognise it, it will know data size too
- read all data that will receive and reassemble the all image
For me UDP is a good choice.
I hope to help you.

How do you manage to "read all data" corresponding to "it will know data size" given that you're using UDP?
-
If you want to stream videos then you should follow the standards currently used to minimise bandwidth usage while keeping image quality.
As for video processing, you should give more information about what you want to do.

@JonB Ok,
you are right, I think to know what you want to say, all depend of kind of application you are doing.
You believe me, I done real-time application with UDP and they work well.
Ok, TCP is more safety but UDP is faster, I’m not game developer but as far as I know more games are based on UDP, because it is faster.
It's obvious, the client must check the integrity of data and discard the bad data, e.g by checksum.
I don’t know the goal of @onurcevik, but if a frame video is delayed or lost it will be discarded.
All depend if you want to prefer the speed or the quality of information therefore what the client application must do. -

You may well know more than I. But as I understand it UDP can happily lose any packets at the client, that's the point of it. By splitting your datagrams like you said if one does not arrive what happens at the client, it seems to me that protocol just won't work? Maybe in your "real-world" apps none get missed, I don't actually have experience, I am just interested/concerned. :)
