Connection issue between Basilisk & Vizard in WSL (Windows)

[rhimas-arcsec]

Hi all,

I'm running a Basilisk simulation on my Windows computer in WSL and this works fine.

Vizard in WSL

I'm trying to connect Vizard to it, but unfortunately I cannot run the Vizard application in WSL. I shows me the following output, but does not open the application:

rhimas@Rhimas-PC:~/Vizard_Linux $                 

Any other graphical applications (e.g. plots with Matplotlib etc.) work fine and open as expected when running in WSL.
Are you aware of an issue opening the Vizard application in WSL?

Vizard in Windows

To circumvent this problem, I tried running Vizard on Windows and connect it to the simulation running in WSL. However, this does not work with the standard localhost settings. I succeeded connecting this for the broadcasting by setting the broadcast address to my WSL IP address in the python code. Then I connect with it by using tcp://wsl-ip-address:port in the Vizard application. However, for the livestreaming mode, this doesn't work. I tried localhost, the WSL IP address, the Windows IP address, and I added the TCP connection as an inbound rule to my Windows firewall, but still no luck.
Do you have an idea what can cause problems with the livestream connection compared to the broadcasting? Do you have more information on connecting Vizard in Windows to a running Basilisk simulation in WSL?

Thanks in advance!
