Fastlane Install says Airspy lib not supported. Update dll

[JamesWest]

I am in the progress of installing Fastlane and I have downloaded everything including the dll files from the website as per the setup instructions. I copied them into the folder that contains all the files and I keep getting a message that says and I quote "Airspy lib not supported. update airspy.dll to a newer version."

So I carefully compared the dll that came with my Fastlane download and the dll from the website as per the setup instructions to make sure the correct one was there. I tried all versions, Fastlane dll, dll from website and I even tried a dll from airspy.com and dll that works with SDR#. Rebooted computer each time for good luck. nothing.

Any help about where I have gone wrong would be appreciated.

Try this

 

[JamesWest]

Try this

thank you for that. i just started over from scratch and it worked this time. except only one window opened. lol.

 

[JamesWest]

the FMPA CC window opened. i ran the single dongle FMPA-iCC.bat file. i was hoping it would do something with a DMR CAP+ Rest channel it is parked on. Maybe just decode the data. Oh i just saw "Waiting for DSP+ link with link ID 20001" at the bottom of the window. maybe stopping other windows from opening?

Run the r1.bat after you fmpa.bat

 

[JamesWest]

Run the r1.bat after you fmpa.bat

r1.bat runs very briefly and then closes almost instantly. nothing happens.

7 hours of trying to get this to work. going to rest now.

Add a PAUSE as the last line in your batch files. Might help you see what was happening in the command window before it closes.

Might also be useful to do a screengrab of your directory contents (showing path, file names, dates and sizes) and list the commands in the batch files and associated config files you are using.

If something is closing immediately, it often means you don't have a setting correct somewhere and the same program is trying to run twice.
As for the ports, when you are setting up a single SDR system, you need to match the FMPx output (-o) and the DSDPlus input (-i)
The common one is -o20001 for FMPx and you would match it with -i20001 for DSDPlus

I am getting a Windows error message saying "this app can't run on your PC". this happens when I manually run the FMP24-CC.bat file. pausing the bat I see "Access is denied". FMPA-CC.bat runs and opens FMPA spectrum window and the other window called console? airspy serial # is ok. no error messages in this window.

i do see -20001 in the 1r.bat file. i just asked open AI chat what this bat files says:

This Windows batch file is invoking a command-line program called "DSDPlus-r1" with certain parameters and redirections. Here's a breakdown of the command:

1. DSDPlus-r1: This is the name of the executable program being run. It is likely a version of DSDPlus, which is a digital speech decoder for various digital radio formats.
2. -T: This is a command-line switch that may enable tracking of trunked systems.
3. -E: This is a command-line switch that may enable error correction.
4. -Pwav: This is a command-line switch that specifies the output format for captured audio data. In this case, it's set to "wav" format.
5. -i20001: This is a command-line switch followed by a value. It likely refers to an input parameter for the program, possibly specifying a radio or signal source. The value "20001" may be a specific identifier for the input source.
6. >>1r=R-log.txt: This part is used for output redirection. It appends the program's standard output (presumably log information) to a file named "1r=R-log.txt."

so i can say DSDPlus is not running after this bat file is run. and the exe is not working either manually .

when i run 1r.bat with a pause there is no error messages.

now i know what this means "Waiting for DSP+ link with link ID 20001" at the bottom of the window. no DSP+ running. sorry this my first day and i was not even sure what these bat files would do. now i need to find out why DSDPlus.exe is not running.

 

[cg]

It likely says Waiting for DSD+ link
You could create and read the help files using command line or batch file and running
DSDPlus -h >DSDPlus_help.txt
and
FMPA -h >FMPA_help.txt

So after Fastlane install on a Dell notebook computer that has been running SDR#, DSDPlus and everything else you can think of perfectly for years, now the newly installed DSDPlus.exe file will not run with the batch file or just clicking on it. I get a Windows warning saying DSDPlus.exe has stopped running. Also FMP24.exe will not run.
Anybody run into this problem before? I have followed all the instructions twice. and tried on a different computer. still not running. Only batch file that will run is FMPA-CC.bat. That brings up the FMPA window. 1R.bat does not run DSDPlus. Help!

I tested the new install of the latest public version with the additional 7 files from DSDPlusDLLs.zip. and it works perfectly. but after copying all the files from the Fastlane folder (including a new DSDPlus.exe and other executables) DSDPlus.exe no go.

sorry for all this drama.

Its best to consult the help display for both fmpa and dsdplus over any AI.

My 1rbat explained
DSDPlus -r1 -E -T -Pwav -O NUL -v3 -i20001

-r1 role is single-receiver control/rest/traffic channel decoder [-r1]
-E Add frequency/NAC/RAN/DCC/RAS data to event log file entries
-T Time stamp console log file entries and console screen data
-P <T|R|B><wav|mp3> Also create per-call wav or mp3 files
-0 Synthesize no audio
-v <num> Frame information verbosity (0-4) [-v3]
-i <spec> Input audio device (1-255) and channel (M/L/R)
-i <linkID> FMPA/FMPP/FMP24 direct link ID (256-65535) [20001]

if you open a shell window in the DSD FL directory, and manually execute DSDPlus - what happens?

 

[PDXh0b0]

Is your fastlane folder in your C drive?
You've tried the same folder on three pc's with the same result, I'd start from scratch rename or delete your current folder. Don't get files from anywhere but the dsdplus site and the database dl

 

[morfis]

...and again, I'll ask that you give a screengrab of the directory showing the path, file names, dates and sizes - all are significant
...plus the deatils of the batch files and the appropriate config files - again all are significant

It would probably also help if you showed a screengrab of the DSDPlus path etc that was working for years. Is it still?

Also, you talk about FMP24 as well as FMPA - do you have an rtl device and an Airspy plugged in?

 

[JamesWest]

Thank you everyone for all of your help.

Here is a summary of where I am now. All of the installation goes ok: download current public version, download dll zip, add dll files to new public version installed on C: in its own new folder.

Test public DSDPlus.exe, runs ok. Added Airspy serial # to bat file, no problem.

Fastlane folder opened no problem with password, as per instructions select all files and paste into the new public version. This is where the problems start. The new Fastlane exe files that replace DSDPlus.exe in the public folder don't work. After this paste of new Fastlane files DSDPlus.exe is broken.

if you open a shell window in the DSD FL directory, and manually execute DSDPlus - what happens?

Nothing. There is no output, nothing runs and the cursor just goes to a new line. See screen shot.
