Question No AIS targets

I'm running a Vesper AIS connected via WIFI to my Open CPN Version 5.2.4 +6b314eb.

Just today, I am not receiving AIS targets on my laptop computer. I have been receiving them up to this morning. I run a parallel system on a Raspberry Pi and that is receiving the AIS targets. So clearly, the Vesper AIS is working properly. On my laptop, I'm getting the AIS target list and can see them on the radar AIS PPI screen.

Where have they gone? I restarted the computer to see if that solved the problem but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
PLOVER

If you have targets in the list but not on the chart, maybe you accidentaly turned the display of the targets off, to check see bellow.

Re: No AIS targets

Thank you! You were right on. I don't know how that happened BUT all the targets are back!

Re: No AIS targets

This has happened to me as well and I found it somehow dangerous. Wouldn't it be possible to add to the hamburger bar an AIS icon which indicates by color code that AIS targets are received / are shown / or switched off.
Just my 2cents
