SDRTrunk JMBE library failing to connect issues

[Big_kerm85]

Not sure about using SDRTrunk on Windows, but was there any prompt from a firewall to allow access, or anything like that? Do you have any third party anti-virus/firewall 'protection', or is your network connection operating through a proxy of any sort or maybe through a metered connection that might block data use?

Yes I do have a firewall and never received any type of notifications to allow sdrtrunk to run. I did however run it without the firewall up and didn’t make any difference. I think I may just remove Java again and sdrtruck as well and do a system restore to a recent point maybe something got garbled at some point.

I just installed Beta 3 on a virgin Win 10 box which does not have Java installed.

The program complained about not having Java:


15:25:24.852 ERROR i.g.d.p.SystemProperties - SystemProperties - exception while creating app folder [settings] [12MB/508MB 2%]

but the SDRT interface ran and allowed me to calibrate the machine. I then built the JMBE audio library, and restarted the machine. Works perfectly without Java installed.

The results of running java -version at the command prompt:

I removed Java and did a clean install of sdrtrunk same results, must be a bug. I'll just wait it out tell the final release and hope it works then.

Probably something specific to your hardware because the issue doesn't seem to be widespread.

Have you tried installing a slightly older version of SDRT? I run V5 Alpha 6, never had issues. Most importantly, I DO NOT have Java installed on my machines as it's a major security risk. Once the JMBE file is created, Java is not needed.

Yes iv tried a few versions that don't require java, still same issue.

You have me completely stumped. Go to the man himself that wrote the program, Denny Sheirer at the Google Group for SDRTrunk. sdrtrunk - Google Groups

set paths in Environment Variables?

Either hardware or OS config issue - has the OP ever posted his specs?

Do you have JDK installed?

How are you starting sdrt?

I did have JDK 8 333 installed and removed it, iv tried both ways. I originally tried it without. Iv been starting sdrt with the sdr-trunk.bat in the bin folder.

You might want to make sure you completely remove Java and JDK. This site gives additional tips:

How to Uninstall JDK from Windows

Guide to remove old version of JDK (Oracle JDK and OpenJDK) from Windows operating system

www.codejava.net

Did you run the Java uninstaller tool:

https://www.java.com/en/download/uninstalltool.jsp

If you've done all this, it might be time to do a clean install of Windows, or a deep dive into the registry, path and environment variables. Running SDRT is pretty straightforward procedure on a typical machine.

Yeah Iv already removed it and also system restore point to a month ago, are there any other subfolders that I need to check when removing sdrtrunk besides its original folder and the origin folder under my user name?

SDRTrunk runs from its own directory as it is not installed on the host machine.

SDRTrunk runs from its own directory as it is not installed on the host machine.

So when I remove it, its just the folder that is created when it’s extracted and the sdrtrunk folder in my c: user folder that need deleted? When iv downloaded different versions of sdrtrunk my radio reference user id and password are already in the program.

run registry editor (hold down windows key and click r to open the run command, type in regedit then click ok)

in the address area paste
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs\io\github\dsheirer\preference\radioreference

click your enter key

The SDRTrunk folder in your User directory is basically a place to store settings and recordings, screen captures, JMBE library builds, etc. I have 2 versions of SDRT on my Windows machine that share this folder. You can keep it or delete it.
