[Feature request] Support controlling projectMSDL via OpenSoundControl protocol #67

Open producation opened 5 months ago

It would be nice to have an option to activate an OSC Server which could be used to control the parameters

kblaschke commented 5 months ago

Since OSC (if you actually mean OpenSoundControl) is a very generic protocol, and "parameters" could also be anything, could you please elaborate a bit more specifically what you have in mind with your request, e.g. which parameters you want to control and how?

producation commented 5 months ago

I would like to use frontend-sdl2 as a video input source for Resolume Arena. The parameters which I want to control are:

next preset (impulse)
previous preset (impulse)
change to specific preset (string)
beat sensitivity (float)
add random waveform (impulse)
remove all random waveforms (impulse)
random preset (impulse) with these parameters I could remote control a show.

For Resolume, Syphon/Spout support would then also be of great value, right? There's already a draft PR for Syphon, but nothing has happened for several months on that front, so I'll consider it to be abandoned.

Since I'm currently swamped with other projectM work, I'll add a help wanted label here. If someone wants to take this issue and implement it, feel free to do so!
