    Communicate with MadMapper and TouchDesigner

    by cia_rana » Thu Dec 24, 2020 2:16 pm

    I am trying to send DMX signals from MadMapper to TouchDesigner via Art-Net on the localhost, but they use same UDP port 6454, so they can't communicate with each other on the localhost. Please tell me how they communicate.

    Communicating on the same machine should be possible if Touch Designer sets the right options on their network socket (sharing port and not taking exclusive access, MadMapper does this, SO_REUSEADDR + SO_REUSEPORT)
    But there are issues with localhost. It will work depending on which application opened the port first. It happens with all applications, it seems we can't deal with that. Installing a virtual network interface should solve, or just having an activate Ethernet interface and using that one.
