[Jack-Devel] Looking for help setting up NetJack over WLAN from a Windoze box

by jack-devel＠malikc.neomailbox.net

Hi all, I'm running into issues with a project that uses JACK and would appreciate help or pointers therewith. The basic premise is as follows: I want to use JACK to transfer audio from a _Windows slave_ to a _Linux master_. I've been using the latest JACK distro I could find (1.9.10). I've successfully got it to run using NetJack2 (with `jack_load netmanager` on the master and `jackd -d net` on the slave). It works great... ...But it only works great over Ethernet. And I'd very much like it to work over WLAN, which it doesn't. Over wireless, the sound is completely garbled. AFAICT, it's a network issue. I've tried to tinker with the options to get it to work better (say, at the cost of latency), but with no success. If anyone has pointers has to how to improve the setup with NetJack2 in order for it to work over WLAN, they would be greatly appreciated. That being said, reading the doc and looking around the web for info suggests it might very well be the case that NetJack2 simply isn't suited for WLAN transport. Indeed, some resources indicate that NetJack1 would be more adapted. Trouble with that, then, is that, at least in the distro I got, NetJack1 doesn't work on Windows. Trying to start it yields the following error: netjack_poll not implemented , after which the program exits. I've seen a thread (I believe on this list) indicating that at least some people were aware of the issue, although no solution was provided. Given that that thread was a bit old, and assuming the above conclusion -- that NetJack2 isn't suited to wireless -- is correct, I guess my question boils down to: Can anyone tell me how I can get NetJack1 work on Windows? Many thanks in advance, although will have some left for later, mc.

[Jack-Devel] The documentation for jack_transport_t::bbt_offset

by Kjetil Matheussen

Hi, The documentation for the 'bbt_offset' field needs a cleanup, IMHO: "frame offset for the BBT fields (the given bar, beat, and tick values actually refer to a time frame_offset frames before the start of the cycle), should be assumed to be 0 if JackBBTFrameOffset is not set. If JackBBTFrameOffset is set and this value is zero, the BBT time refers to the first frame of this cycle. If the value is positive, the BBT time refers to a frame that many frames before the start of the cycle. " Since I don't know what the field does (just trying to understand the API), I'm probably not the best person to do that.
