OSC with special characters

[s.hellmann]

Hi.
Following problem:
I am using Arena 6. I want to send some OSC strings with Processing to Arena. With all latin characters there is no problem. But when I use german chars like "ä", "ß" etc., they won't get displayed. They are not even identified by Arena, when I look into the OSC protocol. I am sending the right chars with p5Osc. Someone knows how I can fix it? Maybe Arena 6 can't decode these german chars.
Best wishes to you all!

Just to double check, it's not the address itself that contains those characters right? We'll have a look to see if we can sort this out, it sounds like an unicode problem.
Did you manage to send Strings like this from Processing to another Application? Just to rule out it's not Processing being at fault here.

I just gave this a code and it seems to work just fine here. This what my Processing code looks like.

Code: Select all

  OscMessage myMessage = new OscMessage("/composition/selectedclip/video/source/blocktextgenerator/text/params/lines");
  myMessage.add("Processingäß");
  oscP5.send(myMessage, myRemoteLocation);

Thanks!

That is weird. I am gonna check my code. Thanks for answering so fast!

I did this:

Code: Select all

OscMessage Name = new OscMessage("/composition/layers/3/clips/9/video/source/blocktextgenerator/text");
Name.add("hüpfen");
oscP5.send(Name, myRemoteLocation);    

And it only showed me in Resolume Arena 6: "h pfen"

with "hüpfen" replaced with "Processingäß", it showed me "Processing (insert here two square blocks)".
And your adress tag doesn't work for me...

So what's the problem?

Do these characters show up with your selected font, if you type them into the text block in Resolume directly?

[s.hellmann]

Yes, they do!

[Zoltán]

Weird, works fine for me too.
Are you on mac or windows?

Which processing, and OSCP5 version are you using?

[s.hellmann]

I am on Windows.
I have installed the most recent version of Processing and OscP5. I will check that on another machine.

I've installed processing on windows, and it seems it can't send the characters properly.

Running the same code in processing on mac to the windows Resolume instance, I get the correct letters.

If I try to send the characters as address, it's also not showing correctly.

I'm leaning towards this being an issue in processing. Sending from Processing to processing, I also don't get the correct characters. Sending from Resolume to Resolume works fine.
