The Protocol Monitor is a community-created plugin for Linux Show Player.
This plugin adds a tabbed non-modal dialog window in which incoming MIDI and OSC messages are listed as they arrive. This window may be opened via the "Tools" menu.
The tab displaying OSC messages also conveniently shows the exact ip and port Linux Show Player is currently listening for OSC messages on.
This plugin is most useful during the setup or debugging of system integration:
- checking that Linux Show Player is receiving something, and
- showing exactly what's being received.
- Linux Show Player
- Specifically, version
0.6. - netifaces
- A python module that can be acquired from your distro's package repository, or from PyPI.
To use, navigate to $XDG_DATA_HOME/LinuxShowPlayer/$LiSP_Version/plugins/
(on most Linux systems $XDG_DATA_HOME is ~/.local/share), and create a
subfolder named protocol_monitor.
Place the files comprising this plugin into this new folder.
When you next start Linux Show Player, the program should load this plugin automatically.
