device.0 versus device.1

[d.andrew STEWART]

Please can anyone remind me how libmapper/webmapper assigns the suffix number to each device? On my system, I have a device, built in Max, that shows up as "DeviceName.1". Running the same Max patch on a different computer, the device shows up as "DeviceName.0"

Is there any way to force device number  ".1", please?

NOTE:  I am running webmapper from source code with the following cmd line: python3 webmapper.py --iface lo0

Hi Andrew,

This is a bit mysterious, but I think the device is somehow being blocked from registering properly. Is there any information posted to the Max console when the mpr.device object is created? Once registered it should print “Joining mapping network as ‘X’"

Cheers,

Joe

Thanks for this. Sadly, this situation was on a colleague's computer (in Montreal). So, I can't debug personally with them. We'll see........  With the limited time we had (my colleague and I),  we unsuccessfully ran webmapper/libmapper; however, I think it was because he did not have a compatible version of the Max externals – he had an older version. We ran out of time, together, and were unable to verify. I can say the the "source" and "destination" Devices ".0" appeared in webmapper, but no mapping connections could be drawn.  Again, I think this was due to the incompatible Max externals.
