Always responds on local loopback - Remote Host field not changing

Open NoahCallaway opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Using PowerPoint-OSC on windows 10 with office 365.

It seems no matter the IP address in the 'Remote Host' field, the 'current slides' and 'total slides' response is always sent to the default address 127.0.0.1 Checked this with Wireshark.

This is a bit weird, I have not tested it outside of local, but the code is definitely setting up the remote host. Is it also forcing the port 35001 or can you change this ? Because it's the same function call that sets up the ip and port, so if the port changes, the ip should be able to as well

Hiya Just checked, I can't change the ports either it's stuck to 35550 for local and 35551 for the remote.

Ok so I guess the call to setupOSC is wrong then. I can't really check now, I don't even have Powerpoint installed.. In the meantime you could use Chataigne or OSCRouter to forward the messages to your target host

Hey, did you ever get any further with this?

The plugin worked fine the first time installing it, but now it's not responding to anything from QLab.

Well, no, I have not, since the new powerpoint versions are handling differently the plugins, I didn't take time to create a new system.

I have this working fine on Office 365 installed Powerpoint. Had to make a small modification for /slide x to work. See my comment in another issue.
