Speckle send/receive don't work in the dynamo player #66

From discourse, by Rasmus:

When using Speckle as the main input for a Dynamo script to create structural elements - I am having problems running the script through Dynamo Player - even though the script is able to run fine through Dynamo on its own. I am thinking that the Speckle Reciever node needs to be “activated” before use or something like that. I am wondering if this is what causes my problems with running through the Dynamo Player.

Discussed this with @teocomi , and it's a combination of dynamo limitations and how speckle needs to work to get/set data.

After a coffee chat, the proposed solution will be to create a simpler, zero-touch, receiver node that should bypass dynamo player's limitations. One caveat that this receiver will output the data as a dictionary, and not split into output ports.

To be discussed, early days.
