should reconnect instantiate a new socket on every attempt? about node-applest-atem

It is True.

Yes, it's even worse: The existing UDP Sockets will not be closed when reconnecting. After a while at least on Windows an application will not be able to reconnect anymore as there are no local ports left. Do you have a quick fix for this?

I modified and moved creation of UDP socket to the constructor. It only
needs to be created once.

Thanks, I have edited the connect method to close an existing socket before creating a new one. This has also worked for me. I did not know a reconnection is really needed or not and how ATEM handles clients internally. But good to know your approach also works fine.

Now we pushed the new version that fixed udp initialization problem. Let's try it.
If you use local_port parameter calls connect() should be move to constructor options.
