HI, I have installed Jamulus on my Mac and can launch the Jamulus app no problem, but I cannot find the Jamulus Server to run that. Where would it be on a Mac and how do I run it?
On MS Windows it appears as a separate application so is no problem.
Thanks

Hi Volker. I followed the instructions for launching a server on my mac, which seemed to work. I got the Jamulus server box, and checked the box that says Register my server in the Central Server list, and named it DexAndTheHalfTones - would my band mates now be able to see that server name under Central Server when they connect? And, while that server dialog box is up, if I then click on the Jamulus icon to launch Jamulus, it just brings me to that server dialog box instead of launching the actual application. While the server is running, how do I launch a second instance of Jamulus as a client instead of server?

Hi Volker I am sure I am just being dense, but what it looked like Corrados is addressing is an ICON to launch Jamulus server instead of having to run it command line. I dont think that is my problem, as I dont have an issue getting the server going. My issue is opening 2 instances. Once the server is running on my mac, if I then click on the Jamulus ICON, it just brings the server up
No, it doesn't. You should download the latest 3.5.1 version of Jamulus. Then you should select (if not automatically done) the North America Central Server.

The path depends on where you extracted the Jamulus software. Maybe you have put it on your destop. In that case the full path would be:
/Users/[username]/Desktop/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS
If you have put it in the programs folder, then it would be:
/Applications/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS

Good Morning:
I'm new in the forum. Thank you for sharing this program with us. I have a Mac Air OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. I have installed the software but I do not see anywhere to create a server to play with my partner. I've tried what you say about the terminal, but I can not find it. Can you help me create a server on my computer? Thank you.

If you type in "Terminal" in the Mac OS search, doesn't it find the correct application? Maybe you have set the language to something different than english?

Thanks Volker. I have already entered the application to generate the server. I'm not a computer I'm a musician. How do I create the server now? Thank you very much in advance

Then you are basically done. You can now connect to your server either with a client running on the same PC by using the IP number 127.0.0.1 or in the local network by typing in the IP address of the PC on which the server runs. If you want to jam over the internet, you should use the public server list. Otherwise you would have to configure your internet router so that it maps the Jamulus port so that it is visible to the internet. This is usually not trivial. If you want to use the public server list at the Central server, just tick mark the "register server" setting. Please note that only the other musician which are outside your local network will see your server in the server list. You should connect with 127.0.0.1 or the known IP address of the PC.

Answered my own questions below, but leaving this post in case it's helpful to others.
Hi Volker I am running the server on Mac OS Mojave with commandline: sudo nice -20 ./Jamulus -s -n -e "localhost" -o "mystuffhere"
But I notice that when I do this, I can't then run the Jamulus.app to start a client because it's already running. Maybe I am missing something simple? Seems like the '-n' isn't working correctly?
Update: I forgot to add the ending '&' the command line should have been sudo nice -20 ./Jamulus -s -n -e "localhost" -o "mystuffhere" &
Also how do I prevent my server from showing up in the central server list? I am using a port forward on my router and just want to jam with a buddy.
Update: It doesn't show up in the server list, not sure which comand line is making that happen.
Thank you!

Jeff, have you now got a private session running? I can't seem to get anyone to see my server - either in public or private mode. If you're runnning in private mode, how does your buddy connect to you? Is it by typing your public IP address - with port forwarding on to the mac you're running Jamulus server on?
Or have you done something else clever that I've not picked up is required?

Great that it works now for you. The command line argument -e "localhost" tells the server that it is the central server and does not need to register on any other server.

Hi Volker. I have the Jamulus Server but I can't create my own server. I no see any client IP: Port.
Do I need make some changes on my router? I like that the other musicians can enter at my server.
Thank you.

I just opened the Jamulus server list and I can see and connect to your server. So it seems it works just fine.

You should use the command shell (Terminal). Go into (cd) the directory Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/ and then execute ./Jamulus -s

This will be improved, see: https://github.com/corrados/jamulus/issues/89

Have you tried starting the Jamulus client also from the command line, i.e. starting Jamulus without any command line parameter?
That does work however I dont see the server I started in the list of public servers. Does this look right?

Volker thank you - I am up and running now. David
I did try to find that directory but couldn't. I saw a video suggesting it was under Desktop, but it wasn't. What is the full path to the directory?
The path depends on where you extracted the Jamulus software. Maybe you have put it on your destop. In that case the full path would be:
/Users/[username]/Desktop/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS

Do you mean that you were already able to open a Terminal and start Jamulus in the server mode so that you see the server GUI as seen here: http://llcon.sourceforge.net/images/JamulusServerSmall.jpg
Yes. What do I do now? Thanks

Never mind. Deleted my earlier post. I figured it out.

I just opened the Jamulus server list and I can see and connect to your server. So it seems it works just fine.
Yes. I see me to. But, what IP number is?
