Last post by Administrator - March 26, 2025, 05:28:34 PMHello 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.

Audio playback and audio management components / Windows 11 24H2 issues with r...
Last post by XMan2015 - March 25, 2025, 01:44:01 PMHello,
I noticed since the Windows 11 24H2 update the reverb_i3dl2 effect does not work anymore. I tried on previous builds of Windows 11 (23H2, 22H2, 22H1) and Windows 10. Works as expected.
I do think it is a Windows 11 24H2 issue, not AudioDJ issue, but wanted to confirm.
To reproduce this, use the sample EXE Special Effects, load a sound, activate the i3DL2 Reverb effect. Win11 24H2 nothing happens, Windows 23H2 is OK.
Thank you

Audio playback and audio management components / Re: BPM Incorrect Value
Last post by Administrator - January 06, 2025, 03:24:16 PMHello,
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.

Audio playback and audio management components / BPM Incorrect Value
Last post by pcuevas - January 06, 2025, 12:09:13 AMMost of the songs I tested return an incorrect BPM value during the BPMAvailable event. Is there anything additional I can do to improve the accuracy before retrieving the BPM value?
How can I send a song file with a BPM of 93, but it returns 186 BPM?

Last post by Administrator - December 18, 2024, 04:53:34 PMHello 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.

Last post by Administrator - December 17, 2024, 08:11:04 PMHello,
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.

Last post by Terry - December 17, 2024, 07:59:18 AMHi,
After replacing the program, the issue no longer occurs. Thank you. However, I have discovered another problem that existed even before the update.
When using "CastingCreateFromStreamMixer" to generate encoded streams and connect to the same or different "Icecast Servers" with different MountPoint Names, only the last MountPoint remains on the "Icecast server", and all others disappear. I slightly modified the WasapiMixAndClone sample program as follows:
When connect to Icecast, each MountPoint can be seen on the Icecast2 Status management webpage. However, when trying to listen by entering the URL, a '404 - The file you requested could not be found' error appears, and then the MountPoint disappears from the Icecast2 Status management webpage.
This phenomenon only occurs with CastingCreateFromStreamMixer, but not with CastingCreateFromPlayer."
Any idea?
Terry

' check if casting was intialized correctly
If m_nCastingUniqueID = 0 Then
CheckConnection.Checked = False
CheckConnection.Text = "Connect"
MessageBox.Show("Cannot create casting due to the following error " & m_audioDjAPI.LastError.ToString())
Return
End If

Last post by Administrator - December 17, 2024, 12:04:46 AMHello 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.
Kind Regards

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

I have replaced AdjMmsEng64.dll and AdjMmsEng.dll(ver. 14.4.5.2), but the connection shows an 'ERR_ENCODER_NOT_AVAILABLE' error message. Reverting to the previous version (ver. 14.4.5.1) works fine. All sample programs related to casting show the same error.
Terry
Thank you.
