Stupid question. Can you import from rr.com database into proscan?

Also with the alpha tags. Can you omit the bank tag. I rather just the text tag or TG Name and not the bank tag.

I'm not clear on what you are asking?

If you're asking about using ProScan to stream to an IceCast / Shoutcast server which may be the case sense this is a streaming audio forum.

You can use ProScan to stream the GRE audio to an IceCast / Shoutcast server. Set the ProScan comm. port to None.

If the GRE application you are using puts the text tags in the title / caption area then ProScan can retrive the text tags of the GRE application using the Metadata source selector button.

In sc_serv.ini change PublicServer=default to PublicServer=always

You can't listen to a proscan feed. But you can listen to icecast feeds which proscan will now stream too.

FYI - As noted by Webstar, you can't use the Proscan client , but you can indeed listen to a non-Icecast Proscan feed on a Blackberry that is streamed using the new Proscan Web Server feature. If a feed provider is willing to send you their non-Icecast Web Server URL, then you would be all set.

Yep. Once you got that disconnect/auto-reconnect issue fixed I'll be the first one to buy a copy. Right now it's cutting off about once a day.

I will be working on that scheduled for Tuesday. I haven't seen the problem and mine has been up for days, maybe because maybe because I have a FIOS circuit. I will run a simulation to duplicate the problem and then add a keep-alive header to see if that will fix it.

FYI - Running mine for over a week with no hiccups or disconnects at all. I have Comcast cable modem service.

I did some research and found that IceCast servers don't support http keep-alive headers which now that I think about it, wouldn't have been good anyways.

I found that IceCast servers have a default timeout of 10 seconds so if no data arrives from the source client (ProScan, EdCast, and SimpleCast) for 10 seconds then the connection drops.

I added an auto restart similar to EdCast and SimpleCast in event of a connection drop.

Will that be in an upgraded release? I'm curious b/c I switched back to running my feed in Proscan this morning and so far it's run all day without any problems.

ProScan · #56 (**permalink**) 06-20-2009, 03:57 PM

It will be in the next release 2.9.2 out in a week or two.

ProScan · #57 (**permalink**) 06-22-2009, 10:28 PM

I just released version 2.9.2

* WebServer and ScanCast - Auto Start (Starts when ProScan Starts)
* ScanCast - Auto Reconnect option (10 second intervals attempt to connect)
* WebServer and ScanCast - Metadata (text tags) are shown as they are streamed

Auto Reconnect option
If the IceCast server connection timeouts because of no data then the ScanCast will now show as disconnected and will attempt to connect at 10 second intervals.

Just updated to the newest.

Here is something odd. I did a complete reinstall of my computer last night and now the Remote Scanner Over IP is choppy. The icecast feed is fine and so are the recordsings but if I startup the Proscan Client and connect it's verry coppy.

Any reason for this?

ProScan · #59 (**permalink**) 06-22-2009, 11:07 PM

The Remote Scanner Over IP audio uses a different audio method then the Web Server and ScanCast. It's been choppy, any versions after 2.0. I plan in about a week to put the 2.0 scanner over ip audio back in.

I installed the upgrade to 2.9.2. It ran for about 24 hours without a disconnect from the icecast server. At some point in the last 12 hours it disconnected. I didn't notice it until I got to work and tried to pull up the stream via RR.

The nice thing.....I can restart the icecast stream remotely via Proscan.

One problem...It works as long as I keep Proscan up on the pc where I am located, it doesn't actually restart the stream via the instance of Proscan running at home.

I guess I spoke to soon, it starts the icecast stream however there is no audio on the stream, just the text tags. I guess I can't remotely re-start the icecast stream via Proscan. If I can't resolve this I'm going to have to go back to sending the stream to icecast without Proscan. I hate that because I like being able to control the radio remotely.
