Meteobridge PRO and PRO2 is not receiving data from WeatherFlow

Hello,
For at least 2 years I have had a setup with a Davis Vantage VUE as the Primary Station and a WeatherFlow station is a secondary station. This has worked perfectly - but now it doesn't. I have not changed anything in my network setup but the Meteobridge device is not receiving data from WeatherFlow anymore.
Today I just installed a brand new Meteobridge PRO2 and did the same setup, with exactly the same result - Data from my Vantage Vue but no data from WeatherFlow.

When I say no data, it is not absolutely true, as I get data maybe 4 or 5 times a day, but that is the same as no data.

I assume the SW driver uses UDP to get the data from WeatherFlow, and I have made a little program just to test, if I can get the data by listening to the 50222 UDP port, on the same network as the Metobridge devices, and that works flawlessly. So data is being send out, but just not received.

I am not sure, but I think this started with 6.0 release, so I don't know if anything changed with that, that could affect this.

Hope you can point me in a direction to get this fixed.

Then roll back to FW 5.9 then 5.8 to confirm the thought re release 6 as when something that has worked for years just stops then something has obviously changed.

I can confirm, that reverting back to 5.8 fixed the problem with getting data from WeatherFlow.
I tried 5.9, which did not work.

I really hope that whatever changed from 5.8 and forward can be fixed in future releases.

That will no doubt give Boris a head start in knowing where the issue might be?

Thank Mattk for pointing me in that direction.
I can now make a workaround, having both devices running, and still feeding my external MySQl server with data.

And the hopefully Boris can find a way to get it working again.

Thanks for testing the Meteobridge versions. As I don't have a weatherflow station at hand, could you please give me remote login to your Meteobridge? Please send URL and temporary password to "info(at)meteobridge.com".
