Broadcasting OSC to .255 from nomad (mac)

Hello


Using a mac running nomad 2.3.3 I've noticed that while I can transmit OSC to a specific IP address (say 192.168.1.109) I can't transmit to the broadcast address (192.168.1.255) on the same network. Doing this from other applications works fine and I think this worked fine on an ion, so I think it's probably a mac thing.

Thanks

Richard

  • i don't know about mac, but it can also be a "function" of your switch/router to block certain broadcast stuff...

  • 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.
