plugin_if: plugin_if_goto_frame not changing packet detail

0

Hi,

I've written a small TCP service that runs on a thread inside Wireshark. I use Putty to send a frame number to the service which then uses plugin_if_goto_frame to command Wireshark to jump to the frame number sent. It works fine except for one problem.

Although the correct frame is highlighted in the Packet List, the Packet Detail and Packet Bytes don't change to match the new frame number. I've recorded a short video of this which you can see at https://youtu.be/jUHuC_2rTcM

What do I need to do to get Wireshark to update the Packet Detail and Packet Bytes?

Thanks and regards...Paul

I'm not sure. It triggers a 'find frame' kind of action, but doesn't seem to select it, which should trigger detailed dissection. Maybe better to go over to the wireshark developers mailinglist with these type of questions.
