Can't get rmview working with 2.11

[dustinkirkland]

Howdy! I've not yet managed to get rM working with 2.11 here... Can anyone confirm it's working with reMarkable's v2.11?

The desktop app is stuck on the "Connecting to reMarkable..." screen. Here's my verbose command line debug:

$ rmview -v

It works on 2.11 for me.
Have you started the screen sharing from the tablet?
If so you may also want to check #111 and make sure you opened port 5901.

Thanks, that's exactly it. I was able to make rmview work just fine, on a different machine, with a simpler network setup.

I still don't have it working on my primary machine (which is ethernet connected on the same network, but I'm utilizing a br0 on that system as it's a host for other containers/VMs). That machine just simply isn't receiving the challenge on UDP 5901, so I'm still debugging that...
