OSC streaming with Python-OSC

[James]

127.0.0.1 is local loopback. It won't work over network. You need to send to you actual local IP which will likely start with 192.168.something.something, or 10.10.something.something.
Find you local IP on windows with the command line "ipconfig".

[ALarini]

That's exactly the kind of basic thing I think I'm missing. As 127.0.0.1 worked for Lab, I thought it was ok.

Anyway I've tried with my IPv4 Address, 192.168.x.x, sending there from Muse Direct, as well as then trying to bridge through Muse Lab, and listening on the same IP and port of course with my OSC server, and the result has been exactly the same...

Maybe as my code is simply the script in a PyCharm project, I need to do something more to have it receiving from any client outside that same project?
Pasting here my actual code:

Code: Select all

import argparse
from pythonosc import dispatcher
from pythonosc import osc_server


def testmuse(unused_addr, *args):
    print(args)


def testmuse_d(unused_addr, *args):
    print('default', args)


def start_server(ip, port):
    print("Starting Server")
    server = osc_server.ThreadingOSCUDPServer((ip, port), dispatcher)
    print("Serving on {}".format(server.server_address))
    server.serve_forever()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("--serverip", default="192.168.43.243", help="The ip to listen on")
    parser.add_argument("--serverport", type=int, default=7002, help="The port the OSC Server is listening on")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    # listen to addresses and print changes in values
    dispatcher = dispatcher.Dispatcher()

    dispatcher.map("/Person0/*", testmuse)
    dispatcher.set_default_handler(testmuse_d)

    start_server(args.serverip, args.serverport)

Have you tried with the code samples in my GitHub, linked in the FAQ/OSC section?

[ALarini]

I've tried everything shared on this topic but I don't know about those. I've tried now to check the FAQ section here but I see only "forum FAQ", nothing about osc

[ALarini]

Thanks. Then yes, the simple one to start with. I've re-tried it now to be sure.

Code: Select all

"""
Mind Monitor - Minimal EEG OSC Receiver
Coded: James Clutterbuck (2021)
Requires: pip install python-osc
"""
from datetime import datetime
from pythonosc import dispatcher
from pythonosc import osc_server

ip = "192.168.**.*** "
port = 5000


def eeg_handler(address: str, *args):
    dateTimeObj = datetime.now()
    printStr = dateTimeObj.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
    for arg in args:
        printStr += "," + str(arg)
    print(printStr)


def default_handler():
    print ('default')


if __name__ == "__main__":
    dispatcher = dispatcher.Dispatcher()
    dispatcher.map("/muse/eeg", eeg_handler)
    dispatcher.map("/Person0/*", eeg_handler)
    dispatcher.map("/*", eeg_handler)
    dispatcher.set_default_handler(default_handler)

    server = osc_server.ThreadingOSCUDPServer((ip, port), dispatcher)
    print("Listening on ip", ip, "UDP port " + str(port))
    server.serve_forever()

I've tried with ip "0.0.0.0" as in github, then 127*** and then 192***, same result: everything seems to work but nothing is printed, seems like no handler is being called.
One thing, when I stop the server by stopping the process in PyCharm, I do receive some kind of error, but I guess they don't matter. Copying here anyway:

Code: Select all

[James]

I'm not sure sorry. Firewall?

[ALarini]

Checked, Pycharm is allowed to everything, same for Muse Direct (Direct is sending properly anyway, Lab receives every package on the right port and correct address).

[banjo]

Did you find any solution for this? I have same or at least similar problem, as written in another thread: viewtopic.php?p=3308#p3308


Edit: Found the reason for data not received properly, in the Mind Monitor settings I had "TY" in the OSC Path prefix. The other thread is updated with this info.

[rachel.dale.eng]

Try changing the IP to localhost (127.0.0.1) and turning off your firewall.

Hey James, about your reply advising the IP change to localhost (127.0.0.1), may you please share why and how you thought about and advised this change?
Thank you!
