LSL connection between Windows and Ubuntu about labstreaminglayer HOT 3 CLOSED

Did you try

?

Also, we have a new 1.16 version of liblsl that we hope to release soon that fixes a couple networking issues. Based on your description and your edit, I'm doubtful they would help in your case but they are worth trying. I've attached the binaries.

build-ubuntu-18.04.zip

The cause may be unrelated, but I know of a lab that has having almost an identical issue at the moment. I tried replacing lsl.dll with the 1.16 version and it still didn't work. I am convinced it was a network configuration issue, though. In their case, the had 2 Windows machines and 1 OSX. Only one of the Windows machines was having this issue (pings are fine, but LSL streams can be received but not sent).

In their case the faulty Windows machine was connected to the internet via wifi, but had no Local Area Network. I believe this was the problem, but I am not yet sure. I would check Network and Sharing Center. Your laptops should be connected to a LAN.

Hi, thank you both!
I’m happy to say that it was not necessary to update lsl but the solution proposed by @cboulay worked perfectly!
For anyone that will have the same problem the stream is correctly read by putting a configuration file in the receiving laptop with the ip address of the streaming laptop in the KnownPeers field (just putting the sessionID for me didn’t work).
Thank you again!
