With a big storm making stream listening a fun weekend opportunity - I've allowed the nearly complete ScannerLive application to work through Feb 8th.
Take an early look at ScannerLive at ScannerLive (32bit Windows) and ScannerLive (same but optimized for 64bit machines.) With IE you can launch directly, Firefox requires you to download the setup and run that instead.
ScannerLive will allow up to 10 banks of up to 10 channels each. When it's not actively scanning, you can right-click over a feed in the list and delete. Add new feeds under the "bank setup" where you can access the RR database directly, or enter a URL from another site. Either use "bank setup" to save a particular bank config, or right-click over the bank name as a shortcut.
For machines with multiple sound cards, go to "sound card setup" and you can choose something other than the default. You can also turn on/off the tooltips on the main screen, the feedname popup at the bottom, or minimizing into the date/time tray.
Hit "start" and away you go!
Left-click over a feed (name or the audio bar) and it will hold on that feed. Right-click over the feed name allows you to set the priority channel. Priority checks the feed 10 times per second without interrupting your listening.
The volume slider works, and the checkbox allows you to temporarily lock out a channel. You can still see the audio meter move if you want to unlock. If a feed goes offline, it attempts to reconnect and if still unsuccessful will cross out the name so you know it's down.
Under "Scan Setup" you can mute all or clear priority (if set.)
You can manually hold on a channel by pressing the 'hold' button while listening to that channel, or just left-click on the audio bar for that channel. Priority will NOT interrupt you while holding, but again you can see the audio bar moving and change on your own if needed.
Anyways take a look, I expect full release in early February. More info on the final release features are down a few threads in this forum. There are still a few cosmetic changes coming (replacing the temp lockout checkbox with a "L/O" button, tweaking the colors, etc.) but overall this is about how the final app will work for v1.0 -- and I've got PLENTY of things to work on for v1.01 and so on.
Cost will be $19.99 with free upgrades, and $11.99 if you are a RR feed provider.
