I have a couple of patches that use the [TuioClient] to connect to reacTIVision. However, after closing and re-opening Pd, I get this when I try to open the patches:

(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name "listening"
while executing
"listening to TUIO messages on UDP port 3333"
("uplevel" body line 184)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmds_from_pd"

This is accompanied with a stopwatch symbol, which lasts a few minutes, and when it goes away the patch still does not load.
I am then actually able to open the patch if i do so from the Finder rather than the Open in the Pd menu, but sometimes it does not let me edit the patch.

Can someone please help me make it work consistently? Thanx.

EDIT: patch uploaded.

update: just downloaded version 0.42.5, moved the prefs from ~/library/preferences into a different folder, and it seems to work fine. However, I really want it to work in the version I normally use (0.43.4). Any advice?

maybe the patch is broken.

with me (intel-mini-mac 2009 OSX 10.9.3, PD 0.43.4, Reactivision 1.4, Jack-Audio, macam.component) everything works very well.

upload the Patch with the error message for testing.

Just uploaded the patch, is now visible in the original post.

I don't think it's broken, because I am sometimes able to get it to work but it is unpredictable when it will or will not. Also, even when it works, sometimes the GUI does not, or the GUI stops being responsive in weird ways after a few minutes...

I'm having a similar experience, but with tuiodroid. Yesterday I downloaded the app and connected to my macbook pro via wifi-net and everything worked perfect. Today I get the INVALID COMMAND LINE warning in Pd and "Client not reachable" on the touch device. I've spent the past hour or two trying out different IPs and computers without luck. If you find/found solution please post. I'll do the same!

So I ended up finding the solution at least for my own problem. You might want to try and see if it works with the reacTIVision too. In network preferences in the advanced settings there is a tab called TCP/IP. Here I pressed Renew DHCP Lease and then connection was back.

Sorry if I am a little off topic.
