Disconnect reversed connection (i.e. mjpeg) should work like normal connections

[randaz81]

The following command:

yarp disconnect /a /b

seems to have no effect on a mjpeg connection. @vtikha @drdanz @barbalberto

mjpeg connection is reversed. Try

yarp disconnect /b /a

[drdanz]

@randaz81 This is a known behaviour, but I cannot find documentation about it.

This is an issue that deserves to be investigated, because in the long term, I would like to be able to close it properly.

yarpdev --device test_grabber

yarpview --name /view

yarp connect /grabber /view mjpeg

yarp admin rpc /grabber
>>list out
Response: null
>>list out null
Response: (from "/grabber") (to null) (carrier mjpeg) (push 0)

yarp admin rpc /view
>>list in
Response: "/grabber" anon_rpc
>>list in /grabber
Response: (from "/grabber") (to "/view") (carrier mjpeg) (push 0)

yarpview --name /view2

yarp connect /grabber /view2 mjpeg

yarp admin rpc /grabber
>>list out
Response: null null
>>list out null
Response: (from "/grabber") (to null) (carrier mjpeg) (push 0) (from "/grabber") (to null) (carrier mjpeg) (push 0)

So even if we could change the disconnect for reversed connections, at the moment the sender does not have the information required to perform it
