RadioBOSS 6.0 [beta]

[djsoft]

The point is that ML scans the entire system when I checkd only Bluess folder. It is on partition E:\

I don't seem to be able to confirm this. Can you please make a screenshot of the folder selection dialog just before you click OK?

Le doy mas información como se desordena la lista cuando arrastramos una pista. En este caso moví la pista remarcada en azul en la lista hacia arriba.

Do you mean the track duplicated while you were dragging it?

Y eso cómo sería. No encuentro esa opción

You need to create an event with this commands and make it run periodically.

¿Quiere decir que la pista se duplicó mientras la arrastraba?


Necesita crear un evento con estos comandos y hacer que se ejecute periódicamente.

La Pista no se duplicó, al moverla hacia arriba desordenó lo que ya estaba ordenado cambiando de posición todas las pistas.

 

[mediosprodan]

En la función Buscar en la lista Principal no se remarca o resalta la búsqueda como lo hacía en versiones anteriores.

Marca la pista encontrada con una selección.
Cómo se realiza esta selección sugerida para resaltar la búsqueda?

if I want to prelisten a song in the playlist and mute playlist, also the streamoutput is muted
I have exactly the same settings for the output as in the 5.9 version
In 5.9 only the playlist was muted it did nott affect the stream

Yes, sorry for that, it seems MySQL needs another fix

Yes, I hope it can be solved soon. Our main PC is affected by this bug

Thankd for the details. Please wait for the next update, it will have some dragging-related problems fixed.

I'm not sure I understand. The found track is selected in the playlist, it also scrolls the list to make it visible. It doesn't work like this in your case?

It shouldn't mix the stream, seems like a bug - thank you for informing about it.

It will work with the current version if you use MariaDB 10.4 or newer. The error only occurs with older database ebgine version. The next RadioBOSS version will correctly work with older versions (10.2 and 10.3).

Upgrade to version MariaDB 10.5 and a BackUp of the old DB doesn't work. (Only if I set the "version" table to 9, but it doesn't find the tracks)

After finishing the current track, the panels are not updated. (Using the stop option)

Should our forum not be English Language only ? This is the norm for forums.
When Dmitry answers a a question in English that was asked in non-English, it makes it hard to know what he is responding to. The trouble is, the question could be very relevant to me as well, but I wouldn't know.

I'm amazed at the number of people installing a Beta on their main system and then moaning when it doesn't work, and then expecting instant repairs. Go away you people please !!
Why would you do that when Dimtry said explicitly not to load it yet on existing systems until all bugs are solved ? You are just asking for trouble doing silly things like that.

Se podria agregar al igual que RADIOCASTER, en METADATOS de RB la opción de leer desde archivo el nombre de la pista?

It seems that your database in not in consistent state, if you manually edited version and restored backups. Try settings the version to 6 or if you have a backup from RB 5.9, restore it.
If you used 10.4 at the time of installing 6.0, it should have worked with no error. We tested upgrading from RB 5.8 and 5.9 database and no problems found.

Yes, this is a happening I don't really know how to handle properly. Spanish speaking people provide great and valuable input here. I have made numerous attempts in asking to write in English but as you can see it's not really working I'm not sure maybe create a Spanish forum section, like there is already separate Russian forum.

Using beta in production used to work well enough for previous betas, so it's sort of OK to also install this one in production. This beta is different because lots of internals were rewritten, introducing more bugs.

RadioBOSS only uses its own metadata, if you need such a feature, I suppose RadioCaster is a better tool for this task.
I also want to ask you to write in English so all forum users cvan understand and benefit from the conversation.

Is it possible to use the button for the stream to have a dropdown menu where you can choose the encoder you want?
Maybe with a sign that you can see which encoder is connected.

Currently the "Broadcast" button connects to all enabled encoders, you can enable/disable them in Settings->Broadcasting.

I have exactly the same settings for the output as in the 5.9 version
In 5.9 only the playlist was muted it did nott affect the stream

Now after installing the 6.0.0.3 the stream is ok, but checking mute the playlist is muting everithing also the file that i am prelistening
The Streamsignal is OK now
All the same settings as in 5.9 (see the picture), there i could prelisten and mute only the playlist

No, I don't think creating a separate Spanish Section is the answer as the questions being asked would be just as lost to the English forum, just as they are now being lost because we don't know what the question being asked is.
There is just such a lot of Spanish questions being asked, that I am quite sure that as you say "they provide great and valuable input" so from my point of view I would love to be able to see them.
However this is a suggestion, but bear in mind I am not wishing to create an extra burden of work for you.
I presume you have to translate a Spanish question to English... to answer it... so that perhaps you could place the English translation right underneath the Spanish.
I think this is the answer, provided it doesn't create too much added workload for you.
