Hello! I’m using TT in combination with TouchDesigner, and adding automation for autostart of the app combination. I use CMDs that access shortcuts like

start “Autostart TagTool” “bin\shortcuts\Tagtool\_shortcut.lnk” “-s” “-h”  
timeout /t 10

It starts with spout, but I can’t find the way to start it with an opened local network session. Is there a workaround to do it? Thank you!

Hey,

You just need "-p " to launch a network session.

Here is the list of commands for the Tagtool Player App:

- Enter Tagtool Desktop Server name: -h TagtoolServer
- Start a local network session with: -p
- Start Syphon/Spout with: -s
- Enter fullscreen with: -f

This is an example without launching Spout - Server is called “DS3-Wall”
