I've found that after receiving several hundred MB of data using Recv(), it will eventually fails with the error "EAGAIN".

But according to the autodocs:
"If no messages are available at the socket, the receive call waits for a message to arrive, unless the socket is nonblocking (see IoctlSocket()) in which case the value -1 is returned and the external variable errno set to EAGAIN."
(This is basically repeating what's said at https://linux.die.net/man/2/recvmsg )

And no, I never enable "FIONBIO" (non-blocking mode) !


I thought this was a Roadshow bug, but it seems that once EAGAIN occurs, calling Recv() again doesn't help (as fails again).

Could this be a network driver bug (or network card issue), rather than a bug in my code? (I can't see where I could be at fault.)

@cloverskull
E-UAE's support for mounting the host's filing system is known to be a bit buggy.

I suggest creating & mounting a virtual hard disk partition, which you then format & use from inside E-UAE. Should be faster & much more reliable.

@Elwood
PortablE has had TCP/IP support for years (but only for AmigaOS4)...

Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write this:

Your code (probably) answers my next question, which would have been:

Quote:

Although I suppose if you were being really picky, you'd interate through all the Network Interfaces until you got an IP Address. (I'm assuming QueryInterfaceTagList() will fail if the network interface has no IP address - I guess you'd need to test that as well. edit: Seems that ObtainInterfaceList() returns an empty list in that case.)

@broadblues
Thanks, that was it :) . I was in a hurry, so didn't see that hidden at the bottom.

I'm not sure why anyone would call a return value "success" when True means failure & False means success. IMHO it would make much more sense to call it "error" or "failure"...

@all
It looks like I can get the necessary network interface name using ObtainInterfaceList()...

@broadblues
Thanks, that will probably save me a few crashes...
...but QueryInterfaceTagList() is returning False when I try to use it, so I think I must still be missing something.

Do I need to initialise the struct sockaddr? (But I tried a 'live' sockaddr, without luck.)

@rwo
Thanks! QueryInterfaceTags() seems to be what I need... although it's rather poorly documented, so going to take me some time to work out how I'm supposed to use it. (e.g. "name -- Name of the interface to be queried" What "interface"? And how do I find it's name?!? e.g. "IFQ_Address (struct sockaddr *)" but how do I pass that parameter & get the return value as a tag list - using the same single data value?)

Can anyone give hints on a simple way to find my Amiga's local IP address?

So far I only managed to get 127.0.0.1, which isn't very helpful! Other non-Amiga networking guides suggest getifaddrs() & other things which Roadshow doesn't have :(

NOTE: Since it doesn't seem clear I posted this in the Developer forum,
I am wanting to achieve this with code.

Please do NOT discuss "whdload-to-uae" in this thread, as it's TOTALLY off-topic

OK, this looks like an actual on-topic comment, but provides so little info that I can't actually make use of it.

What kind of audio problems?

@all
Please don't post in this thread if you not testing the latest beta version of RunInUAE (I can see that "white" was using a really old version, at least initially).

If it was up to me, I would delete most of the off-topic comments here :( (or better move them to their own thread).

@K-L
That doesn't answer my question :)

@pjs
Where is it possible to download (beta) SFTP from?

@pseudaxos
What resolution do you use for UAE? 640x480 or something lower?
(This is the one thing which might make a big difference for AmiGfx vs SDL.)

You can check from RunInUAE's menu: Shared settings > Set default screen size to.

Sounds like placebo effect... UAE makes no significant HD access, so HD won't make any difference.

@pseudaxos
Thanks. Confusing that is the exact opposite of what someone else reported:
http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... id=110263#forumpost110263

But it is in line with my previous experiences when I used an underpowered Sam440.

I hope a few more people can report their experiences on Sam460 (and slower hardware).

@nubechecorre
The AmiGfx version on OS4Depot is definitely NOT the SDL version (I just checked the executables) :

P.S. This is the same as was used in previous RunInUAE r8 betas.

@ScarFez
It's called a Blizzard/Cyberstorm PPC card

@all
Beta 6 has now been released. Please test!
(See first post for more info)

@nubechecorre
My bad. Forgot to replace references to "amigfx" with "sdl". I will fix this.
But if it reinstalled E-UAE for you, then you now have the SDL version.

However, my installer script wasn't properly checking for a different E-UAE version, so it may not have asked for you to reinstall E-UAE. I will fix this.

Next beta of RunInUAE coming soon...
