udpxy update

[Marsi4eg]

Is it possible to include a newer build of udpxy to the next firmware build? (N16)

udpxy Build 19 was builded in 2011 and a lot of bugs were fixed since version 19

The newest build is 23-8 for now

P.S
Maybe someone has compiled a newer build to put it into jffs folder and launch with a script?

Most likely not, as I have no way of testing if it's working properly, so there is no way for me to be sure that it won't introduce compatibility issues with the rest of the FW.

If you need a new udpxy you may build it on your own. udpxy can be easily built without any modification. I've just added udpxy 1.0.23 into my RT-AC66U firmware with no problem. So, it's possible. Then, of course, you'll have to test it. If the new executable works as planned you'll stick with it. If not, you'll roll back to the old one.

But how about to include it into experimental builds for the first time?

I've tried to compile both builds from official udpxy website (arm and x86) but they doesn't launch

Could you please upload your 1.0.23 compiled and working build somewhere?

What both builds? All you need is the udpxy source code and ASUS toolchain. It's obvious that the arm and x86 binaries won't work on mipsel hardware.

The problem is such a component is used by a very small fraction of the user base. And people downloading experimental builds are also a very small fraction of the total downloads. So I suspect that I would get next to no feedback on this, unless there was a specific issue that people were experimenting with the current version, which could be resolved with the newer one. Is that the case for you?

I'm always very wary about updating internal components. The Busybox update took me weeks to stabilize, at which point I swore I'd be even more picky in this regard.

 

[Marsi4eg]

Is that the case for you?

Mostly not, it works fine but it floods into log with some 'broken pipe' errors which are not errors in fact but just runtime service messages... and that was fixed.

Also it has many stability fixes for cases when more than one device is connected, decreases tcp connection delays etc.

So nothing critical but just good to have it updated

But if it's really hard to make... I'm not insisting

Many thanks go to Kobold
He compiled the new udpxy (23-9) and we have tested how it works on RT-N16 and N66 - no problems with udpxy or any other services!

You can't write to the flash, it's read-only.

Copy it to the JFFS partition, then mount it on top of the flash version:

mount -o bind /jffs/udpxy /usr/sbin/udpxy

I don't know however if that 18xx beta has the newer version. The code I have that contains the new version is 2345.

can you import this new version udpxy to your firmware? but if you got 2345 code i think it is new version there....380.58 alpha_3 still have older version....we will see....i will wait for your next public release..

I can say that I use the last udpxy build (1.0.23) via jffs on my N16 and AC66 routers 24/7 for more than two years and no single bug was detected! It's used by some people from WAN side, it's used by STB device connected via old-old DIR320 A1 in AP mode, (it drops multicast and it's unfixable). Also it's a Smart TV over Wifi and mobile phones.
But udpxy needs too much resource (N16 shows 100% cpu with more than 2 HD channels at the same time, and AC66U - somewhere near 5 HD channels), looking forward if I could compile Astra for these models
