OSC Remote

[p...@pitchmedia.ru]

Hello!
I had a control problem with the OSC protocol. OSC message is sent to the specified port, but the remote indicator is not active.
Do we have an example of using OSC?

Hi!

The first thing to check is the firewall. By default, the firewall blocks OSC. So either add an exception for the port or disable the firewall.

Entec ELM is on the firewall exception list. Used port is open. Disabling the firewall completely failed.

Adding ELM to the excepion list doesn't allow the computer to receive on the OSC port. It only allows ELM to send.

But if turning off the firewall completely didn't fix the problem, then it's probably somewhere else.

There's probably a network configuration problem then. You can check with wireshark to make sure the OSC packets are received. If you're sending OSC from another computer, make sure its firewall doesn't prevent it from sending OSC. Then check all IP addresses and ports.

I send OSC from localhost using TouchDesigner. Data is sent to port 80, the same port is specified in the Remote settings. Listening to the port indicates that the data is being transmitted.

Do you have at least one stage created?

[p...@pitchmedia.ru]

Yes, the scene is called pixel.

I've just tested by sending OSC with another app (LightjamsPAD) to localhost and it seems to be ok. Maybe TouchDesigner isn't configured properly to send to localhost. Under the hood, it needs to broadcast in order for other apps in the same computer to properly receive OSC.

Can you write an example OSC string here? Maybe I'm sending something wrong.

[Mathieu Lightjams]

To see the activity indicator, it's only about receiving data on the port. It doesn't even need to be valid.

So if you don't see any activity, you need to check this first.

Port 80 did not work, but port 8000 began! Thanks for the help and patience)

[Mathieu Lightjams]

Great! I should have thought about suggesting to use another port. Enjoy :)
