multiple servers in one sketch

[clankill3r]

I need to send different images to a client from one sketch.
If i run this and check with Simple Client (the app delivered with Syphon) then only one is updating. The other 2 are frozen.

import codeanticode.syphon.*;

PGraphics canvas;

SyphonServer[] servers;
int nServers = 3;

void setup() {
  size(400,400, P3D);
  canvas = createGraphics(400, 400, P3D);

  // Create syhpon servers to send frames out.
  servers = new SyphonServer[nServers];
  for (int i = 0; i < nServers; i++) { 
    servers[i] = new SyphonServer(this, "Processing Syphon."+i);
  }

}

void draw() {
  canvas.beginDraw();
  canvas.background(127);
  canvas.lights();
  canvas.translate(width/2, height/2);
  canvas.rotateX(frameCount * 0.01);
  canvas.rotateY(frameCount * 0.01);  
  canvas.box(150);
  canvas.endDraw();
  image(canvas, 0, 0);

  int currentServer = frameCount % nServers;

  servers[currentServer].sendImage(canvas);
}

not sure if the current architecture in JSyphon allows for multiple simultaneous servers, I will check.

looking at the processing/java code I don't see anything that explicitly forbids multiple servers...
@bangnoise @vade does syphon allow to have more than one server running simultaneously from within the same application?

Absolutely yes

in fact, this is just a duplicate of an old issue on the google code site:

https://code.google.com/p/syphon-implementations/issues/detail?id=23

I managed to solve it by storing the server pointer in the JSyphon server object, and passing around when calling the JNI functions (see Syphon/Java@b9e05a9). I will add the same logic to the client, so you can have multiple clients in the same Processing sketch.

Cool, i could never have fixed this myself :)
Could you drop a release later here:
https://github.com/Syphon/Processing/releases

cause atm there is not a single release there.

[codeanticode]

yup, I will post a RC2 in the releases folder soon.

I think we are closing on the final 1.0 release, once the other remaining issue is taken care of (alpha) I will coordinate with @vade and @bangnoise to get the 1.0 package properly packaged so it can be picked up by the Library Manager in Processing.

cool!
