So, it looks like AAC and AC3 are still proprietary... WEBM (which is in fact Vorbis or Opus for audio) might be the FOSS alternative: https://www.webmproject.org/about/faq/ (at least the Wikipedia page says it's royalty free). :idea:

Well, that doesn't help players such as PRP which need to play existing streams.

For the record, Keppi supports AAC by using Media Foundation for decoding. It uses the AAC decoder that comes with Windows.

For Kiss FM.ro: It looks like they only offer an AAC PLUS stream <> AAC: http://www.kissfm.ro/article/8724/Cum-p ... ss-FM-live
Some years ago I had the station in my database, but removed it over time. I can't speak Romanian, so one could always contact and ask them. Bigger stations usually at least offer a smaller ogg/mp3 stream as alternative.

During my search I added new Kiss stations. Germany, Ireland, Madrid, France, Ukraine and replaced some other ones. Users can get them through the internal updater, if you want.

P.S.: Added some links to my signature.

Make sure you visit the new Graveyard spectrum analyser while the night is still young. :)

Thanks!

I'm no pixel artist, but I added some procedual generation and randomization in there. So each time you select a new station, the graveyard is going to look a bit different.
For the bloodlines at the top, use a radio station with deep beats, these work best visually from my tests. I also try to balance analysers out and not overdue stuff. On top of that one should always still be able to read the station logo in the background.

P.S. Can anyone here test the lastest Version under WinXP? I got a user bug report that it failed launch under it from a msvcrt.dll-error. :/

Thanks for the feedback. You can grab a fixed exe here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/cb17yat24 ... p_xp71.zip.


I don't know, how to keep PRP backwards compatible with the newest GCC compiler as I don't use XP. But I doubt there will be any library update for it.

On XP I get the following error for the xp71 version:
This application has failed to start because fmodex.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

The released version, v171031, generated this error:
The procedure entry point _time32 could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll.

Thanks. The fixed exe is working for me

I have no idea mate. This same error occurs for me with GoldBug Secure Messenger and it never got fixed iirc. Had to go back to a previous version and fix another error

Strange. The only dll error i get is the msvcrt one on the latest version

Maybe a bug in the compiler code ? i have no idea

I found a previous version, v170416, that works on XP. Downloaded it from here:

http://www.stringcat.com/company_blog/2 ... caltime32/

Undefined reference to _time32, _gmtime32 and _localtime32
Finally we found the culprit: our Qt mingw toolchain was compiled with a (slightly) different version of the gcc compiler than the version where we had compiled the OpenSSL code with. Recompiling OpenSSL led to a disappearance of the unresolved externals
Does that info help at all ?

The zip only included the exe file and nothing more. You need a "full install" from 171031 and just copy over the new exe to your install directory. The fmod.dll-error indicates that you have nothing, not even the fmod.dll in your folder.
