This PR allows the currently active MusicBeam effect to be controlled via artnet. Pressing the new UI button spawns a background thread that listens on artnet port 6454 for channel 1 in universe 0. According to the value of the channel the respective effect gets selected.

I also placed a python script in the PR that helps testing the feature.

I also imported MusicBeam into QLC+ and verified it works as intended, which it does.

@suplstfdo can you recommend an artnet tool for me to test this? Preferably free ;)

Of course, you can use QLC+, like I did in the attached screenshot. :) in the input/output tab just add an arnet output that points to 127.0.0.1 for the first DMX universe. Start MusicBeam before QLC+, because QLC+ does also bind the artnet standard port if its available.

Then in the devices tab place a simple dimmer on the first channel. When changing the value of the dimmer in the "Mischpult" tab, you should be able to observe MusicBeam changing the currently active effect to the number of the DMX value.

Let me know if it works 🙂
