Recorder/Playback

[tm1000]

Something that might be useful for Cue-View development is the ability to record bridges and then later play them back in real time

There's a few out there for OSC already

I had actually had the thought of having an option to save messages to a file for logging purposes not necessarily for replay or anything but possible I guess. Messages of all types (HTTP is a little lossy) are pretty easily serializable because of the whole cloud portion which allows replicating messages to remote instances over the internet.

I'll add for debugging communication things I'm more of a tcpdump and tcpreplay person myself.

@jwetzell ah didn't even think about it at a tcp level

Yeah, while there is a good chunk of things that speak OSC, the difficult stuff tends to be the things that don't use it or the things that speak some weird non-compliant OSC that an actual OSC library hates to look at 🙃.

Although for the purposes of showbridge I think being able to record and playback messages might be interesting to explore. Maybe an action to start/stop recording and another action to playback a recording, although that might be a mess to try and illustrate to the user what is going on. Maybe it lives outside of the trigger->transform->action workflow.
