@Judy: PRP was so happy to see you back, that the new test version of today is called "For Judy". :)

Could you please visit the forum thread here and check, if this one works for you too?

Updating the program seems to ignore and overwrite _every_ previous setting with defaults. Overwriting prp.dat and prp.ini with older ones with correct settings does nothing after starting the program again. Going from 190601 to 210522 (or 1.0.2.0 to 1.0.2.5). Should upgrade progressively with intermediate versions?
So weird, anyone has this problem?

Updated PRP to build #211122.

@kanu: You've got Mail. :)

@IanFromBarrie: Thanks, I have updated the download link.

juverax on 2024-02-03 20:19

The direct download link does not seem to work, but otherwise the site is alive and well ;>}
There is also a Softpedia page.
The download page: https://streamwriter.org/en/downloads/
where they announce the availability of a "latest build" (e63b34e)

Midas on 2024-02-04 12:51

Links corrected (hopefully) -- should that happen again, there's also an "Downloads > All builds" page at https://streamwriter.org/en/downloads/builds.

Thanks. :)

Fosshub links are fixed.

hamasaki on 2017-07-18 13:00

Thanks. Ok, two problems for me with the software.

1. There is no sound at all. No problems with all other players on my comp, but this one no sound at all.

2. If I add a folder of MP3 files it adds the files ok, but if I use the option to add a file, the interface flickers and does nothing. I try again, flickers, then after a few seconds crashes.

I`m on Win 10 64Bit.

Thanks a lot indeed!

Great program that's definitely my preferred DI.FM premium interface but unfortunately I'm having constant connection issues.  I tried to contact the dev but couldn't seem to get access to their forum.  For the moment, I've switched over to VLC.
