I’m using Boygroup to control several clients, each displaying an array of videos. The Boygroup server is connected to a Python webserver on the same machine and receiving OSC/UDP messages, in the form: /wos/number1,s1. When I try to pass them to the Boygroup clients only the address gets through, followed by a bunch of special characters: /wos/number1#0#0#0,s#0#01#0#0#0.
Is there a way to convert this?
Also, the UDP info transferred to the Boygroup client only get through about half the time. I assume it is falling between frames. I tried S+H but the message is going to a Toggle and it doesn’t like the continuous input. Is there something like Damper for strings?
not exactly sure if i get your problem. the “special characters” you are referring to are part of the osc message.
one idea:
if you want your clients to receive the unmodified osc-messages, why don’t you, instead of going via the boygroupserver simply broadcast (by sending to an ip like x.x.x.255) from your python app and directly receive the stuff with the clients?
i cannot check that right now but if it is as you say that server and client show things differently thats not cool of course. still it might not be a problem though. note that the IOBox (String) has a conficuration pin named Show Characters…. try that one. and see if they both show the same string then.
I checked the configuration pin on IOBox. It changes the display on the IOBox on the Boygroupserver from /wos,s1 to /wos#0#0#0,s#0#01#0#0#0, but on the Boygroupclient, the same IOBox displays only: /wos in both cases.
But its not a problem for me now because I’m avoiding it by using your broadcast suggestion.
