Hi Hans,

My current flow is the following:

FLAC encoder -> Internet -> Stereo Tool decoder (via VLC) -> internal processing -> FM Transmitter output AND Normal output (via VLC, to internet).

If the encoder goes down (resulting in a 404), Stereo Tool crashes / stops responding (or maybe VLC, behind it?). This applies to 8.14 as well. No virtual audio cable is used.

Important parts of the config file:
Code:
[FM Transmitter]
Calculate FM signal even if no FM high samplerate output is generated=0
Enable UECP=1
Enabled=1
FM lowpass enabled=1
FM lowpass frequency=16049
FM overdrive volume=1
Mode=UECP
Non-phase linear de-emphasis=0
Output is pre-emphasized=1
Pilot signal volume=9
Polar stereo=0
Pre-emphasis time=50
Pre-emphasize=1
Stereo encoder enabled=1

[Soundcard - Input]
ASIO Override channel 1=-1
ASIO Override channel 2=-1
Balance=1
Buffer size=0
Device ID=Stream (via VLC)
Gain=1
Sample rate=48000
Stream URI=[STREAM_URL_OGG]
Synchronize display with=Normal output
Synchronize to output - Quality=32
Synchronize to output - Relative adjustment=0.020099999
Synchronize to output enabled=0

[Soundcard - Normal output]
ASIO Override channel 1=-1
ASIO Override channel 2=-1
Auto-restart=0
Auto-restart if above=2
Auto-restart if below=0
Buffer size=0.692700028
Device ID=Stream (via VLC)
Enabled=1
FM transmitter synchronization enabled=2
Signal selection=Normal
Synchronize via FM sample rate - Extra delay=0
Synchronize via FM sample rate - Maximum const sample rate change=0.001
Synchronize via FM sample rate - Maximum sample rate change=0.01
Synchronize via FM sample rate - Quality=6
Synchronize via FM sample rate - Relative adjustment=0.0051
Synchronize via FM sample rate - Turbo=0.008
VLC Output string=--sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=shout,mux=raw,dst=source:[PASSWORD]@[IP:PORT/NAME.mp3]} --sout-shout-mp3
Turning off the VLC output stream (with only the FM - sound card output remaing) fixes the crash.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Let me know if you need more info.

Thank you!

Unfortunately VLC turns out to be very unstable, and if it goes down it takes Stereo Tool with it. The latest Stereo Tool beta *should* restart when this happens. And log the cause of the crash, if you create a directory c:\temp
