Port Occupied Error #47

When I start dmx-hue in terminal and leave it open, I then go to the Lightkey app to connect to Art-Net and I get this error about the port being used already by dmx-hue

ArtNet protocol requires software to use a specific port. While dmx-hue can happily share this port with other software, the opposite might not be true.

You can try starting your DMX app first and dmx-hue after, and if it doesn't work the best solution would be to use different computers to run dmx-hue and your DMX app. You can use a cheap SBC like a Raspberry Pi to run dmx-hue, as its doesn't requires much computing power.

I tried this, but it still is not working. It is possible for me to change my port address, but I am not sure what to change it to. Screenshot 2023-11-01 at 7 41 03 AM

This looks like the problem fixed by https://github.com/sinedied/dmx-hue/pull/35. Are you using the latest version of dmx-hue? Otherwise it looks like Lightkey has the same problem dmx-hue used to have.

I don't think the OLA server port is the issue. What are the options on the Art-Net page that are being covered by that dialog?

What happens if you set it to mode manual? Is there a localhost in Network interface?
