AbracaDABra - multiplatform DAB SDR for RTL-SDR USB sticks and other devices

Btw this channel list can no longer changed by the mouse wheel.

Petr: How can we reset the FIB, RS and audio errors? The right mouse click does not work any more here.

And feature request: add an upload button for FMLIST in the scanner ensemble information window.

And I found a small bug: The mouse over effect for the country flag only shows the English word "country", not the local one.

Translations have been ported from old version by AI. It is for sure not complete, about 70 strings are missing. I will ask you to update it once the code will be ready for release.
Ensemble info is automatically uploaded while you are scanning in precise mode and automatic upload is enabled.

EDIT: Reset of stats is not supported now, I will implement it once I find some touchscreen compatible control for that.

Yes, this feature is already implemented and will be available in next build.

Is this what you would like to have?

The channel list in the middle now looks better because it contains more entries.

I agree.
That's much better, especially on smaller screens, because less space is "wasted". It's more similar to the "compact view" in Windows 11 Explorer, which I personally prefer even on larger screens.

Nochmals von der Android 16 Front. Wo steht eigentlich wie weit der Sender von mir entfernt ist oder kommt das noch oder habe ich etwas in den Einstellungen vergessen ?

Die HF Störungen im Auto habe ich auch in den Griff bekommen. Die beiden Antennen für das Autoradio und für den SDR Stick müssen schon ein Stück auseinander sein sonst beeinflussen sich beide gegenseitig negativ wenn sie eingeschaltet werden.
Nachtrag:
Selber gefunden, man muß den unteren Strich nach oben ziehen.

I just tried Norwegian DAB via Satellite and it works for the (very detailled) EPG.

Code: Alles auswählen

tune-s2 10717 V 5400 -fec 3/4 -modulation 8PSK -system DVB-S2 -lnb UNIVERSAL

Code: Alles auswählen

mkfifo stdin.raw

Code: Alles auswählen

dvbstream -o - 8192 | pts2bbf | bbfedi2eti  -dst-ip 239.199.2.8 -mis 171 | odr-dabmod /dev/stdin -f stdin.raw -F u8

and open the fifo file from above.

There seems to be a problem with the default location for saving files in the Android version, at least on my phone (running Android 15). When I click on the Data Storage button, the file explorer which opens up says the default location Android/data/org.qtproject.abracadabra/files/Documents cannot be used. The Explorer says it's "to protect yur privacy, choose another folder", so it must be a restriction within Android 15. It cannot navigate to Android/data or anywhere beyond that. If I change the default location to within Android/media, I can then access that folder and also locate raw recordings, but it's impossible to do that when they are saved to the default location in the app. Disappointingly, it won't allow me to change the default folder to a folder on my microSD card, recordings won't start and the recording button is greyed out when you try to stop the recording that didn't start.

Choosing Documents folder either on internal memory or on SDCard work for me on Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 with Android 16

Versteckte Dateien freigeben, so funktioniert es im Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco Konzern.

Ah, thanks, yes, the existing Documents folder on the microSD card will allow me to record and navigate to playback from within the app. But creating a separate Abracadabra folder in the root of the microSD card wouldn't work. The foibles of Android!

... finde ich auch echt Klasse ...

Die einzelnen Fenster sind jetzt in so einer Größe und lässt sich super auf meinem Rechner darstellen.
Hier ein paar Beispiele:

Was meinst du damit?

Bei der 3.9.9.0 waren die Fenster für Win 11 etwas zu groß um mehrere anzuordnen - diese Größe finde ich jetzt super ...
