GUID of remote recorder

Samuel ChanSamuel Chan Crackerjack
in API

Hi, looking at the Remote Recorder REST API, I understand that each RR will be assigned with a GUID as Id.

Does anyone know how these Ids are assigned? Is it by random on first assignment or is it based on hashing of something?

I am asking this because I want to know if the RR Ids will ever be modified. Let's say I have a faulty device replaced with another machine of the same model. The IP of the device will stay the same. Does this mean the GUID Id will stay the same?

I want to make sure our system can refer to the RR by the GUID Id consistently without it changing/updating by accident.

  • GUID is a unique identifier assigned to the remote recorder to ensure it’s distinguishable from all other devices or plugins, enabling reliable routing and recall in hosts.

    If you meant a specific GUID for a product like "Remote Recorder," please clarify which app or platform you’re referring to (e.g., iOS, Windows, specific DAW), as GUIDs are usually platform- or app-specific and not universally the same.

    @lilly parker Thank you for your answer.

    I am afraid I don't understand what you meant by "app or platform". When we are swapping a physical device for remote recorder on the same IP, IF the OS/architecture of the device is different from the previous one, are you saying the difference will trigger an update of the GUID for the RR?
