I’m synchronizing 6 computers with the aim to project a big screen. It is for an artist that is going to present an art piece in a Museum (Spain). The video player is working nice, but now I need to know if I could see the IP address of every computer and then change this address in the master computer, that means, I have a master and 5 slaves that synchronize frames via ethernet. I’m doing this manually I give for example the 169.254.0.1 to the first computer, but now I need to see the ip address of every computer to be sure to assign the correct place to everyone.

Hi,
I’m synchronizing 6 computers with the aim to project a big screen. It is for an artist that is going to present an art piece in a Museum (Spain). The video player is working nice, but now I need to know if I could see the IP address of every computer and then change this address in the master computer, that means, I have a master and 5 slaves that synchronize frames via ethernet. I’m doing this manually I give for example the 169.254.0.1 to the first computer, but now I need to see the ip address of every computer to be sure to assign the correct place to everyone.
It’s clear the idea?
Thanks for the help
David

You may not need to. If you're using jit.net.send for your video, you can just have the 5 slaves all sending to the master computer (they need to know the master computer's IP), and the master computer can receive all 5 at once (it doesn't need to know the slave IP numbers, just use "ip ANY"). On the slave machines you can use [prepend] to put an index number before the video frames, then on the master one, use [route] to send the different video streams where you want.

For the sender you can use the broadcast address 

 for the receiver, as mentioned by seejayjames.

For the sender you can use the broadcast address 255.255.255.255, and use ip ANY for the receiver, as mentioned by seejayjames.
