Hello,

I want to use the tvb from one packet in another packet. So I use conversations for that.

When I use this conversation later in another packet, I can't use the tvb from the conversation. If I simple print the type of the tvbuffer, the output is something like 14343243 instead of 0,1 or 2.

Does somebody know what I have to care to use a tvbuff in a conversation.
You simply can't do that. The tvb references packet buffer in memory, which is freed after the packet dissection completed.
