Hello,

Coming back about the project I described at first post.

To begin, I created a simple interface with 3 buttons "Red", "Green" and "Blue".

Each button sends respectively on UDP 127.0.0.1, port 7700, these strings : "/1/toggle1", "/1/toggle2" and "/1/toggle3"

QLC+ is running on the same machine. Here is its configuration for OSC :

I'm trying to create a profile for this program, using the automatic discovery function (button with a magic wand) in the Input Profile Editor. However, while this function is active, my attempts of clicking the 3 buttons of my interface don't seem to be recognized by QLC+. However, in the Mapping tab, the OSC line does show "packet received" number, which was incremented at each click.

I think I am missing something here. Maybe it is a problem with my messages that are sent to QLC+ ? Is there a way for QLC+ to display somewhere (in the terminal output maybe, I use Linux) what was the content of the received packet?

Thanks for any help you can provide !

edit : apparently, it is not sufficient to send a string respecting OSC path over UDP. The UDP packet has to respect OSC protocol, so I guess I'll have to dig further.
