Enable OSC at startup

Open wjbuys opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

Description

Problem: Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to start the OSC server automatically when Cardinal starts up (the only references to startRemoteServer seem to be in MenuBar.cpp).

I'd like to have some way of ensuring that Cardinal starts up with the OSC remote control enabled; either by remembering if that box was checked, or by providing a command-line parameter like CardinalNative --osc-port 2822 to start Cardinal with OSC enabled.

My use case is an art installation that boots into Cardinal at startup with no keyboard/mouse, only OSC host parameter control.

You should do a headless build. Default port is 2228, can be controlled with CARDINAL_REMOTE_HOST_PORT env.
