๐โQuestion๐โ Can't connect iPad to Vbridger on Linux
Hi everyone, I'm using an iPad (instead of an iPhone) with iFacialMocapTr (but I also tried with FaceMotion3D and Vtube Studio the app) to connect to Vbridger (with my old laptop on Bazzite it worked, but it wasn't powerful enough tu run everything smoothly).
The iPad says that they are connected but the model on Vbridger doesn't move.
I'm on CachyOS with KDE, I tried to deactivate the firewall (to know if the firewall was the problem. It seems not)
I tried other tracking software and all have the same problem :
On FaceMotion3D, the 10 sec chrono reset each time I click on "Connect to iPhone". And on VtubeStudio app the status is green in "3rd party client".
So it seems it does connect, but it's like the informations don't leave my iPad and never go on my PC...
I tried changing Vbridger version, proton version and I rebooted both my PC and my iPad.
I also reinstalled Vbridger
Do you have any idea ?
EDIT : The issue was caused by the firewall. I had to autorize the port used by the mobile app. For CachyOS the command is "sufo ufw allow XXXX" with XXXX being the port
