Udp Problem !

[xtermin8r]

hi
is it just me ? When I send a Udp command to vc the command repeats twice, I tried it on 2 different computers and the results are the same. Vc version 0.935 works ok all later versions have this problem.

I think it is just you.  You have reported this problem several times in the past.  No one else has ever reported this problem and I have personally tested many machines with lots of different setups and never seen this.  My offer still stands to try to help you figure out what is going on on your system to cause this.

Hi J

I'll try it on a 3rd computer and will report back, thanks.

Maybe you should try on another LAN.  Maybe you have some system that is echoing UDP messages.

I'll try that.

It does not work with the tellvox program, but you could use the TCP plugin to send messages to VC instead of using UDP.  In the TCP plugin settings, select "enable simple web server" and set the port to use.  Port 80 is fine but you might already have something else using that port.  Save options and restart VC to restart the server with the new port.

Commands can be sent using the URL, the same way that we send commands to Halx, using http get.

Example, if the TCP plugin is configured to use port 8082 you can send a message with the following URL:

Code Select Expand

http://127.0.0.1:8082/api/tts.speak&&hello%20there

or in general

Code Select Expand


http://ip.address.of.vc:port/api/action.name&&param1&&param2&&etc

Thanks, for everything.

Problem Solved. Turned out to be my broadband modem was the problem (possibly a firmware bug) after replacing the broadband modem problem vanished. Thanks once again James for your suggestions, I would have never suspected that something on my network was the culprit.
