Love love the html5 player from upradio...

Already downloaded it from dev. website

Please tell me, this player need some modifications in da script for work with aac+ stream

Best regards,
Cleiton

Ok. so it *only* happens if you also enable Stereo Boost! And I did change some code there (completely forgot about that). So I know where to look now. It's a change that I made for SST, and apparently didn't test well enough.

Just advising that a update to the Aussie - Breakaway Dreams for 8.41 Beta049 is available in Share your Stereo Tool Settings.

--> Oops! I found it. Next beta should be ok again.

Question: How do you use BS412 right now? The idea is to set it up such that it does nearly nothing but does get very very close to 0 dB (or +3, or whatever your local value is). But, the main point is the "doing nothing". So the lines in the current graph should not go more than at most about 2 dB down from the top. If that's the case, a live meter won't be very useful.

The player comes from:
Presentation : https://youtu.be/XLHuEbxMTgs
DEMO : http://player.coolradio.be/demo
DOWNLOAD: http://player.coolradio.be

no need to add extra plugin or files to work with AAC+

PS: the stream on our player comes from a Tuner FM tuned on our Freq resample in AAC+ so we have the same sound as FM and we can monitor the transmitter
the stream to transmitter is mp3 320kbps

Exactly, but it;s not good. What happens is that clipper clipp bass at, for example, 2dB then if i rise trhesh in limiter by 2dB, 2 bad things happens. First bass is back to 0dB and bass clipper instantly clip bass and then limiter is bit late to amplify it since it has some release.
So.. it need it;s own bass clipper, or it should follow settings from bass clipper in ABDP. I vote for 1st since it can be standalone.
Another thing, why it depends on "hard Limit"? about 0.8dB goes into hard limit after limiter. Cant measure because it kick well over 0dB after limiter without "Hard Limit"

btw, forum is working bad for months. many functions does not work, like make sticky forums.. etc.. Also this quoting..

The latest version of the forum software has issues. Unfortunately, going back isn't an option due to the large amount of spammers....

I'm very confused. There is no threshold so you can' change that. Or do you mean drive? But if you change that the bass clipping level doesn't move. I have no idea what you mean by "limiter is a bit late", and it never amplifies anything so I don't understand that either.......

It does use the settings from ABDP, including the settings that control distortion etc.

I can make it more strict if needed. But since hard limit is a limiter as well I figured it wouldn't make too much difference......?

OLD CHANGES:
- FM Demodulator reported to be broken (must be the compiler switch again... grrr.... -> No, was caused by change in IPP!
- AM clipper is now always oversampled
- Allow moving equalizer between MB's
- Allow moving BB before last MB
- SST: Couple Hard Limit to clipper on/off
- SST: QoS dynamic DLL -> Werkt, maar QoS niet??
- SST: Network: Add "Interface" selection. Also priority?
- SST: Add Stereo Image phase filter - somewhere. Under AZIMUTH (rename it to Phase or something)
- SST: C-QUAM divide by 2 issue
- SST: Bass Boost: Relax limits on frequencies
- GUI doesn't work in some of the versions of 046
- Disable Pre Limiter display in limiting mode.
- Share PEQ, attack/release?
- Move Spectrum Control and new AGC out of "Experimental" tab, and allow licensing. --> Button to buy it will be added to the website on Monday!
- Show Spectrum Control and new AGC in bottom display
- Optimize limiter
- Allow using bass distortion in bass clipper when used for final limiter.
- Limiter display freeze
- Add pre-AGC classical music thing
- MicroMPX add display for packet reception todo add reset packets, fix timing, show current playing position
- Add "Advanced Dynamics" to license overview screen
- Finish pre-AGC classical music thing
- SST: Make list of new ID's
- 64 bit Hard Limit is working again
- Meter for Limiter is no longer frozen.
- 9sg - update to latest code
- Old web interface bug fixes
- 9sg 1 thread.
- Add bass clipper + final limiter for testing for streaming, to figure out once and for all if it's useful or not.
- Final limiter: Make speed depend on amount of bass clipping.
- Final limiter: Fix going though chunks.
- Spectrum Control: Abrupt Change Protection could overract because it ignored certain settings.
- Spectrum Control: ACP can overreact!
- Spectrum Control: Why is kick so fast?
- All compressors: Attack/release behavior in the new RMS mode was wrong, now fixed. Result is more consistent and movements are less sudden.
- Compressor inverse-Covfefe
- AM stereo downmixer 9
- Show backup input is active - change color of input level meters
- Final limiter: Put in separate file, so I can test it separately.
- Final limiter: Make own settings page. Lots of settings needed...
- Final limiter: Make it work for Quality != 100%, Latency != 4096
- MicroMPX web interface
- Fixed crash when changing number of bands in Spectrum Control.
- Add Parametric EQ to AGC 2
- RDS: 8 character words with <| go wrong
- RDS: Empty fields - remove?
New "Experimental" section, containing:
* NEW AGC
* New Spectrum Controller (replacement of Power Bass/Power Highs), adjusts the spectrum BEFORE the AGC, without affecting dynamics or loudness.
The Analog compressors now have new "Max ratio" and "Max ratio at" settings to have dynamic ratio's depending on how the amount of attenuation.

- Fix crash
- Check FB^2 ratio - Found fixed for NCME
- Make copy of Adjustment and only turn of if MAIN drops far enough. Should get rid of temporary rises (Abba)
- Fix "Shape" in new RMS mode (just square it?)

- Test compressor behavior, compare with 8.40 and verify no changes
- Add licensing code (SC, Dynamic Ratio)
- SC ACP: Speeds should not affect it!
- Switched to a new compiler, slightly better performance (+3%)
- Improved NAN recovery handling and fixed 2 possible causes of NAN's
- Added maximum threshold to the compressor, it doesn't do anything if the input exceeds that level.
