Hello,

Sorry for the connections problem

Could you tell me the info on the server window on Sound Show desktop ?
I noticed that there could be some problems when there are a lot of sounds preconfigured. If it is the case, maybe try with a smaller library. 
The current technology that I use for the communication seems not reliable on some network. I'll try to switch soon to a websocket implementation that will be more reliable (and that will allow external program interaction through an API)

I'll add the possibility for multi-window mode. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, 

First of all thanks for the quick response. 

The "remote control server" window does not show any particular message : only "HH:MM : Server started" while the app loops, as described in my first message. 

However, I tried at home and it works flawlessly on my personal network so I'm starting to point fingers at work's routers ! 

I have a DHCP server at home though so everything works as it should in the 192.168.x.x range. But no DHCP at work to avoid messing up our network configs, must of the equipment is set up manually in the 196.254.x.x range and everything added just defaults to zeroconf. 

I'm busy busy those days but when I'll have some time I'll go investigate on a solution and will post my findings here.

Thanks for the additional info.
Yes, some UDP traffic may be blocked by some routers.
Websocket implementation will be more reliable in all kind of networks. I've a version that already works with websocket but that need some more polish. You can expect it to be part of a next release  (probably in max a month). If you need it before let me know. 

In the latest releases, the communication has been changed to websocket. This should hopefully fix your connection issues. Be sure to update both Sound Show and Sound Show Remote
