Hi, I am trying to run the rsudp and found this no module named “pyQt5” and import fail message. Should I be concerned about it and if so, what do I do? Below is the command to run and the message:
(rsudp) webgis-sendongs-MacBook-Pro:rsudp webgis_sendong$ rs-client -h
Qt import failed. Trying Tk…

UDP Client

Hello aalagmay, welcome to the community!
The immediate answer to this would be to install the pyQt5 module that seems to be missing from your environment with the following command:
pip install PyQt5
Here’s its documentation: https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/
From how you worded your issue I think I understand when this has happened, but to check, has this issue presented itself after the rsudp installation or during it?
There is also an alert regarding ffmpeg and ffplay, not finding them. Those are important if you want to hear the audio alert sounds when an event is detected, so you could install them if needed.
Thank you Stormchaser, I will try to do the pip install PyQt5
I first encountered (saw) this problem during the rsudp installation. Also the ffmpeg and ffplay not being found also during the installation.
No problem, crossed fingers that everything will work well.
Regarding ffmpeg on Mac, the answers to this post can help you in installing it. First and second seem to be the best ones: https://superuser.com/questions/624561/install-ffmpeg-on-os-x
Hi Stormschaser,
I succesfuly installed PyQt5 using the command python3 -m pip install PyQt5 (see below). However when I reinstalled rsudp, it still brings out the message

You can enter the command “conda activate rsudp” to activate the rsudp conda environment
and then run rsudp by using the command “rs-client -h”
webgis-sendongs-MacBook-Pro:rsudp webgis_sendong$
Hello again aalagmay,
thank you for the update. From your shell, can you try these two commands?
conda activate rsudp
conda list
and see if the qt (or PyQt) package appears in the list?
If not, while still in the conda rsudp environment, can you try conda install -c anaconda pyqt?
After doing this another conda list should give you the package installed in the environment.
Hi Stormchaser,
I did run the conda list after conda activate rsudp. The qt (or PyQt) was not there. I followed your instruction to install -c anaconda pyqt in the rsudp environment and then did another conda list. Both qt and pyqt are now there. I hope it now works. Thanks.
Tried to run the rs-client and this is what it returned

You’re welcome, no problem at all.
Enjoy RSUDP, and remember to launch it always after activating its environment with
conda activate rsudp
I forgot the first times and wasted so much in trying to understand why it wasn’t working… like a pc that doesn’t turn on because the plug is missing
