Hi,
I think I reported some problems with WeatherCat RCP previously, and I've just noticed some fragility once again. with WeatherCat supporting the WeatherCatRCP app.
For some considerable time, I'd been using WeatherCatRCP iOS app quite successfully (at least in my limited way) typically just looking at the channels or the reports.
I've recently had my internet upgraded and the use of a new router which meant I needed to set up my port forwards again (and as I have a a few machines acting as servers and multiple public IPs - this has not been entirely trivial). When testing WeatherCat clients, the standard WeatherCat Mac client (v2 ...) was working as was the "Classic" IOS app, but I couldn't get the RCP App to work. This applied both within my network as well as externally and therefore not just an issue with any miss configuration of port forwarding or router firewall.
Further investigation using some networking tools showed that the WeatherCat Rich Client Protocol Server was not being advertised on Bonjour (_wcrcps._tcp) although the standard WeatherCat Weather Data Server (_wcwds._tcp) was being advertised.
This was consistent with the fact that I couldn't get any response from "
http://hostname:49255/help" either locally or from any other machine.
WeatherCat has been restarted a few times in the last few days but obviously the bit that provides the server has not been working properly. Another restart made it operate and WeatherCat RCP IOS app now works.
However, .... and I think I've reported this before some functions of the app seem to cause the WeatherCat server programme itself to instantly crash - for example, these include the graphs.
