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.

Working right on Android now.

Same as my Firefox version. Works right on two pcs, not on my main one. maybe an extension causing problems. Have to try and track it down. At least working right on Android.

Strick or Standard, same issue.

No big deal I can live with it.

Thanks for the update I was googling the error and came across stuff like this:
. Disable your extensions one by one (especially ad blockers, password managers, or cookie consent bypassers) to find which one causes
. Sometimes cached script states cause mismatched execution contexts. Hard-refresh the page using Ctrl + F5

I'll play around with extensions one at a time and see. But as long as it works right on Android I'm good with it, since I seldom use web server on this computer to monitor anything. Usually use the phone.

Ctrl+F5 completely wipes out the scanner from the screen.

That just made my browser flash and the scanner was still there and I was still logged in.

 

[03msc]

Ctrl+F5 completely wipes out the scanner from the screen.

All Ctrl+F5 does is force a full refresh of the webpage to clear cache, etc.

As I stated before, a Ctrl+F5 wipes out the picture of the scanner completely when audio is turned on. Audio still works but no scanner.

Looks good here- Firefox and Edge on a Pixel 8 Pro, Android 17.

Thanks for this Bob. This is helpful on mobile web server and also useful in "Scanner Only" mode on my desktop. I greatly appreciate this.

I'm looking into this issue now. I received two emails about it today and one last week, and I've been working with a user today. It appears that Windows Update KB5124010 broke the mp3 playback.

It seems that KB5124010 removed the msmpeg2ac3dec.dll file from the Windows\System32 folder. While ProScan recorder playback doesn't reference that file directly, it uses the mciSendString function in winmm.dll to play back mp3 files.

Current workarounds are:

1. Record in WAV format.
2. Uninstall KB5124010.

Bob,
FYI

KB5124010 appears to only install on Intel cpus' as my Intel N150 mini received that update, but my Asus AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT did not receive that update last week. The Asus machine running ProScan is playing back recordings as expected. I'll load ProScan on the mini and see what it does.

 

[Enforcer52]

The mini Intel N150 with KB124010, works fine, played back every recording I tried.

So must be something with specific motherboards or cpus, or something else software or driver issue.

 

[Nchpiboy]

Yep the uninstall of KB124010 from Windows update fixed the issue

I have a Intel CPU, Using Windows 11 Home, 26H2, 26300.9457
It did not install KB5124010
A user with the problem is using 26H2 (build os 26300.9550)
I checked for updates today and it was already current. Strange stuff.

I'm putting together a test file using WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer instead of what is currently used for playback which is the mciSendString function in the winmm.dll file. I want to see if it does the same thing.

Nevermind that. It doesn't work when compiled as a 32 bit app.

Microsoft doesn't seem to care what changes to the OS does to non Microsoft software! Never has!

As long as their products work, to heck with everyone else, make them work around the changes.

Likely because there would be no way for them to test every single program and app that people have made to run on Windows.

I use Proscan in conjunction with a SDS100, on two different laptops. One is where my I do most of my setup work and download directly to the SDS100 unit. The 2nd laptop with Proscan is used to log the activities of the SDS100. I would like to view the log/activities of the SDS100/Proscan on laptop 2 on my setup laptop. Both laptops have complete network access to each other. I just need to understand what files from Proscan I need to transfer from LAPTOP 2 to LAPTOP 1, so I can read the activities of the SDS100. So far, I have not succeeded. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike
PS. I find using Proscan to work with my SDS100 so much more useful and enjoyable than Sentinel or Arc536 Pro.
