HTTP request

Postby videodsh » Sat Jun 16, 2018 4:14 pm

Hi,
I am trying to remote control an raspberry pi running PocketVJ.
I am trying with an http request.
I can reach the pi’s Webserver and remotely start and stop playback.
However it worked in WD 4.7, but is not working on 6.0.4
The command is:wdhttprequest(„http://pocketvj-100.local/?action=startseamless01“)

As far as I understand I don’t have to establish an tcp connection in the connection Manager, right?
In my network confit I did not enter a gateway address, as I don’t use one.
To me it seems like the request does not leave the WidgetDesigner

Any ideas, anyone?

Hello,

does pocketvj-100.local resolve to an ip address on your machine? It's rather unusual for windows machines to resolve .local addresses. Try using the ip.

Hey Dennis,
I tried both. A.local and the real IP address. Doesn’t work either.
Is there a way to control outgoing traffic from WD?

I am just trying to figure out how you made upside down quotation marks like that...

Make sure you don't have a bug in your code anywhere in the whole button or macro. The new way of compiling scripts have screwed me up a few times because I will have an error somewhere else in the programming that will cause the whole thing not to run. Old WD would just skip those lines, but new WD refuses the entire thing.

Hey,

Thank you guys for helping.
The quotation marks are ok in my Project ( in german they are upsidedown at the beginning and I didn’t copy/paste directly from WD)
So spelling is ok, but is syntax as well?
No firewall enabled, BUT no gateway or DNS either.
Can that cause a problem?
