I don’t do RDS, but I add metadata to my stream so that the track/artist shows on my stream receiver. My playout software writes it to a file, so I include the entire path to the file (in my case C:\AHK Scripts\MetaData.txt) and BA1 picks the name up from there.
Going by the pop-up, it appears to be looking for a file location because my stream box says “/hd1/strm/read_md_file_name” in the corner, similar to the parameter yours is displaying.
I agree, and I hope the new version lives up to your expectations.
There is a bit of a marketing issue that needs to be resolved. This is because BreakawayOne base HD core only sells for a pretty low price. Leif needs to decide on a price break-point for the new BAE that makes it worth the while.This is just my opinion looking in from the outside and not an official edict from Leif or his company.
BAE was written when Windows XP was The Boss. There is supposed to be a new, 64 bit version in the melting pot which may take care of these issues but I have no ETA at the moment.
Thank you for your query. I have no power to influence the outcome, but I will pass your query forward for consideration.
That is strange. Breakaway usually stores all settings, including presets, slider levels, stream, encoders, bypass setting etc, through a re-boot, power outage etc
Can you simulate a Windows re-boot again and check its behaviour?
Hi CJ. I’m sorry for the late reply, as I clicked on the link before and it went to nowhere.
Your best method involves the following steps. I assume that you have the BA Remote management package.
1) Take a backup of the BA1 configuration on the current PC. (Common > System Information > Backup Configuration.)
2) Install BA1 on your new PC. It will run as a Trial version until licenced.
3) Import the saved configuration. It should run as before, but you will get a voice-over inserted occasionally.
3) Print out the Licence Summary information. (Common > Licence Information > Get Licence Summary
4) Email a copy of the summary (take a screen print) to support@claessonedwards.com requesting a new unlock file.When the file arrives, SAVE IT SOMEWHERE SECURE as a text file and then copy and paste it into the window in the BA1 Config program (NOT the BARemote program). Re-launch the program and the “Trial” status should be gone.
It is a condition of the licence that you immediately uninstall Breakaway One from the old PC if possible.You obviously mean a “replacement” licence. They probably will find it useful if you could include the old licence details, or some other information which they can use to identify you as a return user.
WHat sound device are you using? Could it be a driver issue for that? If a USB device, maybe it takes a while to completely initialise, but then I would think that delaying BAE startup would give it time to get going.
Can you switch to the internal soundcard or digital output, just to see if that behaves the same wayAre you using Virtual Audio Cables as input?
I suspect there’s more to it than just the MAC address. as I had a similar experience recently with one of my installations.
I had a failing laptop running Breakaway One from a near-new SSD. It used a USB Ethernet adaptor. I purchased a new laptop, but swapped the SSD from the old laptop and did all the usual driver updates etc. I also migrated the Ethernet adapter from the old machine, so, in effect, Breakaway One was still “seeing” the same MAC address and licence details. However, it went back to trial mode.I forwarded the new config information to Support and they issued a new licence text file which worked immediately. Comparing the text in the two, I could see some differences, so it may use the motherboard serial number or something like that as well in the algorithm.
Just one other crazy thought. What anti-virus/malware software are you using? Can that be suspended whilst you do a clean install of BAE? Not saying it IS that, but something in the av softare may have blocked part of the installation.
That really is strange BAE behaviour. I’ve installed many dozens of copies for clients over the years, and never come across such a hard-on error.
Do you have any other 32 bit applications running on that PC? BAE is a 32 bit application, so I wonder if WOW64 (which allows 32 bit applications in a 64 bit environment) is having a problem resolving something.
I have no ETA on the development schedule for BAE64, nor if it is actually being worked on at the present moment. There are some structural changes occurring within the Claessonedwards company, and that may be taking precendence.
