Hi Guys,

i saw you hab some trouble with entering the Web interface of QLC+ on a Mac. I found a easy solution to launch it.
Of course QLC+ Must be installed. It works fine with any Version 4, haven't already tried with Version 5.

First you need to create a blank File via the Terminal.
Enter:

Code: Select all

cd Desktop

then type in:

Code: Select all

touch "QLC+_Web"
Now you created a blank file on your Desktop. Open it by double click or open with TextEdit.
There type in:

Code: Select all

/Applications/QLC+.app/Contents/MacOS/qlcplus -w
Then safe the file.

Next you must go to your Desktop again, right click and click "Information" or just select the File on your Desktop and do Command + i.
Now add

Code: Select all

.command
to the Name&Suffix tab.

Now close all windows and double click the file you created. QLC+ should open in the Web interface.
You can access the Web interface in your Webbrowser on any Device in the same Network.
Simply Type in:

Code: Select all

Hello -

I'm stuck at the last step: I get a connection refused error when I try to access via http://192.168.86.2:9999 however I can access the web interface fine on my Mac at http://127.0.0.1:9999.

It appears that the QLC+ server is refusing the connection request. How can I get this other wok? All I want to do is access the web interface using my iPad, at home, on the same network as my Mac running the service/server.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the community,

If the web interface is reachable by the 127.0.0.1 address, it shows that it works. When you cannot access it from outside your computer, my first guess is a firewall issue. As a non-Mac user, I cannot point out where to look, but let Google search be your friend.
