Direct Preview WiFi Issues

[Edict]

Let me start with something positive: I am able to connect the Focus 3 with the direct preview server.
The problem is that it stays at "Connecting...".

 

I keep getting an error in the direct preview log on the focus 3: ERROR streaming] [rrClient]OnVideoData() packet NULL pooIdx:-1

I am using the newest wave plugin version but I've also tried it with 4.3
I am using Unity 2019.4.12f1
I have an Nvidia Geforce 1080 & 2 screens
My coworker used the same steps and gets exactly the same result.

I've documented every step I took:

1. install visual studio code

2. install the adb file manager plugin and follow the tutorial to setup the plugin

3. on your physical focus 3 device: stick something to the sensor right in the upper middle of the glasses so it won’t turn off while being connected to the computer or executing adb commands

4. turn the Focus3 on

5. connect the device to your computer

6. make sure you’ve set up the environmental variable for adb

7. open the command line

8. type “adb tcpip 5555” (without “”) to start adb in network mode

9. type “adb shell ip addr show wlan0”

10. copy the ip displayed there. This is your focus 3 device ip which we will connect to

11. type “adb connect INSERT-COPIED-IP” where INSERT_COPIED_IP = your copied ip

12. unplug the USB cable from the focus 3

13. open your unity project

14. open the direct preview window through Wave -> DirectPreview

15. set the connection type to Wi-Fi. USB does not work (some people say it only works through normal USB but I am using USB-C which did not work)

16. in Device Wi-Fi IP type in the ip address that you copied before

17. set the render target device to FOCUS+

18. the default port that is being listened to is 6555. So open your router settings. If you’re using a fritz, the website is fritz.box

19. go to your port forwarding settings and open the port 6555 for TCP & UDP

20. open your advanced firewall settings

21. add an inbound rule for the port 6555 as TCP and another one for UDP. You can call them as you like

22. open visual studio code

23. if you’ve set up the adb file manager plugin correctly you should see Android Device Files under the explorer tab. Go to the DirectPreview folder and open config.json

24. Inside IP remove the IP address. This will by default be set to your local IP address but it is not possible to connect to local IP addresses through the direct preview

25. go to the website https://www.whatismyip.com/de/

26. copy the IP address that is shown there for you computer

27. back in visual studio: paste the IP address that you just copied into the IP property. Do not forget to keep the “”

28. save the file

29. go back to the unity direct preview window and click on Start streaming server

30. click on install device APK and wait until it was installed (several windows open and close)

31. make sure your focus 3 is on and click on Start Device APK

32. your focus 3 will now connect to your server. You can check if it worked by looking at the terminal that was opened. If it’s printing new messages then the focus 3 is connected

33. to further check if there are any errors inside the focus 3: go to visual studio code and open the DirectPreview log 

34. hit play in the unity editor

Problems:

ERROR streaming] [rrClient]OnVideoData() packet NULL pooIdx:-1

On my end it seems like the focus3 is not able to connect to my GPU.

I have same issue with direct preview  In the log I can see some activity beforehand showing that it is talking to my PC, but I ultimately end up with the same packet NULL error that you are seeing.
