how can i communicate with other apps using OSC?

MoKaLux

I was trying to start and stop the server on a key press event. When I start it, stop it, then start it again that's when the spamming happens.

Is the project you posted last the final one? I can add it to the wiki asap

keszegh

let's not hurry with the wiki.

so you stopped and started the server again. i never tried that, will do.

@MoKaLux ,
polling when the server is stopped makes not much sense, but i agree that it should not produce errors.
in any case the following line change in udp-socket.lua line 118 in the M:poll function makes it work for me:
was:
if data == nil then return false end
new:
if data == nil or data== "" then return false end

keszegh have you managed to build a server app and a client app that can communicate (not from the Player)?

I tried to build both but I cannot seem to make them see one another and communicate

keszegh

did you set the same port in both client and server?

yes, here is a project with qt-exported client and server:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1dvw6tgnkq2y02aagjobj/loscdemo_exported.zip?rlkey=k2wj52irkrc0p1lg8djngr07l&dl=0
pressing M in the client will send a message which the server will catch and print the 'address' part of the message on the screen.

also the performance might be bad of the polling, at least moving the server window around is lagging. i need to test this in a real app situation where something else is going on too.

keszegh the last link is broken for me
