Query running status between VPR files?

Post by mrmacmusic » 27 Jun 2019, 09:06

I'm probably missing something simple here, but how can I query the status of one VPR from another VPR?

I'm using various OSC messages to communicate between separate 'master' and 'client' presentations, but can only get data back from the client if it is running – I'd like to be able receive (and act on) a "not running" status... is that possible?

Using C# code and Remoting you can communicate with the VMS and get the status. Check out the manual on that.

Thanks Lerou... I'd also like to be able to query other software (not just the client VPR) using OSC but I can't quite my head around how I can make my master VPR do something if it *doesn't* receive an expected OSC message... will puzzle on this some more!

what's your VPR supposed to do? What's the other software?

I can only answer for Ventuz: with a few lines of C# code (from any application or from a Ventuz script) you can query the State (not running, ..) and even start a project/scene. So creating a kind of whatchdog is possible. You can even react to changes in the state - so an additional OSC heartbeat is not required.
