P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / I need help with a P164 RDS Encoder (BSI Simian)
« Last post by timparish1@gmail.com on August 30, 2024, 09:41:10 am »
I am a contract Engineer and I have client that just purchased a 164 RDS Encoder. The station uses Broadcast Software International Simian Pro Radio Automation software. The P164 is at the transmitter site. Our ISP does have a static IP set up at the transmitter site. I did a port forward of 9100 for the 164 for the RDS Data. I set my encoder up as a server. I can access it from home just fine. I used the Simian information from this forum and I put my public static Ip and Port in Simian and used the template provided on the support forum.

I am guessing that the 164 is listening on port 2 of the P164 and that is set up to receive port 9100 from the Automation software. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Do I need to use an alternate port I can. I need some help. The P164 currently has s static message. But we really want to get Artist and Song title going as soon as possible. I am stuck.

Silence Detector / Re: Launching program files with Alarm Tasks and Return Tasks
« Last post by thatjackelliott on August 23, 2024, 05:49:32 pm »
Thank you for answering my question about launching one or more programs for Alarm and Return Tasks. I have a couple of followup questions, the answers would go a long way towards helping me understand how SD handles Tasks. (1), in the case of two Tasks in Open/Play 1, is it accurate to say that SD will do the first Open/Play Task, wait for it to return, and then move the second Task? (2) What if there is one Task in Open/Play 1, and a second Task in Open/Play 2 — how does SD process those? Both at the same time, or sequentially?

Thank you for your help. There doesn't seem to be an example for a batch file to launch two or more programs that I can find in the program's Help, and the online reference at https://pira.cz/show.asp?art=silence doesn't go into it very deeply. Is there a Windows batch files help that I am not seeing?

I would recommend to put the programs to be executed into a single .bat file for each case. In the batch file you can insert as many lines as you want and you can also specify whether to wait the program to terminate or not, before executing next line. See the Windows batch files reference for details.

Silence Detector / Launching program files with Alarm Tasks and Return Tasks
« Last post by thatjackelliott on August 21, 2024, 09:45:08 pm »
Hello, we have been using the Pira.cz Silence Detector at our community radio station for many years. It is a great little program. On Alarm, we have a program in Open/Play 1, and we have a Return Task in Open/Play. They work perfectly. Today we want to add two additional tasks, a second Alarm Task, and a second Return Task. This will be TWO Alarm Tasks and TWO Return Tasks.

On Alarm the SD must now launch two programs (an .exe and a .bat). Can I put BOTH programs in Open/Play 1? File 1: and File 2: ? Will it launch them at the same time (or close to it) or will it wait for the File 1: program to close before it launches the File 2: program?

Also, on Return we need TWO Tasks, but there is only one Open/Play option. Again, can I put one program as File 1: and the second as File 2: ? It will do both of them?

Thank you!

Control Software / Re: Setting up a Pira cuz RDS encoder for the first time
« Last post by admin on August 18, 2024, 09:51:39 pm »
If only one of the options were correct, the manufacturer would not give a choice of the others. In other words, your IT administrator should choose appropriate option based on the circumstances.

As a general rule, UDP should not be used. The TCP server side is the side which is accessible via host name or IPv4 address. The client side may be anywhere and no port forwarding is required for it. The connection diagram is client -> server.

If more RDS encoders are present in the network, they should be configured as clients, the Magic RDS as server.

It allows separate screen for the plugin setup.
There's a small bug in some plugins. If there's nothing to configure, nothing happens. This may be confusing, I'm fully aware of that. A fix is on the way.

Great, just a thought, maybe add Plugins menu before Help
That menu would show all the plugins (only the external ones not the Basic RDS Decoder and Group Analyzer, since this ones are built into the program) then if the plugin has something to configure a subgroup named Configure would open

This would be less confusing for the users
I never knew that you could open plugins with View->Plugin name, always used Configure-Plugins->Plugin name screen  :)

PS:  Here where there are plugin examples: https://rdsspy.com/category/create-a-plugin/
psdec.zip  (the nice black box that also shows PS) only has the binary, no sources, other plugins like (myplugin.zip, errbar.zip, cmdview.zip) all have sources attached, is this intentional?

PPS: How do I change font back to normal (circled on the picture): https://imgur.com/a/P9t91Yh

Take care
