[AG-TECH] BridgeServer and other problems....

[Doiron, Andre]

Hi,

            I was also trying to get the Bridge to work yesterday... I
finally figured out how to make it work just now. The configuration you
posted isn't quite right. Here is what I used, and it worked like a charm.

 

[BridgeServer]

qbexec = /usr/bin/QuickBridge

name = some_name

location = here

[https://<address>:<port>/Venues/default]

type = Venue

 

This is for a single Venue, if you want for a server

Put VenueServer as the type, and of course put the correct url.

 

I had to look into the code to get this working. If you want to see for
yourself it's in the LoadConfig function in the BridgeServer class

Even the examples at the end of the code aren't correct; they don't use the
correct capitalization.
