I've noticed that the output of jit.gl.syphonclient updates whenever it receives a bang, regardless of whether the incoming stream has a new frame. I don't see something like a "@unique 1" attribute so is there a way to adapt the fps to the incoming stream? 

(I made a related post about implementing jit.change in opengl, which would be another solution:

This seems like an important missing feature, and it's available in the Syphon framework itself. From the comments of 

SyphonClient allows for lazy drawing by the use of a new-frame-handler. Using a handler you can perform drawing without using a timer or polling, achieving frame-accuracy with the minimum of overhead. Alternatively, if your application uses a traditional display link or timer, you can use the hasNewFrame property to make decisions about work you may need to do.

I got no response when I raised an issue on the Syphon github

i think the best place to stash this request is by filing an issue on my fork of jitter-syphon, which is the version used in the Max Package Manger -

Thanks Rob. Issue filed. @unique 1 would make my Syphon life so much easier!
