Hey, I get the exact same problem as you. mec and orac services are running and touchosc2midi as well…
The installation went well without any error and the orac-control-web is also running fine.
Tried with firefox and chrome : same result, the logo and “Looking for OSC Service…”
I submitted a poorly written issue on github https://github.com/dsedleckas/orac-control-web/issues/10
I still didn’t find time to try to make it work on my own. It seems to be a problem between sockets libraries compatibility
Will see how it goes. Definately a nice feature to have
It might be because I have Python3.7 installed ? How do I revert to 3.5 or 3.6 without breaking everything ?
It could be related but more likely the used socket libraries between python and javascript. I’m not used to use python as a backend so I can’t tell fast about that
This is a veery similar error https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/python-socketio/issues/578#issuecomment-740502733
Ok, so I tried reinstalling a fresh version of the Patchbox OS on my raspberry pi4 with a Pisound hat and I get the same error again… I unfortunately don’t understand enough Python and webserver to dig any further. Hope you find something @DrKoma or @murmeklis !

Try downgrading your python-socketio
pip3 install python-socketio==4.6.1
Awesome , lets try it out 
That worked for me as well–thank you!
Hi sam, do you figure out a way to extend the autoselecting time?
Bridge
sudo nano /usr/local/MEC/osckontrol.json
Add “menu timeout” value to set the desired milliseconds. You must add a comma after the “6100” line so the json file is valid after new value is added. Here’s a full example of how it should look like:
{
"mec" : {
"oscdisplay" : {
"listen port" : 6100,
"menu timeout" : 1000
},
"kontrol" : {
"listen port" : 6000
}
},
"mec-app" : {
"outputs" : {
"midi" : {
"virtual" : 0,
"voices" : 15,
"mpe":false,
"pitchbend range" : 48.0,
"device" : "Pure Data:0"
},
"_console" : {
"throttle" : 0
}
}
}
}
Hit ctrl+x, then y to save. Then restart MEC:
sudo systemctl restart mec
I tried on a Pi4B 4GB that but got:

Not sure which dependency is missing?
It’s probably mec.service. What’s the output of sudo systemctl status mec?

This seems to be related to mec starting after Orac, see https://community.polyexpression.com/t/orac-2-0-with-mpe-support/252/24
Stopping mec and Orac then starting mec gives:

But restarting Orac from the module control of patchbox always wants to start mec after Orac; or not start it in which case mec is stopped. Either way, back to square 1.
OK, now working. Did the python3-pip installation and downgraded python-socketio,get:

Now shows Orac Web Client screen and connects, but no response from on-screen web controls.
Patchbox OS installed on PI4 2GO.
I’m struggling to run ORAC through the web client ( Ip :8080)
i’vce tried with the hotspot and intro the PI. Same thing.
Pyhton3 updated.
Status of ORAC and MEC seems ok (below). So, i’m stuck.
Any idead ?

And now, it’s stuck…on a “looking for OSC service”.
EDIT
I’ve got now something: an 'ask mark" menu. But nothing more
By the way, MODEP is working fine now.thanks to
