I'm tying to send callerid-info over the net...
On my sending installation I get an event Main.Phonecall u"12345632423 - Some Name" from my callerid app. So on that installation it's easy to show OSD with the text "Hey... pick up the phone, {eg.event.payload} is calling".
Then I want to forward this info to another client... but I can't forward the payload, or can I ?

Network send with payload
Re: Network send with payload
I agree, It's a limitation on the network sender/receiver. I think it should be improved to add the capability to optionally send a payload also.
In the meantime you could work around this limitation by sending for example "Mystring#Payload" and then in the other end do eg.event.string.split('#'). Which will give you a list of strings that were separated with '#'. Quick'n'dirty, but it'll work..

Re: Network send with payload
If you're not too worried about network security, my Broadcaster plug-in has payload support built in:

It also has the side benefit of hitting all of your other machines at once if you have multiple targets like I do. I use it for similar information about the current song playing on the main stereo, or commands to turn off any monitor/PC that's not currently in use.

Re: Network send with payload
Did try the broadcaster but since I want to send messages between two sessions (One console and one via RDP) on the same computer that doesn't work.
Did try to find the download for the xPL-plugin but the dl-link was broken...?
