Retrieving patcher data

Joe's icon

Hi guys

Could somebody point me in the direction of documentation on retrieving information from a patcher on another computer, via internet connection.

For example, I send a max msp application to another computer but I can receive information from the patcher via the internet.

Is this even possible?

All the best

have a look at [udpreceive] and [udpsend] objects
check the Tutorial 3: UDP Networking

also check the [net.maxhole] object as well as the whole [net.] objects...

I have been experimenting with UDP objects and I have had some cracking results. Two major questions though which I can't find the answer to.

If I want to send and receive multiple data how do I do that? Use more UDPSEND's? Because the help file suggests that this would be an issue.

Also, I am having trouble getting the system to work when connecting two computers. For example, below is a much simpler version of my patch which has combined two patches that would normally be on two different computers. The problem is they are not receiving any information when I test it on different computers but on the same internet. They do work when I test the two patches on my computer. I am aiming to get the two patches to connect with each other on different computers on with different IP addresses.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

If anyone understands what is wrong that would be majorly helpful!
