LabStreamingLayer question: using it in a UWP (Universal Windows) app?

Hello all, I'm trying to get the LSL stream or UDP stream from the OpenBCI_GUI into my application, however, the call to resolve the stream (LSL.LSL.resolve_stream("type", "EEG", 10);) always hangs. I believe it is because OpenBCI is sending the data via some localhost, but UWP has network isolation, preventing the client app from receiving data transmitted this way.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Detailed guidance would be appreciated. Newbie programmer here!

There used to be a user discussion forum for LabStreamingLayer users at:

https://mailman.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/lsl-l

But it appears that UCSD has dropped all mailman based mailing lists. Quite unfortunate. Some of the UCSD groups have transitioned to Google Groups, but I could not find an LSL group there. The LSL docs still redirect programmers to the link above, see page,

LSL does have an issues page on Github, I suggest asking there if they have any tips on your situation. If you find out they have a new user forum, please update us.

OK, got a reply from the issue post:

Oh thanks for pointing that out.

Recently most user requests have been going through the Slack channel or GitHub issues on the associated repos.

The https://labstreaminglayer.org website went live recently. Probably more of a soft launch than a full launch. There is a forum there: https://forum.labstreaminglayer.org/login

I'll get rid of the mailman link and add the forum link. Closing the issue, but feel free to continue discussion.

P.S. I always thought there should be a neurotech stack exchange. I would much prefer that over any forum, and I'd limit Slack to things that actually required a conversation. Unfortunately, I think with increasing commercial interests in the space this is less likely now than ever.

Followup from Chadwick:

I don't think I have an account on your forum so maybe you can relay this message.
The user working in C# should probably try posting an issue in this repo:
https://github.com/labstreaminglayer/liblsl-csharp

That will probably get most visibility among C# users.
