Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] new plug-in dissector - no packets displayed when dissector spec

From: Stuart Marsden <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

I am new to WS development, I now have a plugin which works well.

however if I select "sslbp.frametype"   in the display filter , I can select "Status" in the predefined values

however:

my printfs appear on the console, for both frametypes but no packets are displayed

I know I must be doing something stupid, but I cant get this to work

thanks in advance

Stuart
