Struggling with Network Event Receiver

Post by pyrophoenix »

Hi everyone

This is my first attempt of EG and until now I find it quite awesome! Thank you for that great product!

I'm struggling to get a TCP message to trigger my EG.

I'm using EG 0.4.1.r1640 with Windows 7.

I have setup Network Event Receiver as simply possible. I can log on telnet (using putty) but there is no way I can get anything on EG log.

I've tried DSNER and still the same thing!

Set the port to 1024 - opened telnet (which stayed connected so the setting is correct - IP 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.xxx).

But nothing!

Firewall totally disable

What m'I missing????

I've tried the DSNER.

When I try any text I've got a error message as follow:

error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <eg.CorePluginModule.DSNER.ServerHandler connected 192.168.1.236:61266 at 0x4862210> (<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>:'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) [asyncore.pyc|read|76] [asyncore.pyc|handle_read_event|416] [asynchat.pyc|handle_read|158] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\DSNER\__init__.py|found_terminator|125] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\DSNER\__init__.py|state1|134] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\PluginBase.py|TriggerEvent|133] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\EventThread.py|TriggerEvent|78] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\EventGhostEvent.py|__init__|84])

What is that message about?

1) As far as I know, so Network Event Receiver plugin can not receive events from telnet.
It needs either Network Event Sender plugin or some other compatible application (for example terRemote for Android).
2) I did not know that DSNER plugin exists. However, I installed it and tried it.
It works exactly as described - it receives events from telnet. I've even been able to (at first attempt) to receive events from Android device (I used JuiceSSH app).
So I do not know what you're doing wrong.

Hi Pako!

Thank you for your reply! After uninstalling everything and build a fresh install everything was back in order. Don't know where the problem came from :/

Thank you anyway! ^^
