Using OSCReceiver without using a JUCEApplication

General JUCE discussion
1

Hi, I am trying to use the OSCReceiver class in a program that is not using the JUCEApplication part of the framework. Is this possible?

This is for a simple console application, in which I would like to avoid having to put the JUCEApplication and MessageLoop infrastructure if possible.

I have been able to use OSCSend without the need of JUCEApplication or Message Loops, not using those parts of the JUCE framework, but I am not sure if this is possible for OSCReceiver. It seems like it needs the JUCE Message Loop for hte callbacks, and that I guess needs the JUCEApplication infrastructure.

Any ideas on how can I use OSCReceiver in such a way?

I would expect to be able to use in a similar way to MIDI to the callbacks for MIDIInput, that don’t need the Message Loop at all, and can be used outside of the JUCEApplication wrapper.

Thanks

Hey,

Unfortunately OSCReceiver uses quite a lot of JUCE classes internally such as MemoryInputStream, Thread, DatagramSocket, and yes the message loop as well. So the answer is: no it’s not possible.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I have moved the OSC implementation oscpack, and
it is working fine.

I am really liking JUCE’s MIDI implementation. Easy to use and rock solid.
