#63 Android VMPK with wireless midi
Not necessarily a bug request... is the above possible? I am trying to connect vmpk on an android tablet to my Windows 10 pc. I have loop midi and ipmidi installed on my pc. I can get vmpk on my pc routed to a virtual instrument on my pc but I cannot get my android tablet wirelessly routed to the virtual midi instrument on my pc. Is there a clear/detailed walkthrough available somewhere or is this not possible? Thanks!
Yes, it is possible. But fist you should read this: [MIDI%20by%20Network]

Read that. Does not help. Have XXXX and other connections working no problem. This did not.

Then you need to make some effort and try to diagnose your problem. I can only help if you share detailed observations and detailed descriptions about what you do and what does not work, which are none at this moment. Saying that you use XXXX does not help, because I don't know that application (and if it is a commercial thing, I have no intention to buy it) . On the other hand, if you tell me that you installed qmidictl in your Android device and it works, that would be helpful.
Sorry for delay. Back at my desk. Appreciate the help. On my Android tablet I have VMPK running with midi out set to ipMidi. The port is 21928 and the multicast address is 225.0.0.37. On my Win10 PC I am running the IPmidi with VMPK midi setup having enable midi input checked, midi in set to Network, input port is 21928 . I also have enable midi through checked with midi out driver set to loopMidi. I have a virtual instrument running on the PC with midi in set to ethernet and loop midi. When I play a key on the win10 vmpk it registers in the virtual instrument. When I play a key on the Android VMPK, nothing. I have also tried routing through midi-ox to see if any signal is coming in through ipMidi but nothing. Did I configure something wrong? Are there log files somewhere? Again, appreciate any help.
To diagnose the problem is better to keep the things to the bare minimum. For instance, avoid running in your Windows PC loopMidi and ipMidi drivers and a virtual instrument, because VMPK for Windows alone is able to receive network MIDI packets and output to the windows synthesizer. You may add later those things once the communications are working.
You ask for logs. The Android logs are available if you enable developer settings on Android, using AndroidStudio or the command line utilities 'logcat' and 'adb' in your computer. To see communications logs on Windows OS, you may use wireshark.
By the way: you don't say how are you connecting your Android device and your computer. Please verify that you are connecting to Wi-Fi instead of your mobile provider data plan. And also verify that your Windows computer is connected to the same local network (same network router). Are you using Wi-Fi in your computer, or Ethernet?
