Configuration Options and Possibilities / Send Now Playing to text file for Live Stream
« Last post by South Coast FM Tech on March 17, 2025, 02:59:29 am »
Using MagicRDS V4.2.2

Already have long running setup to process Now Playing data with Text Replacing & send to external BWB Audio Processor.
Also an Internal Channel 'Program Name', which is updated using Task Scheduler.
So the Now Playing & Program Name RDS text alternates.
Often the studio is either on microphone or using CDs, with no Now Playing data. When this happens, Now Playing is no longer displayed until it changes.
So just the Program Name is displayed instead.

I'm trying to do something similar for our embedded Live Streaming text & need help please.
Processing of the same Now Playing data & Text Replacing & sending the result to a text file to then use for Live Stream text.
When Now Play data is not updated for some period, say 10 minutes (600s), then display the Program Name instead.
But don't send Program Name to Stream if Now Playing is being updated regularly.

So I've set up a new Connection > Bridge > Internal Channel called 'NowPlayingStreamingConnection'.
- Data distribution setting = saveto file:"C:\Users\Tech\Documents\MagicRDS4\NowPlayingStreaming.txt" mode:"rewrite"

Created a new Output called 'NowPlayingStreamingText'.
- 'Enabled' & 'Send on Change' ticked.
- Text Source Sequence '1- Now Playing for Streaming' & '2- Program Name'.
- Output purpose = 'Radiotext or plain text' selected.
- Destination Connection = sendto "NowPlayingStreamingConnection"

General Discussion about the RDS / BW Broadcast TX V3 600 RDS issues
« Last post by HadYourPhil on March 16, 2025, 08:19:14 pm »
This is my first post, so be gentle...
I have two of these transmitters. They both had to go back to Progressive Concepts for repair, one (maybe both, I don't remember) for power supply issues. Anyway, both transmitters, when RDS is activated, start the scrolling with BW  RDS, followed by a several second delay. Then, the message I put in starts. The five letters noted above do not appear in the box where the message is keyed in, and they can't be removed. Progressive Concepts has been no help. Have any of you seen this issue?

The character limit seems to be 64, although PC thinks it is only 32. One of my transmitters will not display the 32nd character... just leaves a blank spot in the scroll. Other transmitter... all characters are there. Weird.

Any comments/suggestions? FWIW the serial numbers are 30930 and 31070. The second one has the missing character. Software for both is 20-R.

RDS Spy / Re: LC72722 CCB
« Last post by Jan on March 06, 2025, 10:39:22 am »
There's no interface on common PCs suitable for processing IIC or CCB data bus signals.

The LC72722, however, has an option for outputting the raw RDS data signal (RDDA) on the test pin. Appropriate control command must be send to the IC via the CCB bus to enable such function.

RDS Spy / LC72722 CCB
« Last post by tonysd on March 06, 2025, 09:33:20 am »
Hi Everyone!
Has anyone succeeded to connect LC72722 to RDS Spy? It communicates using CCB interface, serial protocol similar to I2C?

Thanks!

1) Contact the national authority for correct PI assignment

or

2) Change the PI yourself to xFxx, keeping the last two digits unchanged.

Thank you very much.
What are the options available for me to have the AF working?

If your current PI is x0xx, any attempt to get the AF working will not be successful because you give an explicit information to the receivers that your station has only single transmitter.

« Last post by Topfm on March 03, 2025, 08:20:32 am »
Tried activating alternate frequency from Magic RDS 4 Software for a P132 encoder but it does not work. When i researched for more information it says if the PI code second digit is set to 0 it means it won't work.

I wish to achieve the proper configuration of the alternate frequency for it to work. Grateful if someone can guide me through this.

Thanks!

Feature Requests / Re: Text Source - Add Loop Options
« Last post by Jan on February 26, 2025, 09:10:25 am »
For creating the desired effect, set a low value for the 'Go to next after' parameter and insert the Source several times to the Output Sequence.

For example 'Go to next after' set to 20 seconds, 'Keep in cache for' set to 20 seconds, Output Sequence:

Source 1
Source 1
Source 2
Source 2
Source 2
Source 2
