Folks,
For those using the BCD536HP or SDS200 RTSP LAN audio. I found out about a program called MediaMTX. Thanks to Brian H. for sending me a bug report stating the ProScan LAN audio wasn't working with MediaMTX and describing the problem in detail.

What MediaMTX does is it gets around the limitation of one app at a time can use the scanner LAN audio. MediaMTX connects to the scanner LAN audio and multiple ProScan instances or a combination of ProScan and VLC audio players connects to MediaMTX.

Setup may seem kind of complicated but it's really simple.

Setup:
1) Go to this link and download, unzip, and copy the files to a new folder
MediaMTX download page
It shows as RtspSimpleServer because it was renamed to MediaMTX

2) Edit the mediamtx.yml file. Underlines represents spaces. Zero spaces for "paths", two spaces for "scanner_1", and four for "source". It's important or the program will error.
paths:
__scanner_1:
____source: rtsp://192.168.254.22/au:scanner.au
{substitute scanner IP address}

3) At the command prompt, run mediamtx.exe

4) In ProScan, enter in this URL in the URL Setup box:
rtsp://192.168.254.11:8554/scanner_1
{substitute computer running MediaMTX IP address}

The next version 23.5 is ready and will be released this week. It will have the MediaMTX fix in it.

ProScan Version 23.5 Just Released!
  • Added - Favorite Name to the System/Site column in the History, Recorder, & UID grids.
  • Added - Bypass 'Frequency Out Of Range' Check option.
  • Fixed - RRDB Differences function is more reliable. It's important to note that other instances of ProScan using the Favorites Lists have to be at version 23.5 or above else the RRDB Differences function will not work.
  • Fixed - Database 'Note' and 'Record' (on unsupported Record scanners) fields at the channel level are more reliable in retaining the data after a download from the scanner.
  • Fixed - Scanner Sizable Window - Knobs weren't turning when dragging the mouse within the knobs.
  • Fixed - BC125AT, UBC125XLT, & UBC126AT scanner - Lookup Record Flag From Database wasn't working.
  • Fixed - BCD536HP and SDS200 RTSP LAN audio wasn't working with the MediaMTX media server.

I updated and lost all the RRDB differences buttons, is there anyway to get them all back without redoing/importing my whole favorites lists again?

I've just updated and when I try to import from my UBCD3600XLT into ProScan it shows blank in the import box. The scanner is connected though as can be seen via the attached file.

If the new version was installed in the same folder as the previous version then it would look for the file 'RRDB Import.txt' and the data from that file would automatically transfer to the FL(favorites lists). I don't know if you can get the RRDB Differences Button back but perhaps search for the 'RRDB Import.txt' file and install ProScan in that directory. The latest version eliminates the 'RRDB Import.txt' file as now the RRDB indexes are part of the FL. That way, the FL can be opened by other instances and the RRDB Differences function will remain intact.

I did install the update in the same directory and that file is there. Oh well. I’ll just rebuild it. Thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to change the font size in the favorite editor and the history logging. I'm getting old and my eyesight isn't what it use to be! :geek:
Thanks Bob for your GREAT WORK!!

Yes I already have win 11 set to 130%b Its does not make ProScan font any bigger, So can you please add it too your list of things to add PLEASE.

It works here. There are two similar options. You may have tried this one which doesn't work except the caption will resize.
