Hi everyone 😀
I hope someone can be of help on this:
Until now, I have been using Edcast 3.21 with the attenuation plugins in a chain with two instances of Edcast to run an mp3 and aac stream at different volume levels. I want to run one instance of the new edcast (3.25 or 3.33) as it has seperate attenuation for each encoder 🙂
However, whenever I install the new version of Edcast (winamp plugin version, copy files over to BBP dir etc), it does not save the encoders. It writes the cfg files but does not recall them when you close and re-open BBP. I have read the thread about where the cfg files should be. I have even created the non-existent directories and copied the cfg files to there, but nothing.
(BBP 0.90.89, Windows XP)On windows 7 machines running Edcast standalone (3.33) I have had a similar problem and got the cfgs to display by setting edcast to run as administrator.. trying this on XP results in an error:
Error 0x80070005 getting LOCAL_APPDATAdsp_edcast
❓
Thanks
Edit: Admin account default no password as I want the machine to boot into xp and run with no need for intervention. Tried with a password but same issue does not load encoders. XP says blank passwords not allowed
Assuming you didn’t install this properly (or they screwed up the installer), it’s not finding "LOCAL_APPDATAdsp_edcast". So i would try and create that directory, see if that fixes it or what happens next. 😉
Also, the issue is the same with v3.25, you have to run seperate instances in the encoder plugin list, eg.
1) attenuator 2db
2) dsp edcast dll 1 (mp3)
3) attenuator 1db
4) dsp edcast dll 2 (aac)Btw, the current install is a clean xp install.
Hi Jesse 🙂
Tried creating the dsp_edcast folder in LOCAL_APPDATA (…documents & settingsusernamelocal settingsapplication datadsp_edcast ?) and copying the cfg’s. Still no joy.
I recall once upon a time on an xp setup I got the encoders to show after a reboot by setting up an admin account password, the trouble is I’d like all machines to boot into xp and run – in case of power failures/crash etc..
I will try the password trick again, see if that works. Do you have any other suggestions? 🙂
Update: Created user password, run process as admin, still no encoders. I guess the password trick is a red herring.
-found the appdata error was BBP looking for the dsp when it had been moved to a subfolder – I was trying the cfg files in BreakawayBroadcastPlugins and BreakawayBroadcastWinampPlugins to see if it was a simple issue of location.For the moment as a workaround I will run BBP into Edcast Standalone using Pipeline or VAC.
Has anyone else had this issue of disappearing encoders?
I wasn’t aware you could run an attenuator plugin under encoders. Whats the diff between having them in encoders versus in effects?
Thanks.
It’s to attenuate the feed going to encoders, which are after everything.. effects are affecting input afaik.
Attenuate from BAL/ BBP to prevent overloading BAL/ BBP.
Attenuate on the encoder to reduce overshoots on the stream. As good as BAL/BBP is with peak control it can’t prevent overshoots caused by the codecs, result = horrible grainy sound.
