I am trying to connect a Chamsys MagicQ PC (running on windows) to Capture on a Mac. However I can´t see any external universes on Capture.

Windows is sending ArtNet, the machines do talk to each other (OS X receives ArtNet too), and I have selected the correct interface on Capture. I just don´t see any external universes regardless of which computer or program I start first. They worked fine before updating Capture to 2.1.14.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi Lauri,

Two things you could try:
- Don't choose an interface in Capture, leave it at Automatic
- After starting Capture in the presence of ArtNet, wait for some seconds before creating a new / opening a show.

PS. You say that OS X receives ArtNet - how can you tell?

Thanks!

Leaving the Preferred network address to Automatic did help. :)

I could tell my Mac is receiving ArtNet out of iStatPro stating, that my ethernet port is receiving data when the two computers are connected directly to each other with MQ running on the other as the only program that is sending anything.
