Hi Edward, i think now i get it.The problem is, that Art-Net 4 does not fall back to broadcast mode when no nodes subscribe correctly. Then I still think it would be a good thing to have the option for old behaviour, to be able to run a show with older or problematic nodes just in case. But maybe it does not happen as often as i fear. Then all is good. Many thanks for your help with my problem Edward. Best wishes and a nice christmas to you and all Rolf

Hi Edward, i have read the relevant parts of the art-net spec v3 and v4 and that is why i'm confused what is going on. The only relevant difference i can find is the handling of nodes with multiple outputs and overcoming the multi-homing problem with more than 4 Ports. sACN conversion and OLA should not be a problem. As the Enttec is stated as 1/2/3 compilant and was working with 7.9.4 and stopped working at 7.9.5, i am curious, what the Enttec and others are doing wrong in the ArtPollReply? Do you know what there happened? Best wishes Rolf

Hi Edward, thank you for the welcome 🙂. The node is an enttec datagate mk2 with older firmware. Franck Tiesing already solved the problem with pointing to a firmware update. The thing is, i am confused how the backward compatibility is broken, because ArtNet 4 spec tells, the changes from 3 to 4 are all backward compatible. Do you know what is going wrong there on the protocol level? Best wishes Rolf

Hello Edward, do you think it is possible to implement the option to send anyway, like in art-net 3 before? Because some Nodes do not request a universe too and do not work since the 7.9.5 update. That would make it possible to use new ZerOS with older Nodes too.
