i implemented this on my computer but did it through Windows itself.

- Control Panel > Hardware and Sounds > Autoplay.
- Everything is "Take No Action" and the checkbox up top is unchecked.

I tested this by plugging in my External USB HD and it did not autorun.

Despite the age of this program it remains maybe my most frequently used QR generator program. Still works great with creating wifi networks that are easy to join but use strong passwords.

@xor
Better report your problems at the forum, the developer usually responds to bug reports and other issues. Of course you are not dumb. Did you change the initial location of StackNotes folder- it remembers the location of the last used file.

Message from SourceForge when trying to download.

h3kt0r on 2018-02-08 12:43

Software is certified by SoftPedia as beeing "Clean of virus, spywares, adwares". The reason why it was reported as beeing "potentially malicious" at SourceForge was due to the AES encryption command line tool included with the package. This tool is no more distributed with the package and can optionnaly be downloaded from the "AES Crypt" website if needed. You can post questions, requests or discuss anything on the forum here : https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=22131.

The instructions no longer seem valid (there is no $_OUTDIR directory for example) and the download link is is now http://www.vibestreamer.com/downloads/

Though the version number seems to match. Strange.

Midas on 2015-04-19 23:50

Thanks, download link corrected. :)

smaragdus on 2015-04-21 00:28

It's a pity Vibe Streamer has been discontinued. The developer open-sourced it- https://github.com/versionstudio/vibestreamer , but its very unlikely that someone will take over the project. For me Vibe Streamer has two major flaws- it doesn't support Unicode and it can stream only lossy MP3s.

@JudyGarland: Have you tested on WinXP?  I ask because sometimes we list "system requirements / runs on" rather than "supported".  For example, a lot of tools here on the site were built before it came out, but we'll list Win10 if it's functional in testing.

JudyGarland on 2020-11-01 11:39

@webfork: I copy and paste from 'basic (system) requirements' section:
Windows Vista/7/8/10 or WINE to create the USB (Win 98/XP/2K WILL NOT Work!)
I'm able to 'run' it under XP though, but I have no idea if it actually 'works', either partially or totally.
Devs say it doesn't.

webfork on 2020-11-03 23:24

@JudyGarland: thanks for the additional detail. As usual, billon sorted it out.
