Yes! the BB error and lost audio caused by ND is gone by 003.

BETA004 is posted; the binaries have icons now (the same icon as before - no difference yet for different programs though so SST and PhoneBooster have the wrong one), and the console window no longer opens/closes.

Please also report changes in CPU usage between the old and new version. We need the following info:
- CPU
- Windows version
- Which exact version you're testing (stand alone 64 bit for example)
- Old vs new CPU usage

Please also report changes in CPU usage between the old and new version. We need the following info:
Configuration: 6 cores/6 threads, Quality 150, lots of options on.
The old version ran RIST on uMPX, but it is not in the current version.

CPU -- Intel i9-13900K
Windows version -- Windows 11 (24H2/2025-03)
Which exact version you're testing -- Win64 Standalone v10.53-B004 [Compared to v10.51-B011]
Old vs new CPU usage -- 12.5% vs 13.4%
Old vs new CPU GUI -- 11.2% vs 10.1%
Old vs new Mem Use -- 613.1M vs 605.2M
EDIT: After running for around 5 days now, I came back to check it and found memory usage had decreased and is averaging 194.9M. I am not sure why the sudden drop but I do not believe I saw this occur in the v10.51 beta???

There have been no errors or issues so far, and the audio is fine. While RIST is missing, I understand that core services must be stable before adding it. :D
It's been surprisingly good when testing with both satellite and cellular feeds.

As a general Dante AES67 Output request.
Please if possible implement the Multicast Announcing via SAP as well.

Dante Controller only "sees" Multicast AES67 Streams if they are announced via SAP on the Network.
To use SDP Files you need to use Dante Domain Manager which is subscription only (and quite expensive for amateurs).
Quote:
Subscribing Dante Devices to RTP Flows from Non-Dante Devices
RTP transmit flows need to be advertised on the network by the transmitting device. These advertisements provide the information required by receivers to subscribe to the flow. The flows can be advertised in a variety of ways.
Dante Controller supports RTP descriptors transmitted via SAP, and containing a range of specific values. Flows that are advertised this way will automatically appear in Dante Controller as a transmit flow.
For non-Dante devices that do not use SAP to transmit RTP descriptors, DDM must be configured to 'proxy' the descriptor via SAP so that Dante devices can subscribe to it.

As an alternative to make it work with Dante controller you could use a node.js script "hack" that announces the stream infos for it.

There is finally a new beta again: 1053-006!

After multiple reports and about BETA004 performance, we have decided to switch to a different compiler. The CPU load is expected to be nearly identical to that of the last released version (10.51) now. And XP support is back. We have tested it on multiple systems and found basically identical CPU usage everywhere. Please let us know if you do find differences.

Once this is confirmed, we do have some changes that might improve the performance on some systems, but enabling that is the next step.

Hi Hans

Running Stereo Tool v10.53 BETA009 on both Win64 Standalone and on uMPX.

uMPX is seeing the stream - well, it is seeing the GPS info from SFN from the sender - however, there is no audio stream?

I see the following error displaying every second...

! 2025/05/15 12:56:00 Bitstream error - decoding failed. Check the log for details (2x)

...for about 30 seconds, then...

! 2025/05/15 12:56:43 Packet buffer full... ignoring packet 2496615374

...that scrolls on a minute (packet number changes 2-3 times a second) and then stops.

I'm not sure if this was happening with prior versions in this beta due to the PI running uMPX being used temporarily in another project...

Hi Hans

I keep forgetting to ask this. It is present in the current build (10.53 BETA009) but was also present in the earlier beta.

When processing, my CPU level is around 18.5-19% (Task Manager shows 9.3%). After about 30-40 seconds, when I stop the audio, the CPU level runs up to around 30-31% (Task Manager shows 12.5-14%) and hovers at this level until the audio returns.

Is there some form of watchdog/guard task causing this (i.e., is this an expected experience)?

Instant crash on BETA1053-009 on MacOS (standalone).

Looks like the build system is making the app look for libraries in an absolute path on your system (e.g. '/Users/hansvanzutphen/remote/temp/st_share_macm1/BUILD/build/StreamingTool/fdk-aac/libfdk-aac.2.dylib') instead of relative to the app package.

See below for full crash report. (apparently not allowed to attach txt files on this forum.)
