Connecting Capture to Nomad on the same PC

Hello Jacob,

i recall having sometime issues with it in the past.
But a test right now, made it nearly happen at the first try.

I normaly start Capture first and EOS after that.
In my test the universe did not connect right away. So i went into capture>DMX Universes>more (Button on the Bottom) and than "Reset external Universes"

That made it happen.

I do use a loopback adapter.
And in Capture sACN is set to IP Address> Automatic

tested with:
Capture v2023.1.6
EOS v3.2.2.25 in Offline w/wiz - mode
Win 10

Thank you for the reply. I have tried everything exactly as you said and unfortunately still no luck. I didn't know about the reset external universes button so thanks for letting me know about that but it does not seem to help in my case. The thing I find so odd is how easy it is to set this up both internally on my Mac and between my PC and my Mac but it seems I just can't get it to work internally on the PC no matter what I try.

you could disable the wifi, that the Loopback is the only thing working.

And Yes, sometimes it is a mistery.

What you can try next is to set in Capture the IP for EOS to the IP of your LoopBack Adapter.
This can be done in the DMX Universes Tab.

I have tried those things. Are you saying that you don’t usually specify the Eos console address in Capture? If so I might try to leave that field blank to see if capture has more luck automatically finding Eos.

Edit: It turns out you can’t leave the IP field blank once you’ve edited it so this was a no-go.

the IP for EOS is 0.0.0.0 in my case. That is, i think, the default value

And yes, i do not set any address in capture. All is on Default
