Direct Preview in unity not working - help

[shashkes]

I'm following the documentation. trying to find my device IP with adb shell ifconfig  I get the long message bellow. is my device ip 127.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.245?

i tried both, built a new apk each time to the headset, then started sever, a window pops up for a second and closes, then I start device apk and a message "connecting..."  and timeout error

do i need to disable windows firewall or something?

i've also tried ip config and put in the two ipv4 different addresses

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::6992:5893:3ac1:c2b2%5

@shashkes From your PC, could you try to ping the ip address from Command Prompt?

To know your device's ip address, use below command,

> adb shell ip addr show wlan0

From your message above, I think your device ip address will be "10.0.0.245"

[shashkes]

Thanks... some progress... the headset is now controlling the view in unity... when i move it the view moves but inside the headset its total black screen

[chengnay]

@shashkes First, when you start streaming server, you need to ensure that the command prompt window is waiting on your desktop.

If the server failed to wait, the command prompt window will disappear.

Next, after start the device apk, you need to check that in Focus, it is waiting for connection.

NOTE: if it fails the first try, repeat the steps again by stop device apk and stop streaming server and re-start them again

I stopped the build and the server and started again just to get the time out error again. but even when its timed out the device controls the unity view. is there a way to see if the server is running. the cmd window immediately closes when i run the server from unity. can i run it manually instead of from unity?

 

[shashkes]

I think the timeout error just appeared behind my head so I thought it was a black screen ...  

[chengnay]

@shashkes It seems your server does not run.

You can manually run the server by going to "Assets\WaveVR\Platform\Windows" and launch "dpServer.exe"

UPDATE: Yes, the wording will appear to the front of your HMD but it will not follow your HMD, so you need to look around inside XD

[shashkes]

I'm pretty sure the dpserver.exe isn't launching the server the command prompt flickers on for a second and then closes even when i try running it directly from the file system. Any ideas why?

@shashkes Please try running directly from command prompt and paste the result here, thanks!
