    @XPloRR Hi. Perhaps this is because access is denied to non-Kiwi applications.

    Number of simultaneous channels available for connection by non-Kiwi apps ==> none

  • XPloRRXPloRR

    Ok sounds plausible, but how should QiwiQ present itself then as a Kiwi app (since basically that is the purpose of QiwiQ)?

  • studentkrastudentkra

    I don't know how this happens. Perhaps the server receives information from the client using JS navigator.userAgent.

    So I was wrong about the "too_busy=N" message (I can't remember how this stuff works anymore without looking at the code). "N" in this case is a count of the number of available channels. But N is context dependent.

    In the case of a non-Kiwi app connecting @studentkra is correct that this will be count of the non-Kiwi UI channels the admin has configured. Which may be different from the actual number of free channels available to regular connections using the Kiwi UI. A lot of people clamp down on non-Kiwi apps due to the number of bot connections they see. Either allowing zero non-Kiwi channels or only a small number. Note there is bot identification/filtering on top of this restriction.

    So the question of how to flag QiwiQ as a valid connection, compared to the bots, is reasonable. I don't have a good answer currently. Probably some sort of public key identification scheme is needed. But can you imagine the hassle in implementing that. I don't have the time and a large part of the community doesn't stay updated to the latest release anyway, so wouldn't get any potential fix.

    Update: I found the solution to be accepted as real Kiwi-app ...

    [jks: Edited to remove explanation of how to bypass some of the bot countermeasures. We don't know who's reading here do we?]

    Hi All


    I am an app challenged KIWI owner !

    I downloaded your cool app and I like the interface for my phone.

    I accessed a few kiwis and got the hang of it.

    But when I logged into my Kiwi here on the island....I cannot get into the radio No audio,lights are on but no one is home.



    OK,UPDATE...I HAD TWO RCV CHANNELS with users .I only allowed 2 public non password.


    I logged out of my PC on the kiwi.


    Got in ok this time with the app..but no audio .Waterfall is active,and squelch at 0 and volume at 52%.

    So,I guess I'm still missing something?

    @jks you are right to correct me. Excuse me, It was my mistake. I understand the purpose.

    @NU6F can you send me your server address so I will have a (debugging) look at it.

    ps. I am currently testing a new version to support legacy servers (version <= 1.690). Could be the reason. Let me have a look.

    Update: if this is your server: http://22561.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/?f=10Mamnz10

    I found your version is 1.822 and I have no problem receiving audio on your server.

  • studentkrastudentkra

    @XPloRR , I temporarily allowed Non-Kiwi devices connections a few hours ago. You can check it. Software version 1.633.

  • XPloRRXPloRR

    @studentkra thank you. But I was testing with a new version that should present QiwiQ as a "real Kiwi app". Could you disable it again so I can test?

    Yes. One moment.

    Done.

    studentkra I just found a free slot and the stream continues. Can you check the log for a frequency of 198kHz and check if you get a "API: decided connection is OKAY" (or something) at around 13:10 UTC?

  • studentkrastudentkra

    I can not see any connections betwen 13:07 ~ 13:14 UTC

  • XPloRRXPloRR

    Can you give me your server address again, to make sure we talk the same server?

    Sorry my mistake, was testing with another server.

    Can you check the log for a frequency of 198kHz and check if you get a "API: decided connection is OKAY" (or something) at around 14:22 UTC?
