Thanx Roman for the clarification. I thought that [tcpsend]/
[tcpreceive] worked with OSC.
I think it must be specify somewhere in the help patch (with
[packOSC]/[unpackOSC] or/and [tcpsend]/[tcpreceive] ?).
I just download abstractions from :
http://romanhaefeli.net/software/pd/OSCstream.tar.gz
I will see that tomorrow.

Yep, as Roman says try [udpreceive] with [unpackOSC] (OSC comme often 'on' UDP) or [tcpreceive] with [unpackOSC], if you want a service with connection. The choice depends if you absolutely need to receive your data. AFAIK, OSCx accepts only UDP protocol.
you cannot use [tcpsend]/[tcpreceive] use together with [packOSC]/ [unpackOSC], since there is a special OSC specification for stream
oriented transport layers such as TCP. OSC assumes that either the
transport layer takes care of the corrent handling of packets
(which is the case for udp) and specifies a special header for OSC
packets, when it is transported over a stream oriented protocol (TCP).this makes the use of OSC over TCP much more complex. i made some
abstractions for mrpeach to handle this correctly. here a little
description about using them as intended:OSC OVER TCP
for unidirectional TCP connections, use:
[packOSCstream] and [tcpsend] for the sender side and
[tcpreceive] and [unpackOSCstream] on the receiver side
for bidirectional TCP connections, use:
-on the server side: [tcpsocketserver OSC <port>] with [unpackOSC] for receiving and [packOSCstream] for sending
-on the client side: [tcpclient] with [unpackOSCstream] for receiving and
[packOSCstream] for sending
(for the sake of completeness:)
OSC OVER UDP
for sending: [packOSC] with [udpsend]
for receiving: [unpackOSC] with [udpreceive]
i know, this sounds all complicated. actually i made those
abstractions to get at least raw functionality, so that
transporting OSC over TCP is possible at all. in order to make
things less confusing and more obvious, i guess, i should add more
high level abstractions, that contain the networking and un/packing
stuff in once class.roman
