I want to send messages via udpsend to other mac computers using a local network. The other computer (it suppose to be more than one in the future) should have a stand alone max app which receives the messages sent by the host computer.

I think there is the ip address 255.255.255.255 which sends to all the computers inside the local network, but somehow I don't receive the sent messages. I used "udpsend 255.255.255.255 7400" and "udpreseive 7400". The local network is set, but I didn't receive the messages. What am I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Any help is highly appreciated.

Have a go with [mxj net.maxhole], it might make things easier if you just want to send to all computers on the network.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately [mxj net.maxhole] doesn't work with stand alone apps generated in max.

Max Window: "(mxj) Unable to find max.jar! mxj is rendered powerless in its absence."

Also it seems to be a bit slower than the tcp/ip version

The network option above works fine when I use the ip address of the remote computer. But as far as I know it should be possible to send to all computers in the network at ones with ip address 255.255.255.255. But somehow I must do something wrong.

Hi Again, found the problem. By mistake I was using 225.225.225.225. instead of 255.255.255.255

Sorry for beeing stupid ;-)

is it in general maybe better to use max/msp runtime and a collective instead? Or do I have the same problem with collectives using jitter or java?

how do i set up a udpsend object in a standalone, so that the ip address can be entered by the user. i.e so the ip address coupled to the udpsend object can be changed for different users sending to different computers - i cannot seem to get it!

Very quick idea and didn't test it properly, but...

Luke, thankyou very much! that is a big help.

can i ask what the sel 13 does in the ASCII value output - i understand that it sends a bang after 13 digits have been reached (ip address) - but what does the bang do. also i figured out that with textedit objects the default is the tab button to send the message, as eneter only moves down a line. also prepend host works as well for putting host before the ip. but thankyou very much!

13 is the ASCII code for the enter key, so the 'sel 13' just bangs the text box when you press enter so the ip address gets sent through. The text would get sent through as soon as you click away from the box anyway.
