Changed imports in abletonosc/osc_server.py: - FROM: `from ..pythonosc` (relative - fails with "beyond top-level package") - TO: `from AbletonOSC.pythonosc` (full package path - works) Note: `from pythonosc` alone doesn't work because the module isn't on Python's path directly - it needs the full package prefix.

Adds the ability to load devices onto tracks by name using the Live browser API. Usage: /live/track/insert_device <track_index> <device_uri> [device_index] Example: /live/track/insert_device 0 "Wavetable" -1 The handler searches through browser.instruments, browser.audio_effects, browser.midi_effects, browser.drums, and browser.sounds for a matching device name and loads it onto the specified track. Returns: - (device_index,) on success - the index of the newly added device - (-1,) if device not found This enables programmatic device insertion, which was previously not possible via OSC. Useful for automated music production workflows and AI-assisted composition tools. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds the ability to load devices onto tracks by name using the Live browser API. This enables programmatic device insertion, which was previously not possible via OSC.
Usage:
/live/track/insert_device <track_index> <device_uri> [device_index]Example:
/live/track/insert_device 0 "Wavetable" -1How It Works
The handler searches through:
browser.instrumentsbrowser.audio_effectsbrowser.midi_effectsbrowser.drumsbrowser.soundsFor a matching device name (exact match first, then substring), then calls
browser.load_item()to load it onto the specified track.Returns
(device_index,)on success - the index of the newly added device(-1,)if device not foundUse Cases
