soundflow deck ipad and network configs
My computer has 3 networks. One for Eucon, another for Dante and another to Access to the media server and internet.
I was considering and ipad to have a deck, will it work if I do create an ad-hoc connection using the wi-fi from the computer?
I guess... not... correct?
Maybe I eventually would need to connect the wi-fi of the computer to the my Guests wi-fi, that is in the admin network that has less firewall restrictions? But I guess it would not work?
thanks for any tips on this topic

I don't have experience with this exact setup. The SF app on iOS/Android uses Bonjour to discover Macs running SF on the network. So theoretically, as long as there's some network connecting the devices it should work.
In reality, routers and networking configurations can be super complicated, so because I haven't heard of anybody doing exactly this before, it's hard to tell if it'll work without just trying it.
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-10-19 03:58:28.654ZPlease note though that currently, icons loading on the iPad need access to the internet, as the iPad doesn't download images from the Mac, but straight from their source on SF's servers in the cloud.
For this reason, connecting through the computer in the way you specified may not work if the computer doesn't share its internet access with the iPad.
You could still keep 3 separate networks, one for Eucon, one for Dante, and then set up a router that's connected to the Internet and which both your Mac and iPad connect to.

If I do connect the computer wi-fi to the guest network, the computer actually would have 4 networks; but how do I tell SF to connect to this network and not to the server one? Complicated...

Have you tried? Bonjour should just work

but where my decks are? So I can edit them?
I create 2 of them, them shows up on my iphone but I can't found it on the editor, so I can populate it.- Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-10-19 16:54:06.578Z
Can you share a screenshot of the Editor where you can't see your Decks?

If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend watching our Learning SoundFlow tutorials to see how this works:

In particular, this video:

Watched the design decks and the other about how to work with stream deck.
The deck I create inside the pack I all right. The other 2 I can't find the, at all, but they are showing in the app in the iphone. weird.

Ricardo, you have chosen in your Profile to only show some of your packages. This is why they don't show up.
Go to the Profile menu, click Edit Profile, then on the last page, choose "Show all features".

I understood that the first 2 I create are out of my packages so they don't shows up on the editor, but they shows on the DECK on the mobile. How do I delete them? The one I create inside a package was fine.
