Hey! I have a setup with three devices on the artnet network. To all three devices I send data at approx 30hz and the devices are sending the feedback to me at the same rate. All is working fine until dmxout local port is set to -1 (default), however if I set dmxout local port to 6454 then both nodes start to behave erratically and/or sluggish - I see that I have a lot of missed packets on dmx in, also some commands via dmxout don’t come through.
I 'm opening exactly same file on latest 2022 build and everything is smooth there.
It might somehow tie in to another problem I described recently because this problem I only see in this set-up, not in the fresh project.
Do you need to use local port 6454 on the DMX Out CHOP? Doing so could interfere with the poller in the Art-Net DAT if you’re also using the same local address in both. That may explain the strange behavior you’re experiencing in your other post, and the missed packets in this post.
In the 2023 series of builds we changed the Art-Net DAT poller to be more consistent with the ArtPoll spec, which necessitates sending from local port 6454 (ie. 6454->6454).
yeah, we have some equipment that also expects this kind of behavior 6454-6454 according to artnet spec, here
Protocol Operation
A Node operates in one mode, each Node having a unique IP address derived from its
Ethernet MAC address. The UDP port used as both source and destination is 0x1936
Otherwise the communication is not really working.
