A "one to all" style open sound control router using zeroconf DNS service discovery (aka Bonjour, MDNS)
Registers on port 9092 as a zeroconf _osc._udp service
Messages received on port 9090 are routed via unicast to other instances of the software on the network via port 9092 Messages received on port 9090 are routed to localhost port 9091 Messages received on port 9092 from the network are routed to localhost port 9091
- Ruby 1.9.1+ or JRuby
- dnssd gem this cannot currently be built for windows
- ruby-osc gem
OS X developer tools must be installed
A local copy of git installed to clone the project, I use and recommend Homebrew for dependency installation
brew install git
OS X 10.6 comes with Ruby 1.8.7 pre installed and we can manage multiple installs of ruby with RVM
sudo gem update --system #the version of rubygems that comes with 10.6 is a bit outdated so update it
sudo gem install rvm #follow on screen instructions to add it to your ~/.bash_profile
#new terminal window
rvm install 1.9.2 #latest at time of writing
rvm use 1.9.2
rvm --default use 1.9.2
ruby -v #check current ruby version
sudo gem install dnssd ruby-osc
git clone git://github.com/samBiotic/ruby-zosc.git
cd ruby-zosc
sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core curl avahi-daemon avahi-utils libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)
echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
rvm install 1.9.2 #latest at time of writing
rvm use 1.9.2
rvm --default use 1.9.2
ruby -v #check current ruby version
gem install dnssd ruby-osc
git clone git://github.com/samBiotic/ruby-zosc.git
cd ruby-zosc
ruby zosc.rb
!! #eventmachine may say it isn't initialised on first run, if so wait a few seconds and try it again
- Send any osc message or bundle to all zosc instances on the network via localhost on port 9090 and receive from all zosc instances on port 9091
- Quit zosc with /exit message sent to localhost 9090
- See the Max MSP 5 example patcher for a demo.
- Enjoy!
