tried that to no apparent effect.
did grab screenshot of max window.

something about zeroconf. wasn’t that the connector thing before serialosc?
i also tried opening the serialosc app within ml and it appears to be the genesis of the connection issue as nothing happens with either the old so app or the one i copied and aptly named from the functioning tpv vers. something within the serialosc app doesn’t want to connect to my gs64.
