I am having the same issue on Windows 10.

Version 68 will not start-up. I have to start the debug version in order to get TwoTone to start normally, or I have to right click and run as administrator the non debug version, but am presented with the same screen and then still it won't start.
If I run the debug version for a while I can start the regular version. The last time I did that though it got a unexpected error and stopped running. I am sure Andy is working on it.

For those having problems with v68, try this. Unzip and put these two files in your existing v68 folder and see if they'll run for you.

These EXE files are built from the exact same code but using a slightly different build process. Let me know if they work.

Thanks,

Andy

Can you check the link? It's not working for me. Thanks.

This is what I get when I open the test build.

I am getting the same error.
Thanks for looking into this Andy!

Add me to the list. I'm not getting crashing in the same way anymore though. Now the program seems normal but the audio input seems to die and I get no notifications. Nothing is showing in the log but I notice when this happens by Audio Input Level goes up above the squelch level and stays constant. There's not problem with the audio and once I exit and restart it's back to normal. I can't pin down an exact timeframe for how often this is happening. Sometimes it's a few hours and sometimes a few days.

Ok here's another test build to try. Let me know how it works.

So how can I make the Dev believe not everyone in the world only uses 2 tones? Even after posting the audio file as proof.

Either you're doing something wrong or this county has messed with the standard 2-tone format to the point where this program won't work properly. A few different solutions have been proposed. What are they using to receive the pages? Unless it's some custom alerting hardware all the commercial stuff receives either a set of 2-tones or a single long tone to alert. Any combinations of tones would be different alerting functions for different groups. If they're using any of the pagers on the market those are not able to wait for a second tone set (or third) before alerting or recording. They'd alert on each programmed set. They must be calling mutual aid, setting off a siren or alerting another specific group with the additional sets of tones.

There are hundreds of responses here and you are the only one who has asked for that function. Now you're going to post a derogatory comment? What reason would he have to cater to you? Go develop your own program if you aren't satisfied.

Andy - The second test build has been working for me so far. Thanks.

Before I go and make a bunch of changes and it not work... I was wondering if "post_email_command" can be in a subfolder of C:\. In a version many many moons ago it had to be on the root of C:\. I just haven't kept up with all the updates to see if that has every been fixed. It would be really useful so when running two different instances of TTD I could have the .bat files in different folders. Keeping this clean.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can specify the path to the script or program. For example:

c:\user\desktop\scripts\myscript.bat should work just fine.

Using Pi is their a TwoTone Capture program such as the one I run on Windows? I know when I program different areas I run into sound cards bringing in the tones a little differently and I usually will capture them on Windows and then I'm good to go. Does Pi have an equivalent program?

Actually you can use TwoToneDetect on a Pi. Andy has a page dedicated to it: TwoToneDetect on a Raspberry Pi | TwoToneDetect

The URLs there are a bit out of date unless you want to run v60. To get v68 download the release pack from the main TTD page, unpack, then look for the file "TwoToneDetect68Pi.pyc" That will be the magic to get the latest version running on your little Pi.

This version starts up for me without any "untrusted source" warning box AND without having to run as administrator.

I'll let it run for a while to see if it does not crash.

Thanks Andy!

Sounds good, thanks for the feedback. I have updated the v68 .zip download to include this build...anyone downloading from this point forward will get the new build.

If you're talking about TwoToneFinder, there is a TWoToneFinder01.pyc file in the ZIP download that should run on a Pi if you already have TTD running on it, but you may need to run it from the desktop GUI.

Just started running the test build a few days ago. Started right up and haven't had errors as of yet either.
