Net broadcaster sendind but listener is not receiving
-
Hello,
I am using two copies of Isadora, one is running on Mac and the other is running on Windows, I am trying to send messages between the two applications.The Mac application sends and receives information via Net Broadcaster and Listener. But the Windows application just sends information, even if I put the Net broadcaster and the listener in the Windows App, it does´nt receive anything.I checked the rules in my windows firewall and I am allowing all packages to be transmitted and received...Any suggestions? Thanks... -
Dear Kappuz,
Are you running your network connection through a router? (I.e., something that generates DHCP addresses.) A simple ethernet switch usually won't allow [multicasting](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast), which is the technology required to use the Net Broadcaster.) For instance, a point-to-point (computer-to-computer) ethernet connection usually won't work for multicasting.If you happen to have two Macs on a network, you could check the multicast connectivity using this tool:http://www.bdunagan.com/2010/03/31/multicast-ping-on-a-mac/Best Wishes,Mark -
Hello Mark,
I tried with the router and without it and it is the same behavior, I own the license for the mac, which recieves the data with the listener without problems, I tried with two windows computers and they does not receive the data, they just send. Windows sofware have no license, I make the sessions in the mac and the test them in PC.What can be the problem?Thanks. -
Dear Kappuz,
OK. You've found a bug. In fact, the Windows side isn't receiving; I discovered that when I made upgrade to the most recent Microsoft compiler, the TCP/IP library was changed (kind of "behind my back") and this led to an incompatibility with multicasting.For the record, the Net Broadcaster/Listener combo will work fine regardless of whether or not either version is licensed. Generally speaking, the demo of Isadora does everything except save.I will be contacting you via private message with a version to try to see if it solves the problem.Best Wishes,Mark -
Thanks Mark, I expect your answer.
Greetings. -
This bug has been solved. The fix will be available in 1.3.0f26.
