Configuration Options and Possibilities / Re: Setting up DJB Zones automation with a Pira P164 and Magic RDS4
« Last post by Jan on April 02, 2026, 08:46:45 am »
There are two websites:
  • Default password to the device Ethernet status website is admin (device pdf manual section 6.4.4). This website is usually not needed for standard installation procedure.
  • Once you're connected to the Magic RDS 4, a full configuration website is available. Accounts to access this website can be configured in Options - Preferences - Web Server - Users.

Silence Detector / Simple configuration and install file
« Last post by okr on March 17, 2026, 07:44:56 am »
Hi,
sorry I may well have missed this somehwere on the website but I really want some simple, step by step instruction as to how I can configure te program so that it detects silence from a computer in the studio it will then start an audacious playlist until such time someone can get into the studio and fix things.
We have had the situation where a windows update, despite being supposedly disabled,  put us off the air for apprximately 6 hours.

Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Silence Detector / Re: Silence Detector with Virtual Cable on Win 11

I know it's a while ago, but...

I just played with this, and was seeing the same issue. But I set the input to be Virtual cable, then exitted the program, and restarted it again: as if by magic, the audio was now showing!

P275 FM Analyzer / Re: Problem TCP/IP control from P275 e FM Scope

Finally, the cause was not the device itself or the network configuration, but the power supply adapter, which started to lose voltage after some time.

The label of the power supply adapter is attached. Thanks, Stanley.

Apparently, this is a problem with one series of these power supplies that were included with the devices in 2024. If you have this power supply, consider replacing it, we will send you another one for free. This only applies to the power supply with the specified label, year of sale and European plug. Generally, these power supplies were not the cheapest and their quality has been proven over the long term.

P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / Re: Old RTs cycling on some receivers
« Last post by Jan on February 21, 2026, 09:24:51 pm »
If you consider that for the cyclical display of the Radiotext history it is necessary to reserve space in the receiver's memory and provide the appropriate function, then it is obvious that this would not be an unwanted behavior, but the intention of the receiver manufacturer. There is no such function or setting in the RDS system itself.

Some receivers keep RT history (artist - title) if RT+ tagging is present.

Most likely, everything is fine and the cause must be found in the receiver settings. The change you registered may be related to the fact that the old RDS encoder did not toggle the RT Type bit A/B, so the same text was constantly rewritten in the receiver. It is correct to toggle the RT Type, it is even necessary for the correct functioning of RT+.

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide you with any further information until I see a recording of the RDS stream, for example from RDS Spy, which is accessible in the Magic RDS with a single mouse click.

P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / Old RTs cycling on some receivers
« Last post by LUnetStudio on February 21, 2026, 09:11:51 pm »
Hello.

Few months ago we replaced our old RDS encoders (from Phobos Audio and from IDT) with P164 encoders, controlled via Magic RDS.
From this time I see crazy RadioText behaviour on some receivers, HarmanKardon and Samsung for example. The behaviour of radiotext on these receivers is that (since station is tuned) all received RTs are repeatedly cycling on display.

Any ideas? Maybe changing of RDS data groups? (but how?)

Thanks.

Socket Error #11001 ("Host not found")
This has probably nothing to do with your account. The app is unable to connect to the gmail server. Check the port, antivirus, firewall etc.

Jan that's working perfectly now. Some of my tracks are over 30 mins, and the RDS on my tuner shows the song title right to the end - Thanks again J

RT1 is loaded by the External text tool. RT2 is for offline operation and can be disabled.
