Not registering any node

[JahedulAnowar]

I am not sure if registration is working properly or not as no nmos node seem to register the services and I get this output:

$ ./nmosregistration

Also on running the nmos-mdns-bridge output:

This appears to be running correctly, but please note that it expects to be run with an Apache reverse proxy in front of it, otherwise the mDNS announcements do not match up with the port it runs on. The Apache configuration required is held in https://github.com/bbc/nmos-registration/blob/master/debian/ips-api-registration.conf and https://github.com/bbc/nmos-reverse-proxy/blob/master/etc/apache2/sites-available/ips-reverseproxy-common.conf

I got it to work by modifying line:87 to "current_priority = 100"

Thank you and sorry for the late reply.

[andrewbonney]

Glad it's working. It should be possible to resolve this without having to adjust the code. By default the Registration API runs with a priority of '100' which is outside of the recommended range and is intended to prevent it disturbing a running system. If you want to put it into 'production' mode then this should be set between 0 and 99. You can do this using the configuration file as noted here: https://github.com/bbc/nmos-registration#configuration

I am not sure why it didn't work without adjusting the code.
Anyways, i intend to use Sony's implementation of nmos-registration, and so far i think it is working the way i want.
