General Discussion about the RDS / Re: RVR TEX300LCD built-in RDS encoder board setup
« Last post by Jan on September 23, 2026, 07:29:49 pm »
Sure, it’s not your fault that we all got so confused by this. But it wasn’t intentional, either. It is actually possible that the final series of this transmitter model really did contain the P232 chip, meaning the documentation is valid — it just doesn’t apply to every single variant they used to manufacture. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated case; some users of transmitters from brands like BW, for example, have had similar experiences.

If you run into any issues, please let me know. It is important to us that everything works properly. However, I will likely need more information, as it clearly works fine under "standard" operating conditions.

Please, let us not mislead other users with incorrect information. This device does not contain a P232 chip or any other encoder manufactured by us.

Unfortunately, RVR has caused us harm — not only through unpaid debts but also by including misleading information in their documentation.

If the built-in encoder does not meet your needs, we can offer you an external encoder; however, we certainly cannot provide support or software for unknown legacy products.
Thank you for offering your encoders as an option, I have already recommended a model (P164) from your production line to another station that wants to ditch their old 90's AEV RDS encoder and take their RDS setup to the next level ;D , although, in this case, the people with this RVR transmitter already have recent RDS solutions from DEVA Broadcast, and we mostly wanted to test that this function embedded in the transmitter does work.

It's honestly shocking for a "respected" company to fake their documentations, as these are usually the most trustworthy (or should be), pieces of information you can have for the transmitter you own, especially from the manufacturer!  :-[

In this case, it would probably be a good idea to update the debtors page on your site, adding RVR and other companies alike that have unpaid debts, just so people are aware when choosing to collaborate with them.  ;)

Thanks again for the support through this messy "trip" with the built-in RDS encoder!  :)

Thank you for replying. I think I will try a uninstall and reinstall. Something may have been corrupted.

I would like to help you, but unfortunately, I don't know how. When I save and load your file, everything works normally. See the attached image.

Either there is an unknown issue with file access rights, or (unlikely) your Windows installation is corrupted and the XML library is not working. Could you copy the file to another location and try reading it there?

I actually didn't send the whole file, just the title/artist portion. This is a complete file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>
<PlayList>
<Entry Event="00"
Type="Playing"
Category="SONG"
Id="MUS6048"
Title="My Sweet Lord"
Artist="George Harrison"
Album=""
Composer=""
MusicId=""
Outcue=""
StationId="WECK_FM"
Duration="00:04:30"
StartTime="2026-09-23 09:55:20"
/>
</PlayList>

I checked and the version I have is the latest.

My reply was based on the file you attached to your previous post. It is not a valid XML file because it is missing closing tags. Please verify this. In any case, I would aim to use XML processing rather than plain text. At the moment, we have no reported issues regarding XML in Magic RDS 4.

Thanks for the reply Jan.

I thought I had the latest version. I will check.

Regarding the "XML" file, we've been using it for years with Verion 3. It's generated by our PlayoutONE automation. It also works fine with our stream provider for metadata. I'll pursue the text replace function.

Thank you.

I would proceed as follows:

1) Download the latest version of Magic RDS 4, as the version you are currently using is outdated. You will immediately see what the issue with the file is.

2) The file you attached is not a valid XML file; therefore, it cannot be processed as XML. The application that generated the file is likely malfunctioning, so you should ask the author to fix it. If that is not possible, you must process the file as "Entire file as plain text" and use text replacement tools to remove anything you do not want in the final output.
