Broadcasting
Hi all,
I'm trying to implement an SC version of some networking software I've been working on. The existing project uses PD, and we broadcast all of the OSC messages using the ip 255.255.255.255. I'm trying to implement the same functionality in SC, but am having trouble.
I try:
m.sendMsg("/test", 56);
and PD, which is listening to port 9999 with the dumpOSC object, never receives the message. Does anyone have experience with broadcasting to a local subnet using supercollider?
Also, if you're interested, here's a link to the project. So far we have PD and Processing implementations, with this SC code soon to follow.
Thanks much,

Re: Broadcasting
Hi Greg, Try using this instead: n = NetAddr.fromIP(255255255255, 9999); //you'll see "a NetAddr( 127.255.255.255, 9999)" in the post window
n.sendMsg("/test", 56); Your dumpOSC in PD should then see it. Hope that helps. -Cole On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 8:22 AM, Greg Surges < surgesg@...> wrote:

Re: Broadcasting
Hi Cole, Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work either... The NetAddr.fromIP(255255255255,9999) call does return the right value, but the messages don't make it to PD. I've also tried playing with
NetAddr.broadcast(9999) and NetAddr.broadcastIP(9999) with no luck. I know the Pd patch works because sending messages to the localhost causes them to go through. Do you have any further ideas about this?
Thanks again, - Greg On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 11:09 AM, Cole Ingraham < coledingraham@...> wrote:

Re: Broadcasting
It worked fine on my machine but I was running SC and PD on the same computer. I'll try a couple more things and let you know if anything else works. In the mean time have you looked at oscgroups? It's designed to broadcast OSC messages over networks.

Re: Broadcasting
Try this out too: t = Server.new('test',NetAddr(" 255.255.255.255",9999)); //a new server for PD networking t.addr; //just to check the address of the new server
n.sendMsg('/test',1); //should show up in PD I also got messages of "/status" every second on PD because the new server is not booted. -Cole On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 4:53 PM, Cole Ingraham < coledingraham@...> wrote:

Re: Broadcasting
I had to set NetAddr.broadcastFlag_(true); to get NetAddr.broadcast to work. My debugging protocol when I dealt with multiple laptops on a subnet was to have one laptop send this "help!" message:
all = NetAddr.broadcast; all.sendMsg('/roosevelt_help'); OSCresponder(nil, '/roosevelt_on', {|t,r,msg| var ip, name; if(verbose) { msg.postln }; ip = msg[1].asString;
name = msg[2].asSymbol; "response! name: %, ip: %\n".postf(name, ip); }).add; and then the others waited a second and responded with this method: OSCresponder(nil, '/roosevelt_help', {|t,r,msg|
{ this.broadcast }.defer(1); }).add broadcast { var ip = NetAddr.myIP; NetAddr.broadcastFlag_(true); Pipe.do("whoami", {|name| "broadcasting %, %\n".postf(ip, name);
NetAddr.broadcast.sendMsg('/roosevelt_on', ip, name); } ); } I would be curious to know if you've tried sending to another instance of supercollider or used a packet sniffer to see if problem is in the transmitting or receiving stages of the process...

Re: Broadcasting
Okay, thanks so much guys. Doing: NetAddr.broadcastFlag_(true); NetAddr.broadcast(9999).sendMsg("/test", value); seems to do the trick! I really appreciate the help from you both.
I'll post when the project is completed, if people are interested. Best, - Greg On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 7:12 PM, Luke Selden < lselden@...> wrote:
