OSC doesn't automatically start up in DAW

[mkruselj]

The problem being that tryOSCStartup() is currently called from prepareToPlay, but it requires data from DAWExtraState, however we only get this data when setStateInformation() is called, which happens after prepareToPlay.

Atomics, etc. @baconpaul.

@mkruselj I think (think) the right approach is https://github.com/baconpaul/surge/tree/maybe-this-7293 but I am not sure how to test. Can you give that a whirl and let me know?

@baconpaul Unfortunately that doesn't seem to have done it.

How to test? Open this Reaper project:

osctest.zip

It has two Surge instances (note, they are both opened side by side on a dual monitor setup, you may not see the second one - but if it works for the first instance, it will also work for the second instance). DAWExtraState already has the right flags for is OSC started and OSC ports stored (which you can query if you breakpoint at a convenient point). It's just that OSC connections aren't starting upon project load/plugin init/unstream from plugin chunk. You would see the OSC Settings menu entry say "stop connections" instead of "start connections" if connections were active.

OK my branch works exactly like that with your test case if you have audio running and tracks unmuted.

But if you don't, no luck.

That is, luckily, easy to fix. Push coming soon.
