DSD-Neo code 1 error

[jimlawrence]

The last few dsd-neo nightly updates have been throwing out a
dsd-neo exited with code 1.
error.
I'm installing the cygwin version of the program running on windows 8, which has been working fine up until a couple of days ago.
Does anyone know where a list of error codes for dsd-neo exists so I can fix this problem?

hi, try killing pulse audio if it hasn't been killed recently... i found a bug in my .bat script and pulse audio defaults/packaging that might need a clean restart. and make sure you're running inside the extracted zip folder using the provided .bat to launch dsd-neo.

also, you might need to check if any security software is nuking a dll or quarantining any of the zip contents because of these changes... these are unsigned releases, so it may cause windows defender to freakout.

fwiw, i'm moving to phase out cygwin and offer native msvc and/or mingw exes... it's a significant undertaking, but making progress with only a few remaining issues to resolve. stay tuned.

Hi @arancormonk. Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure how pulseaudio got loaded but I did find it floating around in my processes shown by task manager and ended the process. I make sure I'm inside the folder I extracted the files and folders to when I start dsd-neo.

I'm happy to read you're aware of this problem and actively working on it. I'll wait a few more nightly updates then re-install dsd-neo clean.

I really like dsd-neo. It runs great and I've been happily using it for some time.

Is there some place where we can see all the error codes, what they mean and how to resolve them?

Thank you for all your work on this excellent product!

1 is a generic error code, this codebase is not that sophisticated... the core application is written in C, so there's no proper exception handling or anything like that...yet. it's on my todo list after untangling all the spaghetti code.

@jimlawrence give the native windows build a spin: https://github.com/arancormonk/dsd-...ightly/dsd-neo-msvc-x86_64-native-nightly.zip

i'm sure there are a ton of lingering behavioral bugs after such a major change, but i'll address them one at a time.

I do not see a NEO master thread so I aplogise in advanced if this is the wrong place to post this. I do not wish to hijack the thread.

Does Neo output the raw deinterleaved data? If so what is the recommended switch. Ideally if it output the MI from the CC and continued to output the VC frames from the voice channel as the SDR is steered from frequency to frequency. DSD-FME uses the -Z switch. and outputs this. I am hoping Neo does the same.

dsd-neo was forked from dsd-fme, it shares the bulk of the cli arguments other than a few additions/modifications i've made: dsd-neo/docs/cli.md at main · arancormonk/dsd-neo

@arancormonk: The new native build seems to work fine when accessing the rtl-sdr directly. Thanks for the fix!! I'll keep playing with it as I prefer to use SDR++ to feed it so I'll set up a .bat file to do that. Great job!!

 

[jimlawrence]

Got it running decoding conventional DMR using SDR++ and the following commands in a .bat file:
@Echo off
cd c:\dsd-neo
bin\dsd-neo.exe -fs -i tcp:127.0.0.1:7355 -N 2>NUL
Let me know if you have any other suggestions I can try to help with debugging, development, etc. Thank you!!
