Hey,
Problem:
I have a macbook (192.168.3.2) with DAW and a ve pro running on a separate PC (192.168.3.1).
My friend has a mac pro with DAW and ve pro running on the same mac pro (localhost or 127.0.0.1)
When I load his project, ve pro can not reconnect to the template because it remembers the localhost IPs.
Observations:
Running Wireshark, I found that the plugin of the DAW requests the location from a range of ~50300 - 51000 ports to a port 6473 on the VE Pro server machine. Making the plugin appear as if requesting not from 192.168.3.2 address, but from 127.0.0.1 could solve this. Anyway, the plugin has to see the 127.0.0.1.
Tried:
To modify the hosts file, add and remove via terminal route command, port forwarding via nmap's ncat command.
This problem could be solved if I could modify the behavior of the plug in when searching (is there an API you could give?)
For the devs, would adding an if else statement that treats the user-defined local ip address as a localhost ip address would solve the problem?
