Encoder Plugin v2.0 for RDJ

[SnowHow]

Update 7-8-13

Encoder Plugin v2.0 is finally here!

Corrected confirmation dialog to cancel without deleting anything [FIXED]

User can click directly on LED image in connected column to start/stop encoder [NEW]

Shoutcast v2 encoding support with statistics [NEW]



Because of the new updates, the tables in the Plugin_Encoders_List.xml file have changed.

The easy way:

Simply delete Plugin_Encoders_List.xml and recreate your encoders

The advanced way:

If you don't want to recreate everything again, you can edit the xml file. Open Plugin_Enoders_List.xml in notepad and find this line under each encoder you have created:

Code: [Select]

<IsPublic>True</IsPublic>

below that add this line:

Code: [Select]

    <streamID>1</streamID>

Now find this line (the value may vary):

Code: [Select]

<reConnectSeconds>10</reConnectSeconds>

Copy the value from there and change this line:

Code: [Select]

<reConnect>True</reConnect>

To this:

Code: [Select]

<reConnect>10</reConnect>

Do that to each encoder you have in the xml file and save it. If you did it correctly RDJ will come right up

I recommend just recreating your encoders over again, but that is up to you...

It's becoming too much of a hassle to keep two different projects identical, so there will not be a C# version.

The files:

Plugin_Encoder.VB.2.0.zip - Encoder plugin

EncoderPlugin2.0.zip - Download link for installer or no install zip file



Enjoy!

Think i have it sorted now for some reason the plugin_encoders file was in the wrong location. 


Added a clean copy of the plugin_encoders_list.xml file just incase anyone else has issues just unzip and place inside the plugins folder.

Ok thanks. I changed it from 172.0.0.1 to localhost and that seemed to do the trick.

we can't get the listeners count to come up and we are running shoutcast version 2 as well as version 1
and on both test feed there is no number count showing

It seems to be a problem with the plugin some encoder 2.0.
It add to database history some empty lines every 15 seconds (artist and title fields are blank, the rest filled with 0/default date). The weird part is that if you change the track, the lines are deleted from the database. After a few seconds, begin to add lines.
If I close RDJ, the line are deleted. I was not careful to see if the index is incremented.
I turned off, one by one, each plugin (moved from the directory).
some encoder 2.0, RDJ 1.6.4.2RC1, Windows 7 Ultimate x86, net Framework 2.xx.

A picture is worth 1000 words.

That's something weird thing over there! Are you sure that some encoder is writing to the history table? Normally, that's rdj's job, but i checked my history and i don't have anything suspect there.
If you remove the some encoder plugin, this behavior disappears?

LATER: i would try to run a repair on songs and history table and a scan for invalid files.
The fact that the invalid entries are disappearing is normal because there is a query that removes the entries older than your "days to keep to history" setting.

I'm not sure that some encoder is writing to mysql.
I'm sure that when some encoder is enable, that lines are added. Maybe from here I draw the conclusion that some encoder is to blame. Sory.


This morning i've tested some encoder 1.5 (old ver).
Same problem but only 1 row is inserted and always the latest (as ID). When track change the following sequence occurs:
- The last "empty" line is deleted;
- The correct line with artist/title is added;
- After few seconds the empty line is added.

With some encoder 2.0, same sequence but multiple lines are added/deleted.

Screens here.

Remember that the interval when the lines are added is 10-15 seconds. So what function has in RDJ a 10-15 seconds a check/refresh interval.

I've tested with mysql on:
- localhost (windows xampp) MySQL Server version: 5.1.41
- remote (on same lan Centos 6.4) MySQL Server version: 5.1.69
- remote (on same lan Slackware 14.??) MySQL Server version: 5.5.27

Marius, I can run a teamviewer to see in realtime. PM for details.

[Marius]

I still don't get it, if you remove the some encoder plugin from rdj, these things doesn't happen anymore?
About the teamviewer, it would be great, but now i'm at my job so i can't.

[ThP]

Without some encoder, no problems.

I'm at a bit of a loss...

A******t uses depends on the history plugin to make entries. The encoder only populates the listeners number....

[DJ Garybaldy]

I've noticed when the listener count increases it can sometime freeze radiodj don't know if that's connected to ThP's problem or not. Other than that the encoders are working great especially the opus encoder.

Shoutcast server & RDJ are on the same machine ?
Try to increase metainterval on shoutcast config.

No both the Icecast and Shoutcast servers are on our VPS.
