ola-artnet.conf seems not to have any effect

[Brimace]

Hello all - I've modified the ola-arnet.conf file located in ~/.ola, but the ip settings don't seem to take in once i run olad.  I haven't found any other ola-artnet.conf files on my system.  Any ideas?

At the moment, Ola sends fine to my Enttec Pro, but would like it receive though Artnet.  Doesn't want to allow me to specify an IP.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.  Let me know if I can provide any more info.

What does your config file contain? Also paste the output of ifconfig
for your system.

If you run olad -l3 you'll see the IP that the artnet node uses when it starts.

^^ 192.168.0.105 isn't configured on any of your interfaces. You'll
want to use 192.168.0.100 instead (or en0 if you want to be flexible)

Thanks very much.  will give that a try.

[Brimace]

ok. tried that, but unfortunately to no effect. OLA communicates with the Enttec, but still won't receive Artnet from the software that is sending. Perhaps I am just misunderstanding the ola-artnet.conf file.  Is the IP setting in that file telling where to 'listen' for the Artnet signal?

Thanks again.

No, it's the local IP to use for ArtNet. It's both the src IP address
used when sending ArtNet data and the address reported in ArtPollReply
messages.

Think of it this way: if you're machine only has one IP interface, you
can leave this blank and olad will figure out the address for you. If
you have multiple interfaces olad will pick the first one, otherwise
you can use this option to force olad to use a particular interface.

What software are you using to send ArtNet traffic? Does it use ArtNet
1 or ArtNet 2?

I see (i think).  I'm using Freestyler 512 to send Artnet (they recently allowed you to customize the Artnet address so it no longer needs to conform to the 2.0.0.0 or 10.0.0.0 address).  However I'm using it through Parallels, so i expect i'll need to fiddle with the IP of the virtual machine?

Oh, if you're using virtualization that complicates things. What mode
are you using for the guest OS ?

If you tell me what your end goal is I can offer advice.

Thanks.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  

I'm currently running Freestyler on Parallels in Coherance mode, Network is Bridged.

The end goal is to create scenes and such in Freestyler, send to OLA through Artnet and then out to Enttec Pro.  The reason i'm not going directly from FS to Enttec is because I'd ultimately like to capture the Artnet stream (either in OLA recorder or some as of yet unsourced and undoubtedly ridiculously expensive DMX/Artnet real-time recorder), and eliminate the need for Windows/FS in the live environment.

Got it. What IP does your VM instance have then?

If you run (as root):

tcpdump -i en0 port 6454

Do you see packets? If so what are the source and destination IPs?

Sorry. just wanted to sum-up where the issue is...

I can see the packets coming from the virtual machine, through to the host machine (osx), and being delivered to 192.168.0.255.

Within OLA, under Universe 1, input lists Artnet(192.168.0.105).  Is that where it is expecting to 'hear' the Artnet signal? (sorry if that's a bit of a repeat question).  Under HOME (in OLA) it says Primary IP: 192.168.0.105, Primary Broadcast IP: 192.168.0.255.

Regardless of what I put in the ola-artnet.conf file, those numbers don't seem to change and nothing shows under the ola_dmxmonitor -u 1.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Tried monitoring -u 0, but still nothing.

In the Universe Settings tab, under Input description it says, Artnet Universe 0:1:17.  Not sure exactly what those descriptors are referring to.  I am assuming the 0 and 1 have something to do with Universe and subnet, but the 17?  Would those numbers matter at all?

Sorry for the delay, I've been moving apartments this weekend.

Yes, those numbers are the key to everything :).

What ArtNet universe is FreeStyler sending on? In ArtNet 1 & 2, this
will be expressed in a <subnet> : <universe> form, where <subnet> and
<universe> are between 0 and 15. Note that some software expresses
this as 1 - 16, so if you see that you'll need to convert.

ArtNet 3 adds a 'net' field, which ranges from 0 to 127.

Once you know the universe, subnet and (maybe) net numbers that
freestyler is using, you can setup OLA to receive the data.

Simon,

Thanks for the reply.  Hope the move went well.  I hate moving.

I know that Freestyler is sending to Universe 1, as that is a setting you can make in the application.  However, I don't see any reference or settings as to the net/subnet in the application or documentation.  I suppose what i'll need to do is find some application I can run on the virtual machine that can monitor and report that info.  I'll do some digging on that.  Any suggestions on a windows / artnet monitoring app?

Thanks again!

Ok, so if we assume that it's using net 0 and subnet 0, and that they
start universe numbers from 0 then the following should work:

- start OLA
- create a new universe, with an ID of 1
- bind an ArtNet input port to this new universe.

The ArtNet port will then be listening for Artnet traffic to 0:0:1 .
If you then run ola_dmxmonitor -u 1 you should see the DMX values.

Hi Simon,

Thanks again for the response and sorry for the delay.   I was away a few days.

i confirmed that Freestyler is indeed sending on Universe 1, Subnet 0.

However, after deleting all universes in OLA,  I create a new universe (1) and bind an Artnet Input, but it comes up automatically as 0:1:17.  When  I create a second Universe (0), bind again to Artnet Input, it gets assigned as 0:1:16.

Any where to force or change this?

Cheers!

You've set the subnet parameter in ola-artnet.conf to 1. Both net and
subnet should be 0.
