MQTT Synchronization

MQTT sync should be used to synchronize players that don’t support standard local network synchronization over local network (TCP/UDP). MQTT synchronization can either be done over the internet or with a local MQTT broker set up on a dedicated Windows or Linux device.

Sync over Internet

Platforms that don’t support sync over local network (TCP/UDP), will sync over internet (MQTT) by default with no MQTT server needing to be specified:

• Samsung

• BrightSign

• Sony Android

• Philips Android

Sync with a Local MQTT Broker

To set up sync using a local MQTT broker:

• A dedicated Windows or Linux device is required.

• All devices and players must be connected to the same local network.

1. Download and install mosquitto (MQTT broker) - https://mosquitto.org/download/.

2. Locate the mosquitto.conf file.

   1. The default path on Windows is C:\Program Files\mosquitto\.

3. Add the following lines to the configuration file:

   1. listener 9001

   2. protocol websockets

   3. allow_anonymous true

4. Start the mosquitto service:

   1. WinKey + R → services.msc → mosquitto broker → Start/Restart

5. Allow the port through the Windows firewall by running this command in terminal:

   1. netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Mosquitto WS" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=9001
