The official way for vvvv to talk to Ableton Live is to communicate via the OSC protocol to Max4Live patches running inside Live. Max4Live patches have almost full access to the software via Live API.

Examples in your vvvv\girlpower\ directory:

• IO\Networking\2_Advanced (OSC)\04_Remote Player

vvvv can talk to Photoshop running on any networked machine. Images can be sent to and requested from Photoshop.

Photoshop understands JavaScript (manipulate Layers, Groups, SmartObjects, Filters, Adjustment and Text layers; Open/Save/Export documents, ... you name it), vvvv offers a simple way to send these commands and receive responses.

The convenient Photoshop (EX9.Texture) automatically pulls an image from Photoshop when any change was made to a document.

Nodes in this category are coming with the addonpack.

vvvv is able to communicate with a range of databases.

You must have access to a database, which can be on your local computer, in a LAN or somewhere in the depth of the internet. If you do not have access yet, the easiest thing would be setting up a mysql database (server) on a local computer.

vvvv can receive and decode EyesWeb data. Check the helppatches of the EyesWeb nodes for more info.

HTML websites can be loaded, navigated, created, parsed or used as textures in vvvv. From the web or locally.

HTMLTexture nodes are coming with the addonpack.

Examples in your vvvv\girlpower\ directory:

• IO\Networking\Web

HTML websites loaded as textures using the HTMLTexture (EX9.Texture) can be modified by invoking JavaScript functions. These functions can be parts of the HTML documents or provided by vvvv on the fly.

HTMLTexture nodes are coming with the addonpack.

Kontrolleur is an open source general purpose remote controlling app for Android written in Processing. It displays (using simple autolayout) interface elements (slider, button,...) that are being pushed to it via OSC by vvvv (or any other host) and sends back values to given OSC addresses.

Check the helppatch for the Kontrolleur (Network) node to learn how to use it.

Spout is a realtime video sharing framework for Windows similar to Syphon for OSX.
After installing Spout, textures can be shared between vvvv and Resolume, TouchDesigner, Processing, OF, ... you name it.

For streaming Spout via the Network use TCPSpout.
