AmiModRadio

[andyhants]

Anyone else having problems with AmiModRadio ?

I have been running it quite happily on my AmiKit X install including the original AmiKit install and 0.994 update quite happliy back in April. Tried it tonight & nothing. Have also d/l'ed the latest 0.996 version with no result either.

Any clues ?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Version 0.994 had problems with me too, version 0.996 works well on Amikit X, see screenshot.

Amikit X Use Eagle Player as Eagle Player, make sure that the Eagle Player's folder has not been supported or if Eagle Player is not working.

Also check if the Network is working well on WinUAE

All I ever get with each release is, "could not fetch and/or play modules" from any resource I try. I have the latest, 0.9996.

AmiModRadio needs a Player in order to work, if one of the supported Player is in SYS:C it will be seen automatically, if it is on another path you have to add the path in the user-startup:

Quick and easy method with Hippo Player (used by me)

- Copy HIP (executable) -> SYS:C
- Copy HippoPlayer.group -> SYS:S
- Copy HippoPlayer.prefs -> SYS:S
- Copy HippoPlayer.PS3M -> SYS:S
- Copy Script Arexx > SYS:S

Or

- Path DHX:.../HiP/HiP ADD
- Copy HippoPlayer.group -> SYS:S
- Copy HippoPlayer.prefs -> SYS:S
- Copy HippoPlayer.PS3M -> SYS:S
- Copy Script Arexx > SYS:S


Method Eagle Player:

Assign EP: DHX:..../EaglePlayer
Path EP: ADD

Thanks - I already added EaglePlayer to my user-startup a while back as you've shown here. I'll double-check to make sure I didn't screw it up somehow. I didn't put a lot of time into it after reading the other huge thread here on EAB. I have ModExplorer and I'm really, really happy with that - I use it constantly.

[Weaselrama]

I don't mean to sound that negative - just frustrated, as others have been, at putting time into this app to try to get it working over several versions. I went ahead and deleted it and took the Eagleplayer entry out of user-startup. I'll keep up with posts and try it again at some point as it continues to mature.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Forget EaglePlayer, use HIP Player that works better and hidden without showing anything on the Workbench.
Follow my first advice with the steps written above, then copy HIP to SYS:C and the rest to SYS:S

Make sure that RexxMast is started in the Startup-sequence

Attach a scrennshot so you can see the error text

ModExplorer and AmiModRadio are two different things, AmiModRadio using AmigaAMP can also play MP3s from Aminet, even if you have to do a particular procedure

I'm sorry for the troubles! And also for the late answer... I just found your thread by chance

What does the log says? (You can see it and save it from the Log tab.)

Cheers!

Hi mate

Is the log file saved somewhere in the AmiModRadio Drawer? If so what's the filename so I can find it & send it. The problem is when I click on AmiModRadio now nothing at all happens - I don't get the basic AmiModRadio window or anything so there's not a Log tab to click on. Thanks

[andyhants]

Wadayaknow - I spoke too soon.

Turns out AmiModRadio wasn't doing nothing - it just took forever to load. Tried loading it again earlier on this evening - nothing so went to cook tea, came back say 45 mins later & its on screen.

Here's (hopefully) a couple of screen grabs that show the Log you asked for:-

[AMIGASYSTEM]

You don't seem to have an internet connection, did you activate bsdsocket.library ?

Sorry I don't know how to do that and as I've said AmiModRadio connected ok a few weeks ago and I've not changed anything on AmiKit plus other Internet-y things seem to work ok on AmiKit - so FTP connections, NetSurf etc. So I would have thought the 'AmiKit Internet connection' is ok ?

Is there something I can easily check on the bsdsocket thing ?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Se usi la rete dovrebbe essere attiva la bsdsoket.library, allego screensho che mostra dove attivare "bsdsoket.library"

Here's what my AmiKit WinUAE config shows - bsdsockets as ticked but greyed-out - so I couldn't select it or de-select it anyway. Looks to me like its been sort of 'autoselected'.

Not sure if that helps?

[andyhants]

Similar to last night after say 45 mins or so AmiModRadio finally pops up on the screen. It looks like its been hung-up on '_connect_player(), could not find known ARexx port of a player'.

Like I said before I havent changed anything & it did work ok 3-4 weeks ago. Does the above mean anything significant ?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The Arexx Port appears to be not started, check if Rexxmast has been executed, check if you have the command in the startup-sequence:

SYS:System/REXXMast >NIL:

Try running from a Shell "REXXMast" (without >NIL:) and check if it is active

Thanks AmigaSystem, good advice

Also, AndyHants, make sure that one of the supported player, like DeliTracker or EaglePlayer, is in the path. You should be able to start it from a Shell by just its name.

Usually, you will have something like that in your S:User-Startup:

Path <Some path>/Delitracker2 ADD

Let us know!

[AMIGASYSTEM]

On AmikitX in the user-startup should have this command:

;BEGIN EaglePlayer
Assign >NIL: EP: SYS:Utilities/EaglePlayer
Path >NIL: EP: ADD
;END EaglePlayer

Watching his first screenshots "EaglePlayer" he started !

Yes, you're right AmigaSystem! I didn't pay attention to the screenshot . AndyHants, if possible, open a Shell and type:

> EaglePlayer

which should start EaglePlayer if it is in your path. Just to confirm that this didn't change. Then, please type:

> SYS:System/REXXMast

which should tell you that RexxMast is already started. Just to confirm that RexxMast starts automatically.

If either one of these line fails, you've got your culprit

Let's know!

Hi Guys

Tried both of the above from a Shell session. Firstly typing Eagleplayer does indeed launch Eagleplayer. Secondly typing in the REXXMast command I get 'REXX server already active' - (see screen shot).

Not sure if that helps at all ?

EDIT: Oh & also checking the User-Startup file has exactly the correct commands in for Eagleplayer too.
