Ventuz Forum

I'am using the OSC output to Stream String but I got problems.
The output Value is not identified as an String.
When I use integer or float values instead I have no problems.
So what i'am doing wrong?

Hi matox

You do nothing wrong! Ventuz osc string is not a real osc string! It is a osc blob! Only ventuz will recognize it as a string. If you work with a software which is not able to recieve blobs (like touchosc) you cant use osc string

Ventuz: it would be realy great to get a osc string node which is osc string conform and a blob node!

oh thats interesting... But why calling it Osc String and using Osc blob...?
So we need to parse it as a blob, this could help but still not perfect.
We could do TCP/IP but that is still very tricky as Ventuz stops working safely when the TCP connection fails or causes problems...

THX for the quick response.

hi tobi

the reason why ventuz is using the blob is unicode support but why they call it string...dont know

but if you write your own app....where you can recieve blobs....everything should work fine?!

maybe you can update your tuio transformer this way, that you recive osc blobs and send it as string

in the ventuz osc help file (there is its own help file for the osc sdk) you can find all informations!

If anyone is also facing the task to send Strings via OSC, check the attaced scene.
I used Ventuz OSC implementation, the node can now send a String array.

Thanks toby ..
really insteresting to unsealed the node in order to understand for others ...

Is it possible to handle the same way for listening or formating the osc blobs for strings received from touchOSC ?

ventuz osc string input is allready working with normal strings...problem is just sending!
