ProScan: Official Software Thread

[jjbond]

I just tested the P25 NAC. Fill Down works here. Did you select a range of P25 NAC's with the Shift key-Left mouse button? The first selected cell is the one to copy to the others as the first image illustrates. 2nd image is after the Fill Down was clicked.

I do see a problem with the Copy & Paste. It seems that copying Hex values wants to validate if it's a decimal value. If doesn't validate then will use the default Search else will paste a decimal value.
I'll fix that before next release.

{edit} If doing a Fill Down on the conv. channels Audio Options, the Audio Option dialog will pop up when selecting the first cell and again when selecting the last cell. Just hit the escape key to continue.

It took me a while to figure out exactly how to do the fill down and have it down now so I'm good.

I have repeatable success in that area now (unless it's a nac or tone) so it's not a user headspace issue, as a review of the page you get redirected to from http://www.jenniferbond.com would give you confidence in but thanks.

I initially tried doing an individual copy paste and it's just like that field is a forced selection from the drop down, free text, ctrl V, C etc not permitted... I'll try again on a different PC and get back to you..thank you for the quick response.

Thanks for all the continuing work and updates.

Any suggestions on a client for windows and or Android that will display the mp3 synchronized tags. I've searched and tried without joy, most expect a lyrics files or use an external service for known music titles. I can't find one that utilizes the tags.
I presume you know of one for your own testing.

Thanks
Joe

I used MiniLyrics for testing.

I listen to my proscan web stream in my truck often, unfortunately the built in media streaming app doesn't pass metadata. Anyone know of any iPhone media apps that display streaming metadata?

edit: disregard. Installed VLC and it works fine, however the metadata is displayed immediately and the audio tails behind by about 10-15 seconds... Being that metadata delay gets set client side on the web server, anyway to sync the two using VLC?

Hi - are there ways to reduce the audio delay when streaming on the same network (using an SDS100)? I've set the delay; the only time it becomes an issue is if I want to send a command to the scanner (such as "Avoid").

Thanks

The media player is producing the delay. You can try googling your type of media player and see if there's a latency/network buffer that can be adjusted.
One sure way of reducing the delay is using the RSOIP feature. The client side doesn't have a delay other then a 1/2 second. as that doesn't use an external audio player.

The metadata and audio are in sync leaving ProScan. The media player is pulling out the metadata before the latency/network buffer delays the audio so this will occur. I don't have an answer or solution.

I'd still like to know why almost all RSOIP scanners listed in PROSCAN don't work. It's almost like 1 in 10 at least it seems that way. Doesn't anyone ever check their RSOIP setups to make sure they work?

It has been like that for years. If people want to just use it for logging and recording uncheck the publish server box.

I saw one that listed audio3 as the ip. Well, at least my two work. And they appear to be the only SDS 200 scanners that have working RSOIP with Proscan.

I am having a heck of a time with the Proscan Web server. I have it set up to communicate and pull the voice from the ethernet port over a GB Ethernet connection. Seems to work fine until I get about 8 users on it and then is gets really sluggish and sometimes hangs. I cheched the memory and processor limits and they are not hardly utilized at all. I also made sure I do not have any virus protection on is and the firewall turned off for troubleshooting.

I am doing a port translation on a Cisco router and the router seems to be fine on resources too.
Is there any diagnosis I can do to understand why ProScan is doing this. I am interested in purchasing a license if works as I am intending it to.

It is a fresh install and nothing else is on the WIndows 10 Pro PC with an i7 processes with 8GB RAM.

1 Why do you have so many users connected?

1. I have large base of folks who want to listen to the scanner in my area... They recently changed the system in our county and need a feed.

2. As I explained, the resources being utilized is minimal, a server would be a complete waste.

3. I suspect it is a problem with the web services within ProScan when displaying the scanner and the updates to it. I have created a separate HTML page with a simply player that points back to the audio feed only. This has seem to have eliminated the problem.

4. I would like to work with the ProScan developer to scrub this performance issue.

 

[buddrousa]

Bob should answer these questions but regular PC's do not like multiple connections. Goodluck with this hope you get it resolved. It may be a more stable choice to go with the scanner over IP and client version.

Anyone who's worked with me on bugs, issues, & suggestions knows that I'm really receptive when the initial report comes in via email on emails. I can ask additional questions, and send out test files until resolved. It's faster and more efficient.

436 giving me a SDS100 Display in Proscan 15.1

1. The last use of Proscan was with the SDS100
2. Attached 436 & Proscan auto switched to Port 16 (436) from Port 21(SDS100)
3. Proscan Displayed the SDS100 Multi-Color display but accurate for the 436
4. The display was labeled USDS100
5. The logging also appears to be correct for the 436.
6. Considering how well this is working it must be a feature.
7. If this is a “bug” please consider keeping it unless it is causing problems elsewhere
8. Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bits
9. Anyone else able to confirm this?

ProScan will display whatever GUI is selected in Scanner Type, regardless of the actual model of scanner it's connected to. You must change that parameter yourself, the behavior is by design.

The exception to this rule is when operating ProScan in RSOIP Client mode; it will auto-switch the GUI to whatever model scanner it connects to.

As GTR8000 advises, change the scanner type to BCD436HP. If using a SDS100 with ProScan too then see the FAQ's on the proscan.org web page on running multiple instances.

Thanks guys for such quick responses. Using the info you gave me I think I have figured out what happen (which agrees with what you stated).

The last time I used Proscan it was with the 436 (something I seldom do) and expecting to be using the SDS100 again as usual, I switched the scanner type in Proscan to SDS100 as I closed the program.

Therefore, this time (for the first time) I started Proscan with the port set to 16 (436) but the scanner type was set to SDS100 (so I got the colorful SDS100 display). Therefore, Proscan did NOT auto switch from port 21 (sds100) to port 16 as I stated.

However, this is good as I like this colorful display MUCH better than the default 436 display I was using before. No doubt I will now be using the 436 much more with Proscan than before.

Thanks again!
