    Recent Major Problems with TimeTrax 1.8

    I just installed 1.8 on a W2K machine, so I don't have experience with it yet, and I don't have XP. I ran 1.7 all the time though, just fine. I thought the version 3 didn't allow the lesser compression ratios, beyond 128Kbps or uncompressed wav files. I don't know, I jumped on the TT raft...

    An update... Spoke with Elliott

    I guess we will have to wait for even more information, but I appreciate what we know so far thanks to Scott! I agree that moving it to open source would return the best result. The first update everyone would vote for would end the need for the servers! I agree that the program could move...

    Access to record all XM Channels

    The talk shows aren't available from XM through the net, but the radio does, and Recast is just the font end for the radio...yes is the answer to your question. Finding out just WHEN a particular program is broadcast is not straight forward, however.

    Install Error "Can't find WMVCore.dll"

    You must install Media Player 9 at least. Otherwise you get this error. It is not stated anywhere that Recast is dependant upon Media Player 9, but it is.

    36 hours and then it SUCKS

    First, I need to report that it takes a very long time for the "Waiting For Channel Load" screen to complete. This started in 1.5B30. Second, I lost a recording because someone else accidentally unplugged me...they didn't know, but I was not happy...afterall, the computer and radio were...

    New Beta Available - TimeTrax Recast V 1.5.30

    This version has really been performing well. I have not tried pulling out my internet connection...but I have beaten on it fairly good in other ways that killed earlier versions. It would seem very reasonable to not require an internet connection at all...there are a lot of different ways to...

    Silence Reporter

    I would suspect the AV also. I am not running any AV on my TT box...I don't really care since that is the only job I want it to do, my other machine is protected, though! I am coming in from a Radio Shack analog to optical box (which was on a close-out sale for less than $5) and feeding that...

    XM PCR and extension cable (50 foot)

    I would be amazed if the amp was using the radio "ether" for power. I am not sure you can capture much more than .1 microwatt...and this has caps that are rated for 16 volts...are you sure there isn't a DC feed coming up the coax from the receiver? Just wondering...

    New Beta Available - TimeTrax Recast V 1.5.30

    So far, only 1 issue noticed...I have had verrrrrrry long "waiting for channel load" periods when starting up...not every time, but long enough that I gave up and quit the program and started it up again. The re-start of the program did not take an overly-long time for the channel load to...

    New Beta Available - TimeTrax Recast V 1.5.30

    Nothing to report since last night...of course, I didn't have any of those funny folders since I had re-installed the beta27. The beta30 has been running for 10 hours and changed 3 channels A O K. As far as those strange folders...I went through all the odd recordings, and found that the...

    Beta 1.5.27 released

    I didn't check to see if it is still happening after my re-install yesterday. If it does I'll send a report. It was a very strange thing to have the correct channel name attached to some wild folder...XM

    Beta 1.5.27 released

    A follow up note...upon further investigation of these funny folders showing up... I have determined that the tracks contained within them are a fragment...perhaps only the ending, of a recording which is in the correct target folder. It is as if during the recording, TT cut the recording...

    Beta 1.5.27 released

    I am currently running on a PIII 800Mhz with 256M ram, Windows 2000 Sp3, a machine I set up about 2 weeks ago, clean install. I have also run this on a Celeron 500Mhz with 128M ram, same OS. I have very little else on the machine, and nothing running, save for Zone Alarm and a VNC for remote...

    Beta 1.5.27 released

    So far, I have had the program "stop responding" 4 times...and that is a great improvement...still annoying. I have noticed that this most seems to happen when setting up recordings, moving between the main window and the timer settings page...after setting something up, the return to the...

    Beta 1.5.27 released

    Nistime is a free program which will sync your system clock to the WWV time servers. Available here: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,23895,00.asp I also wonder if after so many files get created, the file handler gets full and causes the program to stop responding...

    Beta 1.5.27 released

    This beta managed through 12 hours before it locked-up and quit responding. Again, a hard re-start of the machine and it is back up. By the way, I have moved the system over to different hardware from what I started my OLD 1.5beta with. It is now running on a PIII 800Mhz with 256Meg, so this...

    Unable to control output device for audio

    CCrane has a sweet little FM transmitter for $60 that is doing a fine job. Actually better performance than I expected from the specs. Excellent stereo sound and range.

    Future Feature Thread

    OK, how about this one... For really prefect tracks, TT could record to the buffer, then when the track change is detected, it writes the captured file, but keeps the last second (or what ever you set) of that file and continues on while adding that last second to the start of the next...

    TimeTrax Must Release Fixit Patch for Software Right Now

    Interesting...1.5beta was the only thing that would run for me also...1.4 would quit within a minute or so of starting up, while 1.5beta has run for me on occasion for a day and a half before dropping into locked-up mode...same machine and environment. Is it possible to uninstall...

    TimeTrax Must Release Fixit Patch for Software Right Now

    I agree...a quick fix is what we want, but a reliable one is what is really needed! When it works, it is GREAT! When you go and check for the recordings...and find that the radio is on and working just fine, but the software dropped out of action...phooey! I know I lost 1 major event due to...

    Future Feature Thread

    Tazmaniac pretty much said it there! I would like to also see additional timer pages, the opportunity to temporarily override a timer setting with another, or set a priority. If you have a timer set for "every Tuesday" for example, but something else comes up, you could just "override" the...

    Version 1.5 Specific Thread

    There really is a difference between 1.5 full release and 1.5beta, as seems clear from other's comments regarding the false detection of the "loss" of internet connection. In my case, the software has (so far!) been running reliably since I rolled my 1.5 back to 1.5beta. I was preparing to...

    Version 1.5 Specific Thread

    Earlier in this post I stated my attempt to open a ticket and submit a debug report. How do I do that?

    Version 1.5 Specific Thread

    Without a doubt, the release version of 1.5 behaves completely differently on the same machine...no other changes. After a roll back to the 1.5beta, I was at least able to make recordings...the release version of 1.5 basically will not run for me at all.
