Leif,

Thanks – I’ll check this again tomorrow.

Just checked out the Omnia.9 and looked at the video of the demo. You mentioned at the end about the possibility of being able to send the MPX to remote transmitters and leave the Omnia in the studio. This is something we would wish to do – studio process once and send the MPX direct to the transmitter however not sure if there is any commercial product that can do this or is this something you are thinking about. At the moment we process on-site but all for reducing hardware are remote sites if possible.

Sorry this is slightly off-topic.

Riplee,

Great news on the version issue not re-occurring on .69 – where can I get a copy of that to allow me to run on another installation to see if it removes the effect I am experiencing? I am also confident Leif can resolve it and I too like the Jazz preset – we have another stream for different programming and it really works well for that format.

I’ve also heard a few new ones on your stream that I have noted down too! Convergence of musical tastes for sure so lets see if there are some others you stumble upon. Where in the world are you located… US west coast? I guess you here the overnight programming which is radically different to the UK daytime format and it allows me to find and play some interesting stuff…to me at least!

I’m really pleased with the support I have received on this forum so happy to help members out in any way I can using our spare capacity and other resources.

Best wishes,

Andy

Riplee,

Thanks for the feedback – I also have Roku Soundbridge (2 actually in different rooms) and added your stream in there last night so I laughed out loud when I read your post! Similar minds indeed!!

Sorry I have been silent for a while since my first post here.

Listened to Riplee’s stream for a while tonight – enjoyed the music but did not hear the effect described by us on this post so I assume that BBL has been restarted.

I have been settting up a number of test systems and monitoring this effect – approx 5 days before it starts seems to fit with Riplee’s experience however mine are running in VM environment – actually 3 different VM environments now – all with same issues and to be clear here – SAM4 with its internal software processor and SPL with its plugin processor ALL work flawlessly during the last 90 days – these systems have run without intervention and NO audio clicks at ANY time.

I have now 3 different dedicated hardware environments working now as from today so I will know within a week if these are also experiencing the same issues and will report back to this post.

At the moment I am trying to locate an old version of Leif/Keith’s original software product to see if it will still accept the old key – StreamPro if I remember correctly. I will also run this the same environment as the ones that have gone "faulty" with me to see if that product runs fine.

Clearly I really want to see this work. The audio problem can be heard on http://83.170.80.31:8504 8506 and 8508 – 8504 is probably the worst now as it has been in fault condition for longest (8502 is different audio format but is also giving same effect.

One point – I do not hear the effect on the automated jingle/promo from the trial version – perhaps just not noticd it but 8506 and 8508 are using trial version and so far I have not notied clicks when that plays out. It is not too often the promo plays so I do not want to further confuse Leif here.

As I have a few systesms in the fault condition I am happy to provide Leif with access if it can help in any way – these are all test systems.

Really nice sound from Riplee as I finish this epc!

Leif,

The other software processors that are working well are SAM4 with its internal processor – in fact I am running 3 instances of SAM4 and its own processing and finding no issues – I was trying hard to load the VM to the point where it started to become instable but VMWare seemed to cope well. The hardware is pretty decent spec and I will list that at the end of this post. I can also give you direct remote desktop access to the system when it does become unstable so you can hear it for yourself.

Also using StationPlayList with its own processor module – it is basically Sound Solution 1.3 (and I think the SAM4 processor was based on that too but can’t be sure).

All systems are running the audio path in the same way – SPL/SAM4 into Breakaway Pipeline — Breakaway Live from the Pipeline and then processed and output into Oddcast encoder to Shoutcast server. No sound cards used in the audio path – digital all the way through.

Hardware is 2 x Intel Xeon CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz – 8GB RAM – motherboard Supermicro X8DTL
The actual VM is running at 0.491MHz and using 35MB of RAM out of 512K allocation, 1CPU and Windows 2003 Standard SP3 fully patched.

I really thought I had found a VM solution for broadcasting and the SAM4 system is being used in production now for almost 4 months with no audio glitches.

The Breakaway Live system sounds by far the best and along with StationPlayList it is a fantastic setup other than these audio clicks that start around 3-5 days after reboot. To clear it I only need to close and restart BreakawayLive and then it runs perfectly again for another few days.

If you need access then let me know and I can post details to you personally.

Best wishes,

Andy
