Hi all, I'm attempting to build a new front-end for a running Pd instance using a socket connection and the "FUDI" internal messages for modifying patches (i.e. 'pd-patch obj 0 0').

My question is this: the front-end has to have access to a database of sorts of what objects are available for use and how many inlets and outlets they have. Any ideas on how to do this just over a socket? I've been sifting through the undocumented commands here but haven't found anything that will send back a listing of objects (and even then, I'm not sure how I'd connect Pd's log output back to the socket).

How does the standard Pd interface do it? Will I just have maintain my own, hand-coded database of objects?

Thanks y'alls!!

Hi

I also tried to make a new frontend with python. And I get stucked btw
I know, when you send a message over a port to netreceive you get a number, maybe you can use it for your project. I don't know where to find the encodinglist sorry. Maybe it's a chance

Maybe you can get an impression, maybe not

Good luck for your project. Would be glad to be up to date of your project ^^

cheers
