Netplay problem with Macbook Pro
Hello everyone, for a few months I have a problem of Netplay with retroarch. The upnp of my internet box is activated and the ports are triggered. The network configuration of my retroarch is the same (and it worked before). On the other hand, since the update of retroarch, each time I launch a network game, I have the message "Netplay Upnp port mapping failed". The same configuration under Windows 11 works, but on MacBook it does not work. Can anyone help me?
- RetroArch: 1.11.0
- OS: Catalina 10.15 and more
@Cthulhu-throwaway Just pinging you since this is networking-related.
Can you try running the MiniUPnP standalone client and see if that works? http://miniupnp.free.fr/files/
If you've both UPnP enabled and the TCP port manually forwarded, some router devices will return an error when trying to open a port already manually forwarded. Either use UPnP or manually forward the port, not both.
I desactivate manually forward port, i use only UPnP in my router device. I've installed miniupnp on my MacBook, i've installed retroarch port with the command line. With the info, i have : sudo port info retroarch retroarch @1.10.2 (emulators, games)

But always "Netplay Upnp port mapping failed" when i try on Mac. On Windows it's good.
My retroarch version is 1.11.0
@floballesta Does 1.10.3 still work fine for you with regards to netplay?
@LibretroAdmin no, it doesn't work. It works until version 1.9 Since version 1.10, i have this UPnP problem on Mac. Whatever le version of IOS (Catalina, Big Sur or Monterey) i have the same problem.
Can you tell us what the exact last version was that still worked? The last version of 1.9.x was 1.9.14. So I'd like to narrow this down further.
OK, so that leaves the question of when this issue started happening - between 1.9.9 and 19.14. Can you please go through the effort of going through these versions and figuring out which point this started happening?
Hi, i return to you with some informations. I test the version 1.9.0 on Mac Monterey and the NetPlay works fine ! But with the version 1.11.0 on Monterey, Netplay doesn't works, and on Windows 11 it doesn't works too. I don't understand.
Netplay between my MacBook and iPhone worked for me a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure whatever was causing this has been fixed.
