RadioBOSS 7.2 [beta]

[djsoft]

it works with the 7.1.6.2 version with the same Tracks in tracktool and in music library so there are NO File access problems and so the core issue must be in the 7.2 version

Do you use the latest RadioBOSS 7.2? If so please check if Track Tool shows an error message.

I think more information is needed. Does it apply time stretch but actual playback ends at a wrong time? Or it doesn't apply speed change at all?


A lot of bugs were fixed in this version, so if anything, it should work better than before. Do you have any special items in the playlist, e.g. Track List, network streams or commands? It won't properly work with those.

It applies, but around the top of the hour it completely changes and the tracks don’t end up on the hour. I’m testing with processed tracks and the playlist generator. No commands or network streams are in the playlist, I’m testing with jingles and songs only. The jingles and songs are generated by the playlist generator and all tracks are processed in the music library with mix points and trim silence. In the stable version, I noticed a difference in the speed of the tracks when they reached the top of the hour and ended up without any issues. However, in the Beta version, I haven’t encountered tracks playing according to the stretching percentage.

yes i do use the latest version 7.2.1.6
The same files in the playlist and normalizing them with TrackTool doesn't work.
When I manually change the level there to, say, 13 dB and click “Normalize,” it automatically sets it to 0.0 dB, even if I set the target level to -13 dB.
There are no error messages in TrackTool.

Can you please make 2-3 screenshots of how this happens: closer to hour start, at about a middle, and closer to the end.
RadioBOSS re-calculates time stretch after each track (it had always worked like this) to improve precision.

It should show something. Please click the down arrow near the Normalize button and uncheck the "Do not ask" option, click OK. Then click Normalize button, what happens after it?

It shows the day of the week and then date in system format. Looks like your system format also includes day of the week, that results in double display. Added to the list of bugs.

So, I did a little testing.
I launched the latest RadioBOSS 7.1.6.2 version,
opened the Mysql library, created a new table, and imported a folder of songs.
Under “Extras” > “Edit,” I set the volume for these songs to -13 dB.
I added these songs from the folder to the playlist in RadioBOSS 7.1.6.2 via drag and drop.
The correct volume is displayed in the playlist.
Now I’ve also added the same files to a playlist in the current beta version via drag and drop... NO VOLUME LEVELS ARE DISPLAYED

When I do the same thing with the library from the current beta version, it only shows errors.
Also, the levels that were set using the other library from 7.1.6.2 aren't displayed.
Both are using the same MySQL database.

So, from my perspective, there must be a bug somewhere in the library or in the beta version of the normalization tool.
