[djclewes]

Can u confirm minimum requirements

[Marius]

My long term test computer is a low end one by today standards: Zotac ZBOX ID83 with an old i3 2330M processor/8GBytes DDR3 @665MHz/Intel 545s series SSD.

What about software wise I got

Windows 7 Pro.
Mariadb 10.4
Netframe Work 4.6

[Marius]

My test are done on Windows 10 Home & Professional.

[djclewes]

Anyone else tested on windows 7 pro

[DJ Garybaldy]

Have you tried restting your resolution? Just a hunch that that might be to blame for things looking squashed.

A bit worrying folks are still using Windows 7 with no support or security updates from now on.. Move to Windows 10 after 5 years it's now almost usable.  Windows 10 still looks 1995 graphics but Microsoft took a major step back from windows 7 with 8 and 10.

I've been using RadioDJ v2.0.2.0 now for over a week, running fine

Currently uploaded to mixcloud as my old platform stopped working.

Personally I understand your view (it's still a view, I know lots of people who very much dislike Windows 10 look and feel), but you're forgetting the "drivers" problem with Windows 10. There are quite a number of hardware devices out there (several popular soundcards for instance) that don't have Windows 10 drivers. If you, as a small radiostation, have a card that was expensive back in the days and you still want to use it, migrating to Windows 10 isn't an option.

Again, I don't want to stimulate older Windows versions, but Windows 7 with RadioDJ and no other usage/programs and in an controlled environment isn't the biggest risk. If I got $1 for every system out there in a critical environment with Windows XP, OS/2 or even DOS... I would give Marius a job to able to work on RDJ and still wouldn't need to work for the rest of my life...

I suppose just don't connect it to the internet and Windows 95 will still be ok 

[DJ Garybaldy]

You wouldn't get it running on Windows 95/98 as it needs .NET

I know people who are still running with XP and i really don't understand why. It was at best a mediocre operating system that caused me no end of headaches.


OK So Windows 7 isn't supported by Microsoft but I'd imagine there are still Millions of computers running it that aren't connected to the internet.

I liked W7 but I'm a total W10 convert now OK so there are Driver issues but  surely thats up to the manfacturers of that hardware to supply the latest drivers


P.S: RadioDJ v2.0.2.0 appears to be working fine here

[milen_angelov]

Hello!
Several times I already have the same problem.
At least once a week, version 2.0.2.0 of the program suddenly stops working.

[DJ Garybaldy]

Milen please see my reply in the other topic you posted the same thing on.

[milen_angelov]

OK, I sent the information from Logs folder

[DJ Garybaldy]

HUH? I've now got the same problem I had with 2016. The repeating artists are back.


Not sure what's happened Nothing in error logs to suggest an issue. I've ran a repair. Just now its playing Roxy Music and its slotted another record by them at the bottom of the queue. There are only 3 Items in the tracks rotation.

Couple of changes to Windows10 with updates yesterday one was a Cumulative Update for .NET yesterday I don't know if that's to blame. Its all a little strange it hasn't done it for a few days.

[DJ Garybaldy]

Just come across another weird issue it hasn't marked the currently playing track as played.

Don't if that's just me its happened to.
