Created attachment 187 Mail from R. Oostenveld When running rda2ft.exe (with the parameters localhost and 51244) it throws an error: "Unrecognized packet type (10000), has size 24 - exiting" Connection seems to work, so I assume that the streaming of data is also not a problem. However, this error results in the rda2ft.exe to stop. Thus I would like to change line 357 from "keepRunning = 0;" to "keepRunning = 1;" I've tried compiling it myself, but after installing vC++ and friends I still don't get matlab to correctly compile the file. As such, I would like to ask for help this way, and possibly contribute to Fieldtrip. Included is the mail sent from R. Oostenveld.

Dear Casper, Thank you for filing this bug report. Since this bug manifests in a live environment that includes specific hardware, I think it is best to setup a meeting. I'll send a separate email with details. Best regards, Boris Reuderink

Today we collected data and confirmed the bug. Ignoring unknown packet types (keepRunning = 1 as suggested by Robert) did indeed work, but did not solve the problem completely.

Added time estimate.


Boris Reuderink - 2012-02-24 12:26:19 +0100

I committed a fix, see http://code.google.com/p/fieldtrip/source/detail?r=5316# . Note that the binaries were not updated yet, as I will recompile all the binaries in one pass (see #1234).


Boris Reuderink - 2012-02-29 14:27:58 +0100

@Casper, I have committed a new executable [1]. Could you verify that it indeed works, and tell me if that solves your problem? Best, Boris [1] http://code.google.com/p/fieldtrip/source/detail?r=5324


Boris Reuderink - 2012-03-21 15:22:54 +0100

External verification is merged with bug 1364. I mark this bug as RESOLVED:FIXED.


Casper van Heck - 2012-04-02 16:19:16 +0200

To follow-up: we have since then moved to a different setup, which circumvents the problem. If we have the time, we'll rebuild the original setup, and test the new executable.


Casper van Heck - 2012-05-14 13:27:33 +0200

We are no longer able to build the setup as it was at the time, so we have no way of testing this.

Changed my resolved bugs to closed.
