ProScan: Official Software Thread

[ProScan]

ProScan Version 1.7 Build 2 includes the RadioReference Imports feature, improved Scanner Over IP, and bug fixes.

Supported scanners are the BCD996T, BC796D, BC785D, BC780XLT, BC296D, and the BC250D.

I'm thriving to make this the best Computer Aided Scanning program and suggestions are very much appreciated.

I believe I figured out the issue, making sure the Amp/DAC is outputting the sample rate the computer is trying to output to it (over fiber).

Okay thanks. Very interesting.

Connect to 996P2

Downloaded the new version of Proscan 12.8 and now unable to connect to scanner.

I set it back to none.

\Then get message "available"
Highlight available then clicked set.

Nothing happens.

Tried it a couple more times and it eventually connected.
I didn't do anything different except kept retrying.
So, i guess i am ok now

No changes in that area so I don't believe problem related to upgrading to ver. 12.8.

Reboot your computer if you have not already.

Reboot your computer if you have not already.

The BCD996P2 will need a power cycle after the computer reboots. Due to a driver/scanner issue. No other scanners needs a reboot except perhaps the BCD325P2.

Yeah I just noticed that I thought I saw 996P2 in his post. My eyes are obviously not working right today. Sorry for the confusion.

Problem with my site. On live Chat with HostGator now.

Thank you for using Live Chat. My name is Dominic and I will be your Web Advisor for today. Please hold on while I review your concern.

It appears that you are having issues with your SSL. Don't worry, let me do my best and assist you with it. May I have your domain name, please?


Thank you for that! I will be reviewing the Invoice that you have provided as well as the SSL installation.

I seem to have issues with it. Please hold on, don't worry as I will be getting this resolved for you.

For an update, still working on it.

I have radiofeed running on a dedicated server that I remote desktop into. When I disconnect a remote desktop session and then reconnect, I can see the windows audio bar for the microphone go up and down (it's seeing the audio coming in from the scanner) but the audio bar in radiofeed doesn't move, and no audio is transmitted to the server.

I think this is caused by the way Microsoft's RDP works. I haven't figured out how to get RDP to stop messing with the audio device settings. Now I only use TeamViewer or Splashtop to access my streaming server. Neither of them break the audio settings.

Stupid windows! Another alternative is starting a VM with windows running on the server. I'll see how that works.

"I can see the windows audio bar for the microphone go up and down"
Are you referring to the Windows Mixer Mic level meter or the RadioFeed Source Client meter?

Does RadioFeed meter shows audio when not using the Remote Desktop?

In RadioFeed, make sure you have the correct Input Sound Device selected and the level control is at 100%.

 

[mlapaglia]

The windows mixer mic level goes up and down.

Once I disconnect a rdp session no audio shows up in radiofeed until i restart the application, then it starts working again.

Yep, levels are at 100%, the app works fine until i disconnect from the rdp.

 

[NYRHKY94]

A Curtis has noted, you may be running into a native issue with RDP. I've experienced the same thing over the years when using RDP to access my feeds remotely. I too have switched over to the free version of TeamViewer to avoid the issue. I previously used LogMeIn until they priced me out of the market. There are quite a few posts regarding the RDP audio issue in various MS forums, with several of them pointing to a Group Policy setting for enabling audio redirection during an RDP session. Haven't tried that, but may be worth looking into if RDP is your preferred remote access tool.

Windows remote desktop and remote reboot

I have radiofeed running on a dedicated server that I remote desktop into. When I disconnect a remote desktop session and then reconnect, I can see the windows audio bar for the microphone go up and down (it's seeing the audio coming in from the scanner) but the audio bar in radiofeed doesn't move, and no audio is transmitted to the server.

RDP works fine. I run it on multiple machines...


BUT!


Edit the RDP settings BEFORE you connect the RDP session, and make sure "Audio Playback" is set to "Play on remote PC".

If you use the default "Play on this PC" Windows will route the audio input to your remote session and away from your streaming program. Windows does not 'return' it to normal when the RDP session is closed.

Finding those advanced settings depends on the Windows OS version. Trust me, it's there for all of them.


I also put a file in my c:\ directory called reboot.bat. Open NotePad and create a .bat file with the following: "shutdown /f /r /t 10" (shutdown, force programs to close, reboot, and wait 10 seconds to shut down). Save the file (make sure it has the .bat extension - not .txt) and put a shortcut on the desktop. That makes rebooting remotely much simpler, especially if you forget and pull audio away from the remote machine. I have found that a remote clean boot is the best way to return things to normal.

 

[mlapaglia]

Yep I have the settings correctly adjusted. The audio works while the remote connection is running, but it stops working once i end the session.

For some reason every night around 2am my scanner disconnects from the Internet....This started with the most recent upgrade of Proscan.....

When I looked at my burg alarm system it does not lose connection during this time...They are on the same router...

Windows 10 PC, Uniden BCD996XT, ASUS RT-AC68U router...

 

[jonwienke]

Reserve IP addresses for your scanner and the computer running ProScan in your router settings. That fixes the problem 90+% of the time.

Interesting finding today:

When I click on the "Web Server" tab that I started using yesterday that feature still works when the RDP session is started and stopped. I go back to the "Source Client" tab and the volume bar isn't working.
