MSC Show Control

About MSC Show Control

Connection reliability, which is what this release is really about. Fixes a bug that stopped a host added by tapping it in the Connect list from ever sending: the address was saved with a network-interface suffix that CoreMIDI could not use, so nothing was delivered while the status dot still showed green. Servers saved by earlier versions repair themselves when you open the app. Also fixed: the app could start up with a network MIDI session that was not actually ready, and appear connected while every cue failed. It now waits for the session to come up, and says "Reconnecting..." until it has. Toggling Wi-Fi, or dropping a VPN, no longer leaves the app unable to send until it is force-quit. Elsewhere: • A cue that fails to send now raises an alert, and the app rebuilds the connection in the background so the next one works • "Reconnect now" on the Connect tab rebuilds on demand, so you never have to force-quit mid-show • The status pill warns when this device has no Wi-Fi or wired network, and no longer shows green when the MIDI session is not really up • Set an MSC device ID when adding a host by hand, with an explanation of what it does, and each server now shows its device ID on its title line • A new Troubleshooting section covers device-ID mismatches, VPNs, and what to try when automatic discovery does not work • The confirmation at the bottom of the Show screen now fades away, and no longer shows raw hex
