Audiotoolbox Plugin

Hi @ptp,

The AudioToolbox works fine on one computer but on another one, the following error comes up when adding the control:

@Vicent: Maybe some file failed during the install ?

I took a peek in the audiotoolbox plugin's folder:

A few ideas:

1. Check if there are missing files (maybe the install failed)
2. Confirm ARC is not running and run the plugin install
3. Recheck the folder content.

I'm having the exact same problem. It installs fine on my laptop, but on the other computer I need to run it on, I get the same error as the original poster. I checked the install directory, no files are missing. I closed ARC and re-installed the plugin.  Problem remains the same.

I had ARC running during the first install, could that have caused an issue?

I found the issue the AudioToolbox.managed.dll is a c++ project and includes debug information and requires external debug dlls present in some environments e.g. development machines visual studio or data management tools.

I released a new version #8, please confirm if the issue is solved.

@ptp: Version 8 doesn't raise any complaints about finding or loading the plugin which is great. However, it seems to leave behind a background process even after ARC is closed. Opening and closing the project multiple times leaves behind just as many processes which I close through Task Manager.

To clarify, I was seeing this problem when using version 7 as well but didn't know what was causing it. I'm not sure which version may have introduced this bug.

@Vincent.j It's fixed.

The bug was introduced in version #7 when solving the random crash/hang.

Thanks for feedback.

I'm having trouble updating to the new version, but I think it's because I still have the background processes running.. I'll reboot and try again.

OK! Got it updated and running.   But, still having an issue.  I've installed the UK English Windows voices.  After running the plugin, Hazel is the only additional voice to show up in ARC. I also tried running the "ImportUMPVoices" script as shown on this page, but it returns an error.   I've attached snapshots below:

Thanks @ptp. The background process bug is fixed.

@kaptaink_cg I've restored the ImportUMPVoices feature

That did the trick!! Thank you!

Why is there no (New ARC ARC Beta 2020.02.19.00) no audio toolbox plugin? need a fix please Mr. ptp -  Will there be one?

No more windows voices

I’m sure the author would be inclined to help you if you were a little more polite and less demanding just a thought

and perhaps you would want to respond to the thread of the plugin rather than creating something new and detached

Sorry, I did not intent any thing

You always do a great job

thanks again

Thank you, but I’m not the author of that plugin

oh,  the author - ptp

need a fix for the audio toolbox plugin - with new ARC program

for windows voices don't work anymore

EZ ANG

Fixed, doing the final tests.

thanks ptp my robot friend

lol, well is it done?, lol, lol

EZAng... Breath now..... Your reek of desperation was quite off putting....

you guys are the programmers

I am just an old man

What ptp forgot to mention and I am on good authority to say is that he secretly installed a "rootkit" in the plug targeted to your specific pc and network.... cool

Patience is a virtue... ptp works full time and has a family... He generously made this plug-in on his own time which he doesn't have much of... Some of us still work and are busy so showing some patience and consideration would go a long way if you want others to help you....

FYI I am not a professional programmer, however ptp is....

All kidding around aside,

I think this typing has sent a wrong message to you and ptp, forgive me if it has.

I am not in any rush nor am I trying to pressure ptp to do anything.

Believe me, I have another life here also.

I have already move on to other things...

be well

EZAng

PS. I am aware of Justin Kruger and David Dunning and the Dunning and Kruger effect

Dunning-Kruger - please be careful on what you type.

I am aware of Justin Kruger and David Dunning and the Dunning and Kruger effect

I don't know you nor do you know me.

I believe, as text messages can send a wrong message, here too I see this might be happening.

As I stated on the other site, I am not in a rush nor am I trying to pressure anyone here.

be well

Ezang

Crap, I knew I shouldn't have downloaded the Kindle version of the Catcher in the rye... Now CSIS (Canadian secret service) will be watching me... Justin Bieber or Justin Trudeau ... can never remember which one is Prime Minister. To be honest I don't think it would matter.... Anyway one of them is going to be mad at me I guess....

Relax man and enjoy your plug-in......

Fixed & Released. Please report any collateral damage.

Hi, I just got back, Thanks ptp, whatever you did, it seems to work again.

Ever want to start a beginners coding class?

all the best

EZang

hello ptp,, what is your price for another update?  Audio toolBox Plugin

thanks,

EZang

Fixed & Released.

100,000,000  thanks to you  my friend :-)

If you want to teach me, I am always ready to learn

I am taking java classes online now

thanks again

EzAng

@EzAng... Teach you what? How to write a plugin? If it is a plugin you want to develop you are taking the wrong course... I believe you need to learn C# instead.... Javascript in terms of ARC is used for coding or scripting as an alternative to ezscript....

Here's the link for making a plugin for ARC... ARC skill plugin

Dunning-Kruger, how are you?

Today, I accomplished AIML Bot (added my code) Pandora bot, maybe tomorrow I will conquer C # or whatever which way the wind will blow me.

I love learning, I have been using "processing" and java (object-oriented programming) to use the Kinect I have- cool stuff.

all the best to you

EzAng

Fixed a minor bug and I've updated the build environment for VC142. Let's hope nothing is broken

can't get it to work

Ezang can you provide more details ?

It keeps downloading

says it requires a 3rd party plugin

then download again, again

PTP I never heard back from you,

still keeps downloading,

the window says:

1. Close this plugin installer *

• 2. Exit ARC *
• 3. Double-click on the downloaded plugin file to launch this installer again *
• 4. Reload ARC and the plugin will be successfully installed *

•                                                                          *
  

•                                                                          *

Press any key to close this window.

So I press any key to close this window, then it starts all over again downloading

@Ezang I had no problem updating the last version.

Can you please restart your machine, click the plugin file and check if the upgrade is successful.

ok I will

by the way, the audio Box plugin is greyed out - did you know that?

Thanks, I will re-boot now

EzAng

I re- booted

All good now,

cheers!

EzAng

Ah-ha! The #1 universal basic troubleshooting procedure for all computer based products still works! Reboot!

lol  that's right my friend

the famous Reboot!

EzAng

haha true... but my all time favorite was >Format C:\s 

how about  ctrl  alt  delete

I still use this, lol
