qmidinet / jamulus integration - multiuser sessions

Open netpipe opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

qmidinet / and jamulus might be ideal for integrating with qtractor for multiuser sessions.

qmidinet is best fit for local network segments (LAN); having it work across any kind of router is doomed to fail if not terribly faulty

im sure the delay can be kept under 200 ms latency. i remember midi being able to work over dialup so there should really be no issues. worst case you have to produce the piece and then submit it to a multiuser session specially with a buffer of somekind.

there are other midi routers available too if its a fault of midinet itself

the thing is UDP/IP multicast doesn't work like you wish on a WAN scenario, if at all.

it's a not even a question of latency or jitter: it's all techniically a lost case in usability and reliability.
