hello pd-list.
I would like to find out more on how exactly the undocumented options '-guicmd' and '-guiport' might be used?
when pd starts up it usualy listens to port 5401 and the netstat gives
%netstat|grep 5401 tcp 0 0 localhost:5401 localhost:52381 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 localhost:52381 localhost:5401 ESTABLISHED
does it mean that 5401 if where 'pd' sits and 5381 is where 'pdgui' comes from? so the could be on different host or there any restrictions? i have got pd compiled only one machine , so could not test this yet ..
also another option - '-guicmd' - what about this one?
i thinking how to setup a such a 'multi-station', which could have multiple users using some set of programms for their multimedia production with such a particular oportuniti to work in the same programm at time .. so with PD, in fact , i can see many ways of implimenting that. it is event too many ways to try, needs benchmarking i think. ..
appart from what could be done with built-in pd stuff, i'd like to try Xdmx and may be even just XdmCP (simply when a user log-in on a thin client - he gets a full-sceen patch as an Xsession ) ..
but i'm realy curious what those undocumented options are !
