RadioDJ v2.0.2.0 Beta Released!

[Marius]

The latest beta is available to download!
It uses the same database schema as the previous beta release, so to update it, just replace the files with the new ones.

I strongly recommend to test the version first and if everything is fine, to put it in production, because i may missed some bugs in my tests.

PS: Some antivirus may continue to alert you, but it's a false positive. Sorry for that. Soon the application will be digitally signed and hopefully this will be history.
PPS: The version jumped a bit for internal reasons...

Fandabidozi! Someone was only asking me about a new version earlier

Hi Vanlen, i suppose it's a new setup, the application showed up, or the error came at startup?

[Vanlen]

Yes it was Marius,

Installed as usual with setting up Data Base all good and then ran RadioDJ.exe and then what happened above.

I've installed the new version.  It's working fine with no problems so far, the only thing I have noticed is it seems to be a bit sticky sometimes "I.E locks the application up with selecting the database searching for tracks etc".  This is not interfering with playback just running a bit slower on my PC that previous beta.

[Marius]

@martyuk1 what database server are you using? MySQL or MariaDB?

[Chip Douglas Mosley]

Are there any special steps I should use to upgrade from v2.0.1.6beta?

I have tried to run v2.0.2.0 on my Win10 computer using MariaDB but after I set up the data base, the new version tries to start, but I get the RDJ start up screen on my computer and it doesn't go any further.

I've been running v.2.0.1.6 on the same computer with no problems.

Thanks, Marius! I'm looking forward to getting the new beta up and running!

Oh, i found the issue Chip. I forgot to disable the autodj at startup for the first start and behind the splash screen is displaying a warning that you don't have yet any rotation (since is a fresh install).
You can either try to press enter, or if it doesn't work, edit "settings_general.xml" and change this:

Code Select Expand

  <Settings>
    <Key>AutoDJStart</Key>
    <Value>True</Value>
  </Settings>

to this:

Code Select Expand

  <Settings>
    <Key>AutoDJStart</Key>
    <Value>False</Value>
  </Settings>

and restart the program.

PS: I updated the installer with the correct setting, so if you don't manage to change the setting manually, you can download and run again the installer. Just remove the old installation, because the installer is set to preserve your settings file, so it will not overwrite it.

I'm using MySQL.

Is the latest version more tuned "get it" to MariaDB then?

Tnx Marius

The latest install works!!  Now to Play.

I uninstalled, removed leftover Folder from C Drive and then did FRESH Install and good so far.
Windows 10/64bit Build 1909 and MariaDB

Cheers

[Marius]

Normally MySQL should be just fine, but there are plenty users saying that MariaDB is faster, especially after recent versions of MySQL.

Been running overnight with no errors, Everything appears to be working as it should.

No showstoppers that I can see.

Hurrah it let me post after the 4th attempt!

[Vanlen]

Running test box with just over 3000 elements events/rotations/jingles/IDs etc.  So far so good.

Reset Play Count now working in Track Manager and from in a Manual event 

Change log shows you were very busy.   RadioDJ 2020 in 2020 Nice touch!

Thanks Marius

Hi everyone, I'm testing the radiodj 2020 with windows 7 pro, maria db 10.2 (x64) and I found a problem with the TTS with Ivona's Brian voice. (Assuming that the settings are identical to version 2.0.0.6 where it sounds great). To hear the voice over a song I had to increase the volume to 200, which in version 2.0.0.6 is 10. Is there any new setting parameter? If so, can you tell me where it is?
Thank you.
