Running weather-display and trying to running CumulusMX along side it, weather-display is set for only using UDP data

when i start CumulusMX i get a notice.. "only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

and i get no data from the station.

any idea how to fix this problem?

In general no - but it depends. To work it means both programs must be coded to open the port in a shared mode, this is not the default.

I have just looked at the CMX code for the Tempest (I did not write it), and it does not open the port in shared mode - I doubt WD does either.

EDIT: I'll add a TODO to change CMX to open the port in shared mode.
