Need help with MMM-MQTTbridge not "communicating" with MMM-RTSPStream

@sdetweil because it doesn’t work on windows either this is most likely not a version but a command or URL thing …

just trying to figure out what the problem

Dear Sam,
I caught it …
The Windows command is not working for other reasons - doesn’t matter…
The curl on MY Pi doesn’t work because - for some strange reason the resolving of “localhost” doesn’t work ???

Figured this out by using another linux client (Macbook) and therefor using IP address of pi remotely - which worked instantly.

And trying this locally on Pi with IP adreees does the job as well.

Thanks again for your help!
Regards,
Ralf

@rkorell weird, it works on windows for me

i just copy/pasted from the repo and
changed the address and port at the end

i can do it on the same machine or across the network to other machines

@rkorell localhost is(always) mapped to 127.0.0.1 on the same system

which is called the loopback adapter, cause the packets never leave the system

ping localhost

should work

Yes. I’m aware of this, thanks.

ping localhost
should work

Yes, do work:

pi@MagicMirrorPi5:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CurlToNotification $ ping localhost
PING localhost(localhost (::1)) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from localhost (::1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms

@rkorell so, its a curl problem… weird…
but its using ipv6 (::1 is the ipv6 version of 127.0.0.1)

good catch!
THis may is the reason, because - as far as I. know - ipV6 isn’t implemented (properly?) in my network (at least I do not have anything configured. My AVM (Fritzbox) router is ipV6 aware but I do not “use” it esplicitely …

Strange!

@rkorell can you edit your /etc/hosts
to see how localhost is defined

on my amd host it is

127.0.0.1       localhost

on my pi it is

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

rkorell

@sdetweil Oh, yes - I remember …
interesting enough my /etc/hosts is likely the same as on your Pi - with ipV6 entries.
If I delete them, error remains :-(
