[AG-TECH] Windows Rat issue

[Douglas Kosovic]

Hi Vine,

I didn't have a Windows machine handy when I wrote my email and just looked at the RAT version in subversion and it is currently version 4.4.01. Someone else confirmed to me that they were running RAT 4.4.00 with the AG 3.2 bundled installer for Windows.

The '-X' argument processing ability was added in RAT SVN revision 4213 (e.g. to process "-Xgeometry=300x300-400+705" where you are getting the error) , but RAT version 4.4.00 corresponds to SVN revision 3971, while version 4.4.01 corresponds to SVN revision 4124.

I was looking at the revision logs of the VERSION and main_control.c files to determine the SVN revisions :
  http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia/browser/rat/trunk/

So I'm very confused as to what revision of RAT is actually being used on Windows.

You could try copying the rat exe files from the local_services\AudioService on the working machine to the one that isn't. Sorry I'm not sure what else to suggest.


Cheers,
Doug

Doug,

Deleting that folder didn't seem to make a change; I receive the same error as before.  Should I not be running the 4.4.00 version of RAT?  It Is the same version that is running on my temp audio system which currently seems to be working fine although that system is 32bit XP.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Derek,

Try deleting the following folder:
  C:\Users\streaming.svc\AppData\Roaming\AccessGrid3\local_services\AudioService

An original copy of the Audio Service and rat.exe will be put in it's place the next time the VenueClient is started. I'm guessing rat-4.4.01 in that folder might have been replaced with rat-4.4.00 which doesn't support the -X switch.

My audio system has just stopped working, whenever I try to open rat through the AG I get the following error:

RAT v4.4.00 Useage
Invalid address: -Xgeometry=300x300-400+705

I have restarted a number of times and also uninstalled and reinstalled the AG bundle as well as all of the dependencies.  If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thank you,
