How can I get the hololens to receive OSC (or UDP) messages over wifi?

Hi,

I've got my app working perfectly in unity running remote holographic. I have a secondary app which is sending UDP data using OSC (Open Sound Control). I am actually using extOSC from the unity app store although i've tried everything that's out there and none of them are working for me!
In my outgoing app i specify the target IP address of the PC and the outgoing port, on the PC I just set the receiver port to match my outgoing port (in both cases i use 8000). It works perfectly. Once it has deployed i change my target IP address to the Hololens IP (leaving the ports at 8000) and it isn't working.
I've seen other examples of people using OSC with hololens so i know it should be possible.

Do i need to use a specific port range? Is there a firewall setting that i need to change on the hololens?

Cheers,
James

    I answered my own question. Always the way, struggle to figure something out for a week, finally post it and 5 hours later find the solution.
    If anyone else has the same problem, you need to have "internet client" turned on in player setting/publishing settings.

    Hi,
    I am trying to receive data from a sensor via OSC into a unity game running on the HoloLens. Whenever the sensor starts sending data, the game exits on the HoloLens. It is working fine on a PC. Is there a way to fix this ?

    Thanks
