Hi, i have a dude using ArtNet library…
How i change the UDP port???
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if the owner of the library hangs out in this forum. You should ask this question in his repo as well.
If I were you, I would dig into the source and figure out if there is a handle to change the port. If you provide a sample code then it will help narrow down the search in the source code.

Thanks kfrajer for answer, i try to modify the source for this feature and works fine 
I do not know how to do compile this source in jar… when i compile it i share the new updated library .
I didn’t suggest to compile it. My suggestion was more about finding is there is a way to change the port by checking if there was an available setter for this. This is the approach I use when there is not good docs available and you need the feature like “now”. You can try adding the feature if you need to. Good luck building it and I hope it works!

Hi, I have not found the implementation in the library to make use of custom ports, I have to add this functionality, I have it added, now I need to compile the library again and ready, although for now I use it with an .pde file where I have the class that encapsulates the customized client / server.
@cansik updated ArtNet quite recently, adding socket reuse last year:
and bumping the repo just 16 days ago:
…so I would suggest forking that repo, making the patch that you are using there to add a custom port, and then submitting your change as a pull request to the original repo. Before you do that, though, you might want to open an issue on the original repo and ask if there is an easier way of doing what you are trying to do:

Thanks for an idea, when i finish my actual project i send a feature request to author 
At this moment the project is in very advanced stat and i not change anything of libraries, the project are comercial.
When i finish the proyect i publish my ‘netMessage’ API to connect any number of sketches, the API is the simplest concept of send and receive data same as oscP5, but working in android has a server “oscP5” not works actually in android as a server…
a litle example are:
netMessage m = new netMessage();
m.setDestination("192.168.1.128");
m.add("thing_1");
m.add("bla bla bla");
m.send();
this send an array ob byte´s automatically to destination, and on destination when paquet arrives..
onNetEvent( StringList msg ){
switch(msg.get(1)){
case "thing_1":
exit();
break;
}
when packet arrives to destination… destination make exit()…
it´s simple and effective hehe
As @jeremydouglass already mentioned, I try to be active on updating the library. Port selection was something I did not implemented to keep the API a bit simpler, but I guess it is something that makes sense. So I implemented it in the newest version 0.5.1 and released the library some minutes ago. But it will take some time to update the contribution manager.
// inport / output port
ArtNetClient artnet = new ArtNetClient(new ArtNetBuffer(), 8000, 8000);

Really ArtNet it´s a good library for multi platform projects, works perfectly in windows, mac and Android.
For me actually it´s the best network library for processing.
This is my code for transform ArtNet library as more similar to oscP5
