Hi,

I'm a new here and I hope someone can help me.
I got an complete "qlc-image" for raspberry and normally the webinterface should come up automaticly. - But I have no access to the <address>:9999 :-(
The system is working on a Raspberry 2B. I have access via ssh, so the network is ok! But I'm not sure, if I should start anything that I have access via browser.
I've tried to bake a new iamge on another CF card, but there I have the same issue...
Should I set the raspberry to fix address? In this moment it is working with DHCP?

Is there anybody who can help me?

Best regards
Jens

Hi Jens,

according to the documentation http://www.qlcplus.org/docs/webinterface.html the web interface needs to be enabled beforehand. Though I haven't used QLC+ on a Raspberry Pi yet, I could not say if this also applies to it. But maybe you can give a try starting qlcplus with the -w option using ssh.

Regards
Lukas

The web interface is enabled by default on the Raspberry Pi image.
Not sure why you can't access it.
Have you tried for simplicity to connect a PC to the RPi with a cross cable and see if it works ? Obviously you'd need to use static IP addresses on both ends.

Maybe you have a network device cutting traffic directed to port 9999 ?

Hello together,

Thank you for you fast reply!
I test everything you told me...but I have no access :-(
I test with static IP, crosslink cable, with different PC/MAC/iPad/iphone nothing :-( also in a different network, with other divices...
The qlcplus service is started!
What kind of web-Server should run?
Is there anything else, I can get access to qlcplus, without webclient? The qlcplus is only running on the graphic desktop?, or could I start the programm also with the command line? Jessi does not have the graphic desktop installed.
I have read the Guide a lot of times, maybe I`m not clever enough :-(
I baked the 3rd time the image (qlcplus_raspbian_jessie_20160529) on a different microSD...nothing...

HELP - PLEASE!

Jens

None. QLC+ has an integrated web server !

No, except for connecting a mouse, keybaord and a TV to the RPi itself.
The qlcplus is only running on the graphic desktop?, or could I start the programm also with the command line? Jessi does not have the graphic desktop installed.
What does this mean ? There is no "graphic desktop" in the official image. QLC+ runs directly on the OpenGL driver.

Let's take a step back. Do you see QLC+ on your TV when you power up the Pi ? If you don't, then the image is corrupted or you're not telling us all the details required to understand what's going on.

Hello,
Sorry, I do not know, how it should looks like.
But if I start with a Monitor and keyboard and a mouse, only a standard tty1 is coming up!
No QLC... :-(
What I can check now?

I still suspect there's something wrong with the SD card and the image is corrupted.

From a console, do this:

Code: Select all

sudo service qlcplus stop
qlcplus
It should definitely bring QLC+ up and you should see it on the TV.
If you see errors on the console terminal, then the image is corrupted.

Hi,
ok, it is possible to stop the service, but if I type qlcplus i got the messages "Illegal instruction"

That's the typical message of QLC+/Qt running on the wrong platform.
Are you sure you're using a Raspberry Pi 2 ?
Are you sure the image is OK (did you check the MD5 ?) and that you haven't done any modifications to it ?

....shame on me. I'm really very sorry that I have annoyed you. It was the Raspbery... :cry: I was very very sure that I used a R2B.. but is was a R B+ V1.2
Because of te 4 USB Ports and the HDMI Port I was sure it was an R2B....sorry sorry sorry...
R3b is ordered and arrived today... :? :? :?

That's OK.
In any case the next image will run on all the 4 RPi models
