Thank you for that! Question I just updated to the newest DSDPLUS update and its telling me on the screen that TCP CONNECT ERROR 10061 the remote machine actively refused it? I tried disabling both Windows firewall and Webroot firewall and nothing solved. Now my issue besides the TCP connect error 10061 the new DSDPLUS 2.242 update won't allow me to extr.act the file to my dsdplus folder cause I don't have a password for it.

I just had this happen with one of my DSDPlus configurations. It was not updated to the latest FMP24.exe version from DSDPlus release 2.235. The FMP24.exe should have a date of 1/13/2020.

You need to use the password you were given in an email a release or two back.

That is my issue I no longer have that email due to loosing all my emails.

Check your batch file/s to see if ports used are still correct.

You said you just updated (now get error with TCP), then you say you can't extract a file because you don't have password?
If you have not retain the email that DSDPlus have sent with the password, then you will need to contact them about re-issuing you the password.

Yes that is what I said..Once I got the old version to download the new version it never installed the new update. I lost the password and other emails when my computer crashed a month ago.

I don’t see any ports being listed all I see is 20001 and 20002 in the batch files

Those are port numbers

It is probably a good idea to ask them for a complete up to date copy. Since the site loader file was added there have been several realeases and just putting the most recent update edition into your old folder will likely not give you a fully working copy.

 

[slicerwizard]

What he said. Anyone who hasn't been downloading every update should ask for a full update, otherwise who knows what gremlins they'll be dealing with.

 

[thewraith2008]

With all the problems people seem to have locating all these different files, maybe the DSDPlus team could add a package on their website that contain all these default files.

Then people when having this problem or just if they want to reset everything, can just download these files without going through a dozen zips files trying to find them.
Helpful also if people no long have the zip files (because google deleted them).

• DSDPlus.frequencies
• DSDPlus.groups
• DSDPlus.P25data (is this auto generated?)
• DSDPlus.radios
• DSDPlus.siteLoader
• DSDPlus.sites
• FMP24.ScanList (is blank I think anyway)
• FMP24.SurveyList
• Maybe also the default FMPx.cfg, FMP-Map.cfg, LRRP.cfg, Survey.cfg files
• Maybe also the default .bat files

Did I miss any other files?

 

[slicerwizard]

I don't think any files are auto-created these days.


Here's my crack at the list:

1R.bat
1Ra.bat

not CC.bat, VC.bat (acquired via DSD+ 1.101)

not DSDPlus.exe (always part of an update)

DSDPlus.P25data
DSDPlus.siteLoader

not DSDPlus.networks, .sites, .frequencies, .groups, .radios (acquired via DSD+ 1.101)

FMP24.cfg
FMP24.exe
FMP24.SurveyList
FMP24-CC.bat
FMP24-VC.bat

FMPA.cfg
FMPA.exe
FMPA-CC.bat
FMPA-VC.bat

FMPP.cfg
FMPP.exe
FMPP-CC.bat
FMPP-VC.bat
sdrplay_api.dll

FMP-Map.EXE

not LRRP.cfg (acquired via DSD+ 1.101)
LRRP.exe

not Notes.txt (always part of an update)

rtlsdr.dll (updated / newer than DLL package on dsdplus.com)

Survey.cfg
Survey.exe

Is FMP24 the only one that uses the 'FMP24.ScanList' or is it shared with FMPA and FMPP or is there supposed to be 'FMPA.ScanList' and 'FMPP.ScanList' files created for those versions of FMP?

 

[morfis]

Aren't most of the 'extra' files described well enough in the notes for them to be created if necessary?

More than enough information on RR (repeated again and again) for people to easily find out what they need and when new versions come out.
The problem is people won't put in any effort to look for the information they need, they'll just ask the same FSQ again, and again, and again...oftentimes to be answered by the same two people.

I'd rather the DSD folks stick to improving the software than get bogged down with extra archives or additions to a website and leave the users to do do a tiny bit of research where necessary.

Reminding myself about old fashioned batch scripting gives me this list of what was added in the updates:

Yes they can be created by reading documentation or forum posts.
However forum is full of posts that clearly demonstrate that people don't read the documentation or search for it.

Took me 10 minutes at most to create archive of the public release and the new/updated Fastlane basefiles with a list of the EXE version and what the last release of Fastlane they came in.
Hardly bogged me down.

 

[slicerwizard]

Is FMP24 the only one that uses the 'FMP24.ScanList' or is it shared with FMPA and FMPP or is there supposed to be 'FMPA.ScanList' and 'FMPP.ScanList' files created for those versions of FMP?

Good catch. They each have their own file.

 

[slicerwizard]

Aren't most of the 'extra' files described well enough in the notes for them to be created if necessary?

a) While one can create an empty file, it's not much help if the original file contained comments documenting the file layout and shows examples. I wouldn't want to have an empty site loader file - it came with a lot of embedded information.

b) Many folks can't manage to create the files. They save "DSDPlus.SiteLoader" in Notepad and get a "DSDPlus.SiteLoader.txt" file. And then because they have file extensions hidden in Windows Explorer, they see a file named "DSDPlus.SiteLoader", but DSDPlus still complains that the file is missing. And then they're stuck.

I'd rather the DSD folks stick to improving the software than get bogged down with extra archives or additions to a website and leave the users to do do a tiny bit of research where necessary.

As would I, but see above.

As I tried going through the DSDPLUS batch files and my Internet providers modem to allow port forwarding for 20001 and the issue still exist TCP connect error 10061 " no connection could be made because the target machine refused it"

Are your opies of FMPx and DSD+ on different sides of an internet connection for you to need to alter the router settings?
