Network Setup — labeled Network patch settings in the launcher — is where you set the ports xRLive uses and create the connections (“patches”) to external devices such as lighting consoles and OSC software. Open it from the menu in the top-right corner of the launcher and choose Network.
Network patch settings with ports, interfaces, and patches

The Network patch settings dialog

​
Ports

Two ports sit at the top of the dialog:
  • OSC Port — the port xRLive listens on for OSC messages. Match it to the console or software that sends the commands. See OSC Integration.
  • UDP Port — the port used for UDP communication.

​
Network interfaces

xRLive automatically detects the network interfaces on your machine and lists each one with its IP address. Use this to confirm which network xRLive can reach.

​
Patches

A patch is a connection between xRLive and an external device. Click Add patch to create one, then fill in the row:
  • Name — a label for the device (e.g. PC-Test).
  • Interface — the network interface to use.
  • Device IP — the external device’s IP address.
  • Port — the port on the device.
  • Type — the protocol, such as TCP or OSC.
  • Status — shows whether the patch is Online or offline.
Remove a patch with the ✕ on its row. When you’re done, click Save network to apply your changes.
