Broadcasting OSC to .255 from nomad (mac)

It doesn't seem to work from the nomad software. Instead I set it to transmit to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and run OSCRouter with the following settings:

Incoming Port: 53000 (or whatever your nomad transmit port is)

(All other fields of incoming blank — do not set incoming IP to 127.0.0.1; It doesn't work.)

Outgoing IP: 192.168.0.255 (or similar broadcast address for your subnet)

(All other fields of outgoing blank)

This setup allows me to use both my iPad and iPhone on the local network as control devices.

I have a similar problem (but in the opposite situation).

I have a program sending OSC messages to the broadcast address of my network :  messages are received by physical ETC EOS consoles, but not by ETC Nomad on my Mac (I already have checked that the Mac can receive the broadcasted messages by reading them using another OSC software).

I think it is because EOS only listen to messages sent to the specific IP address and not the associated broadcast address.

Is there a way for EOS dev team to have a look at this ? (I already asked OSC support in France, who told me to ask here).

Hello jeremie.gastonraoul , I've had a quick look and confirmed that MacOS is receiving the Broadcast UDP, but ETCnomad with Eos v3.3.3 isn't "seeing it".  I am not sure if this is a new problem or not - what Eos software versions have you been trying it with?

On my Mac, I'm running EOS 3.3.2. I can't confirm if it worked previously or not because I not sure I've tried that before...

On the physical consoles (where receiving broadcast works), I don't know which version of the software is running (but I can ask if needed).

I've just tried with EOS 3.0.0 and the result is the same so I think the problem is here for a long time...

Hello jeremie.gastonraoul  we were able to determine that it has never worked to send broadcast UDP / OSC to Mac (it does work on PC / consoles, as you found).  I'm not certain if or when this may be fixed, so you'll need to directly target the Mac for UDP messaging for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for your update on this one.

I keep hoping someone will take the time to have a look at this because I don't think it's a big deal to address it (most likely some UDP connection configuration). And that it will be the occasion to check at my other problem about VLAN interface connection (here).
