SoapySDR remote server not supported?

[Akito01]

I've been trying to get welle.io 2.2 for Windows to work with SoapySDR but I came to realize that there's no remote setting. I'm running SoapySDRServer on a remote computer with an Airspy. Will it be possible to use this in Windows soon remotely? Just like rtl-tcp, but instead SoapySDRServer.

Have you tried connecting to it using SoapySDRUtil.exe --make=driver=remote ...? Not sure about the address syntax for this. But if this works, it should work in Welle-IO too.

I hadn't tried that, but now I have... though Welle-IO throws: Error while opening device. I have SoapySDRServer running like: SoapySDRServer --bind="0.0.0.0:1234" on my remote Linux machine.

On my Windows machine running: soapysdrutil --find="remote=tcp://192.168.2.2:1234" I see this:

Found device 4
  driver = remote
  label = AirSpy One [myserial]
  remote = tcp://192.168.2.2:1234
  remote:driver = airspy
  serial = myserial

And SoapySDRServer shows an accept and close for the connection. So there is connectivity. In Welle-IO I have chosen SoapySDR and a driver setting like: driver=remote,remote=tcp://192.168.2.2:1234

Running GQRX that came with the Pothos package on Windows it immediatly finds the SoapySDRServer remotely and runs fine.

Honestly, I never tested SoapySDR remote and I never tested SoapySDR under Windows at all. Generally, it should work because SoapySDR tries to be generic. But I know from the Soapy support from other hardware that peoples submitted patches to get it work.
