Ah! Now this looks promising – url0=http://192.168.10.12:8282/parameter/fm1/misc/rds_ps=3t:<< %output1:format0%/%format0%/%output2:format0%/%output3:format0% So, we have now established your LAN IP. We now have to find the parameter substitutions. What happens if you copy/paste "url0=http://192.168.10.12:8282/parameter/fm1/misc/rds_ps=3t:<< %output1:format0%/%format0%/%output2:format0%/%output3:format0%" (without quotes) into the BA1 field? Alternately, Can you point the "RS" spec to that ini file on your hard drive?
I don’t personally use the FM Core (although I have a licence to configure one). I know that fm1/misc/rds_ps is to set parameters for the Program Service part of RDS and that, typically, they point to locations (usually on your server hard drive), so Leif would probably set up a folder (Maybe “RDS”) into which information would be written and then picked up by the fm1/misc/rds_ps spec. We need to reconstruct that/those links without me having the faintest idea what they were.
Did he/do you have some sort of scheduled task (or AHK) running which retrieves something from Ots logs or from the RAC in Ots? I assume this is coming from a PC using Ots as the playout system?
I don’t suppose that you have a recent backup of your hard drive? Screenshots, maybe?
Without knowing the original parameters, it’s going to be pure guesswork to try and reconstruct what you had, but we might be able to work through available options to see what we can achieve.
You say that you are “only getting Artist and Title” now. What other information were you providing before that is now missing?
G’day, Teddy. Nice to “see” a familiar face around here.
I’m not sure from your post whether you have clobbered a setting that you had working or whether the default parameter has been knocked out. If it’s the latter, you can see the default settings by entering “http://{your BA1 IP address}:8282”. This will take you into the internal web server and you can then scroll through all of the possible settings.As an aside, you can also export all of your configuration to a file and use it to restore if things go wrong (or you set up another server).
Have you tried the suggestions provided by MrKlorox? They worked for “Whay”. Also, particularly using ASIO, latency should be very low. Use the smallest possible buffer size without artefacts or jitter.
I use ASIO with the HD core and I cannot detect any problems with lip synch when watching music videos.Core> Miscellaneous> I/O> Input 2 > should not display if there is only one core, but Silence Detect certainly should be OFF.
Good pickup.
What type of core are you using?
I am using an HD core on my home system, plus streaming it to a closed IP so I can listen in my car, and it plays 24/7. there are also many, many radio stations streaming and/or broadcasting FM or AM 24/7/365, so I would think that the problem is localised to your system somehow. Please provide as much information as you can.Glad you got it sorted. Sometimes the registry just gets crossed up and a fresh install sorts out its issues.
It is not easy to provide latency figures because it depends on the CPU type, Speed, load from other applications. Then of course, if you are trying to listen “off-air”, you need to add the STL delay to the transmitter site and any propagation delays.
OK, let’s go right back to basics.
I assume that you are selecting Pipeline 1 because your playout software needs to be redirected through VAC? If so, that should be the input option. Do you have the right VAC setup? For instance, if your soundcard is 24 bit, you may have to change the default parameters to include 24 bit (I think it defaults to 16 bit). If you play music with Pipeline 1 selected, you should see the little bar graphs move in VAC.Now, at this stage, leave the sound bar out of the equation, and we’ll try to get everything working to your local speakers. This should be super easy, simply by selecting Pipeline 1 as input, Realtek as output. Use the wizard as this will make some intelligent guesses about buffer sizes. These can be tweaked later.
Once you have everything working and you can hear music through your laptop speakers, go back into the settings and select your soundbar instead. If the audio path is already working, any problems encountered will be related to the soundbar.If you have KS selected for output, the device may not show in the list. You may have to select Direct Sound or WAV for the device to appear. I send my laptop output to a Bluetooth capable amplifier, and need to select WAV for it to show.
In my last personal conversation with Leif, he indicated that he was out of (some of) the woods, and that he was in a much better position to start on some development. He may even be coding as we speak.
No promises, but, it looks promising.That’s the only down side of my solution – no control (other than Pause/Play), so you can’t ditch an unwanted track if you want to. Not a problem in my case, because I can VNC into the same PC, using a similar principal (port forwarding port 5900), so I can use the track select options of OtsAV via VNC.
You CAN display the playing Artist/Track information if your playout program provides the meta data as a string in a file, or a URL.
My program of choice (OtsAV TV) doesn’t produce a file, so I have written an AHK routine which extracts it from the built-in Remote Access Server and writes it to a file. You can then point the BA1 stream encoder to the file location and the details will display in VLC.
