- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Via bundled python-osc dependency; bundle support requires using python-osc's API directly.
- ↑ Receive fully supported including nested bundles; send requires low-level
OscWriterAPI. - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 lossy type mapping to Python float.
- ↑ receive-only
- ↑ Minimal VRChat-specific subset; only serves
/and/?HOST_INFO. - ↑ Returns
OSC_PORTonly; missingNAME,EXTENSIONS,OSC_IP,OSC_TRANSPORT. - ↑ 7.0 7.1 Hardcoded to
/avatarand/trackingpaths; not a dynamic OSC address tree. - ↑ 8.0 8.1 Advertised as supported in HOST_INFO extensions but not implemented at the node level.
- ↑ 9.0 9.1 Supported on the node level but not advertised in HOST_INFO extensions.
