Just empty windows

[Cactus]

I've been using RadioDJ for a while and wanted to try v2. I unpacked the zip to d:\radiodjv2, created a database and opened the software. And it just shows some empty windows...



What am I doing wrong?

Can you check to see if Windows defender is deleting files I had an issue with WD where it wanted to delete RadioDJ program files.

Add the RadioDJ folder to the exceptions list https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4028485/windows-10-add-an-exclusion-to-windows-defender-antivirus

You'll need to restore all files afterwards.

UPDATE:   Used the INSTALLER VERSION AND NOW LOADS

Yep, same screen as I have.  I went into windows defender and put the RadioDJ2 folder as an exemption.  Folder put in C/ as before and ran as administrator. (Noticed some files say read only and can't undo) Windows 10 on 64 bit. Database Setup went fine. I used the Zip version and just unzipped to C:/ as in previous versions. 

EDIT:  I had a windows update yesterday if that helps.  I'll try the installer version to see if it works.

Adding it to Windows Defender exceptions and restoring all files does not help. It still looks the same. Do you need any more information about my system that might help?
I'm using Windows 10.

Same Problem here.

[Marius]

Did you tried the installer version as Vanlen suggested?

Thanks Marius.  If you are having this issue with the zip file (on Windows 10 anyway).  After downloading RadioDJv2.zip, right click on the file and look for the security at the bottom of the properties window. Check the Unblock box before unzipping the file.

Oh, thanks for reminding me that windows security feature.

[Vanlen]

Terrific info FL Coast.  That explains it. 

Cheers

Hello there, I am still getting the empty windows upon running new version. I have tried to add an exemption of my c:/radiodj folder on win defender and also I checked the "unblock" the security options. No luck. I jave also tried the executable updater, no luck.
Any hint. Did you guys solved?
Many Thanks 

[Cactus]

Thanks, FL Coast! This fixed the problem for me too.

Hello everyone,
I managed to have my database read this way: once I opened "Database setup.exe" I restored the backup and then on "database utils" I made "database update" .. selected the upgrade that automatically from 1.8.2 to 2.
Reads the database, but automatic rotation does not work

I have exact same problem!

Hey RadioDJ Users!

I have the same issue. I went in and tried to understand what the error log is saying... It has something to do with the database. At first, I got all empty windows, the audio meters were peaked out, and there were Xs on No Sweeper and No Voicetrack. I followed the above instructions and though it did give me open windows, none of our music will populate to RadioDJv2. It's the same database we use for v1.8.2; I put in the log-in credentials from the current database and it logged into it, but I got this message in the ExceptionLog:

Anyone know what to make of this?

Update...
Now the v1.8.2 station is down. No music in the categories at all...
Oh wow. There aren't any categories at all.
Even if I go to my backups v1.8.2 is finding remnants of v2 and will not operate. I uninstalled v2 and deleted all of the files that Windows Uninstall left behind and emptied the trashcan. I then copied the backup RadioDJ folder and put it back on C:/ where it was before.
I guess this means I have to start over building the station? The database shows that it's online but there's nothing in RadioDJ concerning music.
OK. Question:
Where are the files located associated with the programming of the rotations and playlists, ect.? I want to at least salvage how the station is programmed (days of work and tweaks)...

[rkriggs]

I noticed that the back up in Version 2 in not going to the radiov2 setup backup file. it is going to radiodj v 1.82. I dont know ANYTHING about the back end to this stuff but if you are doing a backup from v2 and v 1.82 stops working.. you may have just over written your working files with non working files. I guess it always safe to change the backup location.
