Hello Ravindra,

being a component specifically developed for Winforms, it cannot be used inside a web application.

In alternative you may consider using the API version of the components which allow using some of the features but server-side only, not client-side.

- Audio DJ Studio API for .NET
https://www.multimediasoft.com/adjstudnetapi

- Audio Sound Recorder API for .NET
https://www.multimediasoft.com/asrecnetapi

Below a couple of tutorials for using the API components inside an ASP.NET application:

https://www.multimediasoft.com/asrecnetapi/help/adding_the_api_to_a_cs_project_2.htm

The offer I sent you will be valid for the next 2 months.

Kind regards

Hello Ravindra,

unfortunately the latest version 11 of our Audio Sound Recorder for .NET cannot be used in conjunction with version 7 of Audio DJ Studio for .NET which is now at version 11.
I've sent you a message with a discount for getting the latest version 2023 of our Audio Sound Suite for .NET - Compact edition.

Kind regards

Hello,

thanks for sharing your experience: indeed quite sad the behavior from Microsoft

Hello Terry,

by googling around it seems that mms is effectively disrupted in some way in version 24H2:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3882324/mms-steam-protocol-does-not-work-in-windows-media
and the suggestion to fix the issue was to rollback to version 23H2; please, note that version 25H2 is already available so you may eventually try to upgrade to the latest Win 11 version.

Hope this helps

Kind regards

Could you be so kind to report me the exact version of the Btn3Dmms64.dll installed on your PC? Please, verify also if you have some other instance of the DLL installed somewhere else because it's likely that there could be a versioning issue of a newer version of Ctl3dMagic.dll referencing an outdated version of Btn3Dmms64.dll

Hello,

please, read the following tutorial, available inside the documentation, that should be of help in your case:

Hello,

Windows updates are sometime buggy themselves and this seems to be one of these cases; probably something was deleted inside the registry because, being DirectX stuffs implemented through COM classes, it's likely that the CLSID identifying the class of the effect was removed in error: let's hope that this will be fixed soon by Microsoft.

Kind regards

Hello and thanks for your feedback.

Indeed it seems that something was broken inside DirectX because it currently returns an error stating that this special effect is not available: we will investigate the issue further and will let you know our findings.

Hello,

the default algorithm for automatic BPM detection, the one that reports current song BPM through the BPMAvailable event, is based upon the SoundTouch open source library and it's actually certainly not optimized for all of the genres and should be mainly used with techno and disco music; anyway keep in mind that sometime this kind of algorithms can detect a x2 so there could be the need to divide the result by 2 as probably in your case.

We have also another undocumented algorithm which can be invoked by calling the undocumented method BpmDetectionTypeSet passing "1" (without quotes) as parameter: you could try to see if you obtain better results with this algo.

You can in any case upload the song file for evaluation to our FTP server:
ftp server: ftp.mmsoftlabs.com
username: myguest@multimediasoft.com
password: GwDu{#u)&4z9

Once uploaded, please, send me a note so I will download it.

Hello again,

a possible solution to your problem, allowing to operate as a source for multiple mount points from a single application, would be to avoid using the WASAPI protocol and to use the default DirectSound protocol, allowing to create multiple custom stream mixers and to cast each of them to a separate mount point.

For this purpose we have created a small sample which shows how to operate; you can download it from the link below:
https://www.multimediasoft.com/tmp/Sample.zip

Before using this sample it's recommended that you download and replace again the multimedia engine in order to avoid a small bug that was found while creating the sample.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Hello,

thanks for your feedback.

It's likely that you are not using the stream mixer and the casting in the correct way: when using WASAPI, a single stream mixer, in this case the internal stream mixer that serves as the output of the sound card, can only serve one casting (mount point) at a time: if you use the same stream mixer for more mount points, only the last one will effectively work. This behaviour is by design.

As you noticed, this doesn't happen when using a player so you could have more than one player, each linked to a different casting session.

Kind Regards

Hello again,

after further investigation we have found the nature of the original issue and we have reverted the code in order to use again the internal encoders for casting purposes so there would be no more need to use an external encoder: we suggest to download again the multimedia engine, using previously provided URLs, and see if the new build fixes the problem on your side as well.

It would be very kind of you if you could report us if the updated version is enough to fix the reported issue.

Hello,

as recommended inside the documentation tutorial "How to use the control as a source for streaming servers like SHOUTcast" https://www.multimediasoft.com/adjstudnetapi/help/adjstudnet_000076.htm
and inside the section "Files to be included with your application"
https://www.multimediasoft.com/adjstudnetapi/help/adjstudnet_000002.htm
in order to encode certain formats (like MP3) for ShoutCast and Icecast servers there is the need of an external encoder (Lame.exe, etc.).

It must be remarked that inside the previous versions we tried to use an internal encoder that seemed to work well but, unfortunately, it seems to give the problem you reported so we reverted back the behaviour to the usage of the external encoders as specified inside the documentation while we will investigate the problem further.

A copy of the needed encoders should be already available inside the "\Windows\System32" folder of the PC where you originally installed our setup package.

Hope this helps

Kind Regards

Hello,

we have been able to replicate the issue so we made a slight modification to our engine. You can get the latest build of the multimedia engine from the link below:

https://www.multimediasoft.com/bins/AdjMmsEng14.zip
and you can use it to replace existing instances on your PC under the following folders:
* C:\Program Files\MultiMedia Soft\Audio Sound Suite API for .NET\Audio DJ Studio API for .NET\Redist
* C:\Program Files\MultiMedia Soft\Audio Sound Suite API for .NET\Audio Sound Recorder API for .NET\Redist
* C:\Program Files\MultiMedia Soft\Audio Sound Suite API for .NET\Audio Sound Editor API for .NET\Redist
* If your machine has a x86 version of Windows
  - C:\Windows\System32
* If your machine has a x64 version of Windows
  - C:\Windows\SysWOW64

The x64 version is available as well on the link below:
https://www.multimediasoft.com/bins/AdjMmsEng14_64.zip
and you can use it to replace existing instances on your PC under the following folders:
* C:\Program Files\MultiMedia Soft\Audio Sound Suite API for .NET\Audio DJ Studio API for .NET\Redist
* C:\Program Files\MultiMedia Soft\Audio Sound Suite API for .NET\Audio Sound Recorder API for .NET\Redist
* C:\Program Files\MultiMedia Soft\Audio Sound Suite API for .NET\Audio Sound Editor API for .NET\Redist
* If your machine has a x64 version of Windows
  - C:\Windows\System32

It would be very kind of you if you could report us if the updated version is enough to fix the reported issue.

Kind Regards

Hello,

looking at the properties of the 2 streams, it seems that the first one has a bitrate of 128 Kbps while the second one has a bitrate of 96 Kbps: please, try to reduce the one sent by our sample to 96 Kbps, using the connection Settings form accessible through the "Settings" button, and see if the problem persists.

Kind regards
