OnApplicationPause connection lost (video sharing feature)

[creativitysquare]

hi guys

I was wondering about the following. I am implementing Kamcord in my game and there is an issue with networking as if i record something and i watch and share it, when i go back to the game i got disconnected. I was thinking that maybe one way to prevent it would be to do something like:

1. public bool paused;
2.         void LateUpdate(){
3.                 if (paused) {
4.                         System.Net.IPEndPoint ip = new System.Net.IPEndPoint(NUtils.SERVER_ADDRESS, NUtils.SERVER_PORT);
5.                         TNManager.Ping (ip, OnPing ());
6.                 }
7.         }
8.         void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus) {
9.                 paused = pauseStatus;
10.         }
11.         void OnPing(){
12.                 Debug.Log ("keep alive");
13.         }
14.  
15. or
16.  
17. void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus) {
18.                
19.      StartCoroutine (KeepConAlive());
20.                
21. }
22.  
23. IEnumerator KeepConAlive (){
24.                 for ( ; ; )
25.                 {
26.                         if (TNManager.isInChannel)
27.                         {
28.                                 if (TNManager.isThisMyObject) {
29.                                         System.Net.IPAddress ipAd = new               System.Net.IPAddress(System.Convert.ToInt64(NUtils.SERVER_ADDRESS));
30.                                         System.Net.IPEndPoint ip = new System.Net.IPEndPoint(ipAd, NUtils.SERVER_PORT);
31.                                         TNManager.Ping (ip,null);
32.                                 }
33.                                 yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
34.                         }
35.                         else yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
36.                 }
37. }
38.  

This approach doesn't work. Any idea how can i keep the con alive?

Many thanks

When the app is paused, no more updates go through. No more updates = no packets, so the connection is believed to be dead, resulting in a disconnect. You can get around it by setting the TNManager.SetTimeout to a high value.

thanks Aren
I will try this

It works perfectly

1.  /// <summary>
2.     /// Raises the application pause event.
3.     /// </summary>
4.     /// <param name="pauseStatus">If set to <c>true</c> pause status.</param>
5.     void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus){
6.         if(pauseStatus){
7.             if(TNManager.isConnected) TNManager.SetTimeout(180);Debug.Log ("APP PAUSED " + pauseStatus);
8.         }else{
9.             if(TNManager.isConnected) TNManager.SetTimeout(10);Debug.Log ("APP UNPAUSED " + pauseStatus);
10.         }
11.     }

thanks again
