Hi
Basic OSC confusion here: I'd like to run a server that keeps track of time and shares that to a number of clients, each of which run on their own, but with access to this common, global time.
However all the examples I found with [sendOSC] or [tcpsend] suggests that the sender connects to *one* client, which isn't what I want. I'd rather like to have the server broadcast to any number of clients that can pick up this information if they like.
Have I got OSC all wrong? How to best achieve what I need?

well, there's oscgroups: http://www.rossbencina.com/code/oscgroups
never used it, but should be able to help you out.
cheers, ub
You can broadcast over UDP by sending to the address 255.255.255.255.

if you want to make one server talking to several clients, you could use [tcpserver]/[tcpclient] and encapsulate your OSC in Slip packet see [mrpeach] externals

It's not really OSC, more the transport layer. With [udpsend] you can broadcast or send to a multicast address (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address). Multicasting may be more efficient as it only sends to clients that connected to the multicast address. Broadcasts go to every machine on the subnet. Multicasting is usually more of a pain to get working.
