Very nice! I've only experienced it on my own feed but also could be my connection.

One feature that I added and was request is auto reconnect (I think only a few feeds are bumpy, so it may not have done that).

I had no disconnects that I know of.
I was out so if it did disconnect, it reconnected.
There is no connection timer to tell with.

Is it poss to add a connection timer?

Never thought of that! I'll work it in!

This will be a long reply, so bear with me.

Is the Desktop & Laptop that have JIT debugging use x64? I haven't come across that yet, so I guess its hard to debug. Does it come when you try to start the feed selector or when you try to play a feed? Does it prevent you from actually listening to a feed or can you get around it? (Sorry for the load of questions, this will be hard to debug... I guess I might have to create a VM with similar setup) Also try a Windows update is possible.

The Desktop & Laptop are 32 bit if that is what you are asking.

The "Just-in-Time" debugging tool comes up when I first launch SF to get to the feed selector menu.
I asks if I want to debug.
I press no.
It comes back again.
I press no.
This goes for several times & gives up and does not come back.
Then I select feeds and the feed player (as I call it) comes up.
After that I am OK & can select feeds & works fine.

I actually haven't seen this error or am able to reproduce it... interesting. Hopefully this is an isolated incident and I'll keep testing on some Virtual Machines with different configurations.

I have the program currently running on 3 boxes right now:

Vista 64-Bit
Vista 32-Bit
XP 32-Bit

Nice job on the interface (clean look) and like the other guys have said the pan balance feature is excellent for listening to multiple feeds. One of the feature requests some of the other posters mentioned is a must have for effectively listening to multiple feeds: task bar balloon pop-up showing which feed is boradcasting (including alpha tags in the balloon). If you can add that one, it would be real nice.

I see alpha tags coming through fine with my feeds that use ScannerCast, but do not see tags with my feed that uses Proscan? It would be nice to have support for that program. Also, it would be nice to see the interface display an active timer indicating how long the feed has been playing like WinAmp does etc. This way you know the feed is active and playing at a quick glance,

I'll keep the 3 boxes running with Scanner Force and report any issues and/or suggestions.

Thanks & nice job!

FYI - On my Vista 64-Bit box I'm getting the following Adobe message. I followed the suggestion to uninstall my current Abobe version and download/install a newer one,,,,but the message keeps popping up after running Scanner Force:

To be honest with you, I didn't even know flash was apart of this. I'll do some digging around and check it out.

Some how, your flash configuration is conflicting with my program, but none of my components require flash or even use it. I would recommend uninstalling flash and going to the website to redownload (if not already tried)

Balloon tags are in this next revision. I have also added a connection timer that resets when the connection is reset but pauses when the stream is stalled. Check it out and let me know what you think. I plan to make it remember the balloon update per feed automatically soon! I will take a look at this proscan (please give me some feed id's to test as I don't use proscan). Chances are that proscan broadcasts them different and I just need to find it.

v1.0.3 BETA:

Changes in this version include adding a balloon in the system tray with tags and a connection timer.

To install this upgrade (if you don't see the version number change from v1.0.2 to v1.0.3 on the feed selection title bar), you may have to uninstall the old version. Microsoft installer doesn't seem to upgrade correctly!

Also had the same problem as NYRHKY94 on my Vista 64-Bit box.

I'll see if I can somehow get a x64 on one of my machines and test this. For now I'll have to say I can't support the 64-Bit version. I can only assume that this is a conflict and not a needed component as nothing in Scanner Force would be calling Flash.

Running fine on a 64 box. I ran the exe as an admin so maybe that helped.

I actually was reading an article that describes this as a general issue more than my program. Try running as an administrator like jobes and see if that fixes the issue.

I was reviewing what I had done in Scanner Force and I do now remember that I have a tab that integrates IE (which actually will probably solve this issue. This web browser integration is currently hidden from view and pointing towards the Scanner Force home page. The problem with this is the fact that Google ads on my home page sometimes appear as normal text or sometimes as flash... because this is using the OS's web control, flash currently doesn't support 64bit web browsers and will not work. I will publish a revision v1.0.4 real quickly to solve this issue (I can't confirm that this is the problem due to Google ads being so dynamic)

v1.0.4 BETA:

Changes in this version fix the flash.ocx error that occurred during startup and adds an uninstall shortcut to the start menu.

I think you can install this and it will overwrite the older versions now. I found out that I forgot to increment the file versions and the setup wasn't overwriting the older files.

Let me know if this fixes the flash.ocx problem.

Installed the new version. I could not get the 64-Bit to install and the 32 will open but crashes soon as I try to open a feed.
