Artnet Bug?

Seems I have come across a bug that when we log into our files (Hog 4, 2.2.0) -- it seems the console does not always begin to output art net. I have put a packet viewer on the network and confirmed that when we power down the console and cold start into a show (any show) art net does not start. You log out and log back into the show it and immediately starts outputting art net. Any other shows we load or change to after the console has been left on, will then output art net immediately upon show load.
Anyone else seen this issue?

I setup a test and have ArtNet running into a DP2K (in artnet mode) and I am not seeing this. ArtNet is working right away.
Can you please send me your show file, and please explain how you have everything setup?
I'm headed to the venue now; I'll shoot you a copy when I get in along with a screen shot of network settings etc.
Might have something to do with DHCP
I have to reset nodes to make them output.
Did you have this situation also without any changes?
My DPs get their IP from DHCP.
Artnet not outputting usually happens when DPs are powered up.
DPs load the show and outputs are active. Fixture link is not lit and Artnet is not outputting unless I reset the nodes.
Also- its not show file specific. I created a new file, and only patched my media servers and the same problem exists.
Hey Sami,
yes, thats what I always see, changing the IP needs the DP to reset.
So probably because they get the IP via a DHCP server they need to be resetted
I always use fixed IPs... so set once, reset, and there you go, day by day without any reset
Please send me your show file to
MGRAHAM @ BRACO.com
Please use WeTransefer to send it.
Seems that I'm wrestling with the same problem that just occurred two hours ago. I updated my Road Hog to 2.2.0, merged the show file I had used througout spring tour just to fix some cuelists for summer.
Everything went well until "network error has occurred - - " window appeared for few times. Then I decided to boot my console. After rebooting ArtNet stopped working. I restored system back to 2.1.0. Didn't help, no connection to my fixtures via ArtNet. All settings were same as few months ago when everything went well. Occasinally fixtures did something on stage when playing back a cuelist but can be said that nothing really happened. I checked the Network Diagnostics page and the 'State' of ArtNet was bouncing between 'Down' and 'Disconnected'
Very disturbing issue...of course can be user type error, hah! All help is welcome, thanks!
