Empty Audio Source about audio-band HOT 25 CLOSED

@pascal0312 and @themtilhan The play / pause issue is also due to the Spotify issue. I've put a workaround in the newest version (0.5.1) for this so most things are working again. I've put more information in the other issue #17

from audio-band.

Apparently this worked out for me so that now it appears the audio source and it can play it.As the files came from the internet and it is a strange file to windows, it blocks it from being executed by the audioband.So what you need to do is go to the«audiosources» folder from the folder of the audioband installer/unistaller and unblock individual the 3 files that are inside and that should be enough to work.
Ps:Maybe necessary to restart the windows explorer so that it works
PsPs:unblock the files(for the newbies):file»right mouse button»properties»unblock»apply
Hope it helped

Looks like its fixed and I've added this information to the readme so people won't have to search for this issue anymore.

from audio-band.

Is there a connectors folder in the directory where you unzipped the files? And is there a spotify subfolder in there.

from audio-band.

Ok, thanks for reporting this.

Can you take a screenshot of the contents of the Spotify folder.

from audio-band.

from audio-band.

The screenshot isn't showing up but its fine. What I really wanted to know is what is in the folder. There should be these three dlls

• Newtonsoft.Json
• SpotifyAPI
• SpotifyConnector

Also you are running 64 bit windows, correct?

Hey @dsafa same issue here and heres a screenshot of my computer running Windows 10 x64.

I just unzipped the installation package and ran the script w/ administrator permissions. Trying un- & reinstallation gives no help.

from audio-band.

Same on my side. Using x64 system. connectors folder has spotify in it and all the needed files. May be we can give you some more info? Really want this thing to work. Great idea!

from audio-band.

Sorry for the late response, I've been busy.
Is there anti virus software that could be blocking it? We could try excluding the whole folder if that is the case.

Let me know, thanks.

from audio-band.

I've tried excluding and disabling my anti-virus software (AVG). Source still stays empty.

from audio-band.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

I will add some logging to see if there are issues with finding the plugin location.

In the meantime can you try installing it in other locations.
thanks.

from audio-band.

Normal install message?

from audio-band.

Installing to another location does not work.

from audio-band.

I also removed the /codebase argument. It removed the warning and didn't give me different results.

If possible, argument should be removed to give the user a better installing 'experience'.

from audio-band.

Thanks for confirming.

The codebase argument is there because currently, I am not signing the assembly and installing into the GAC so I have to tell it the location of the files.

Windows 10 Pro x64 - 21/08/2018
Audio Brand Settings open but...
The item "Audio Source" don't open or show any list...
I already updated the explorer, installed as administrator but it still does not work.

from audio-band.

In the latest version 0.5.0, I've added logging to help fix this issue. After running audio band, there should be a AudioBand.log file in your Temp directory. If you open up the log file, there should be some lines that look like this:

2018-08-21 20:21:39.4063|DEBUG|AudioBand.AudioSource.AudioSourceManager|Searching for audio sources in path `S:\Code\audio-band\src\AudioBand\bin\Release\AudioSources`
2018-08-21 20:21:39.4693|DEBUG|AudioBand.AudioSource.AudioSourceManager|Found subfolder S:\Code\audio-band\src\AudioBand\bin\Release\AudioSources\spotify
2018-08-21 20:21:39.6652|DEBUG|AudioBand.AudioSource.AudioSourceManager|Audio source loaded: `Spotify`

If you can post that, it will help a lot.
Thanks.

from audio-band.

The file "AudioBand.log" was not generated in the folder "C:\Windows\Temp".
(running as administrator)

from audio-band.

Hey there,

I installed it again and gave it a few tries.
Running as admin, restarted PC before and after installation.
Audio source is still empty.

Log says:

Apparently the problem is loading the source?

from audio-band.

I wanted to try @corzone 's solution, but I only had my laptop with me. I didn't had to try the unblocking part, it already worked. I just don't see an image album or song title/artist. I can however use the back and next buttons. But not play/pause..

from audio-band.

@corzone Thanks for finding out the problem and solution. We'll see if other people can confirm this.

@pascal0312 The no album / song information is due to #17

from audio-band.

@dsafa I tried the solution and it worked but just like @pascal0312 i can't use play button only next song and previous song works. I also tried to unblock every file inside of the folder but still not working play button.

from audio-band.

@dsafa yes thank you very much. I tried new version now and when I unblock those three API dlls inside of AudioSources\spotify it works completely fine now.
