Hi all,
As indicated in "pd -help" it is possible to run the gui on a remote machine. Seems perfect for patching with my xbox. But I didn't find more documentation about this feature. After some puzzling I'm using this command now to invoke pd remotely:
jxbox:~# pd -alsa -verbose -noadc -r 48000 -blocksize 256 -audiobuf 20 -nomidi -guicmd "rsh xi "/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui 5400 jxbox -display :0""
Where jxbox is my xbox (where I run the patch) and xi is my desktop machine (where I get the gui). Is this the right way to do it? I notice that pd chooses another portnumber when 5400 is in use (by eg. another pd session). Is there a possibility to pass the actual portnumber to pd-gui? Is this a *nix-only feature or can this work on win32 too?
Anyway, once again I'm amazed by the power of pd.
