if i-score is not able to bind the udp port 13579, a message to the user could be helpfull

close #18

About this issue : if the port is taken, another one should be chosen automagically (for instance by adding +1 to the port and trying to bind it again... (while loop + try/catch block.)). However the user has to be informed of this, but I would find a message box to be annoying.

Maybe the currently binded port should be displayed in the status bar for instance ? (It's the bar at the bottom of the main window).

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to choose a new port, but a warning is necessary. If we have multiple devices, the status bar clue will be a bit messy I guess.

Maybe the device window could be revamped to display all the devices, with ports in/out, and warnings if needed. capture d ecran 2014-09-15 a 11 42 35

sounds reasonnable

bltzr commented 10 years ago

I like that we have a warning when editing the port numbers

good point, Reno

I think that this error message is not about the devices on the tree, but the "inner" device of i-score (i.e. the device you have to send messages like "/Box.3/enable", etc...).

You're right @jcelerier, the report I made was about the inner device of i-score itseilf. But I think that we should just consider it as a device, and make a device window more consistent. It should be easier to have the right picture of the whole network activity of i-score.

bltzr commented 10 years ago

I don’t know about adding the whole network stuff in the device window, but at least we should add the ability to show/edit i-score’s reception port, and show a warning when it can’t bind to it=
