Some nice features are added to make life even easier:

• You can now play mono files or projects in a stereo stream and vice versa.
• ASIO audio driver support is now enabled for N/ACIP also.
• Compatibility with Prodys Prontonet is now confirmed for RTP and N/ACIP for the following codecs: G7xx,MP2,PCM. AAC is in the works.
• SIP port can be set in the N/ACIP protocol, this way you can use other ports than 5060 to establish a call. For this just type :portnr behind the sip-address, just like with RTP.

2 Bugs solved:

• ASIO didn’t work for N/ACIP protocol
• If you played a file without streaming and you used ASIO, you had to wait a second before you could start playing again after stopping.

On standard PC/Laptop watch out for port 5004 and 5005 ! When the user has enabled Streaming options or Media Sharing in Windows Media Player, port 5004 and 5005 can not be used by Luci or any other program anymore ….

This new version of Luci is now able to detect if any other program in a PC occupies the port that Luci wants to use when you press the connect-button and presents the user with an error-message.

Solution is to disable Sharing Media in Windows Media Player or just use another port.

If you have little control of what users do with their computer running Luci it is advised to use another port.

A small bug was solved in this version:

• When you loaded a file for playing that was located at the USB drive and you then inserted the drive into another computer where the drive received a different drive-letter, Luci would start with an error where it couldn’t load the file. This is now solved.

This is a public release , available on http://luci.eu also.

Following things are fixed:

• “Follow Input” functionality at the Stations1 format  was broken in V1.4.14
• When user starts the software without setup file, a setup file with 2 default stations will be made. But will still work in demo mode with 1 second silence each 10 seconds as long as the software is not registered.  The 30-day temporary license still works though.

Some major new features per user request in this version are:

• RTP/UDP page is now stored per station, so you can have different RTP/UDP settings for each station.  For this a new RTP/UDP section is added in the Stations1 tab.
• Codec L16 can now be stereo also.

And here’s the latest free update of Luci Live2 again.

Improvements:

• Force mono is moved to the I/O page, as it belongs to the audio output. With this switch you can tell Luci to output only mono, even when the incoming signal is stereo. The reason you might want to use this, is when your soundcard can only transmit and receive simultaneously when both are mono.
• N/ACIP has some status messages, like “Busy” etc..
• N/ACIP has Improvement error-handling.

A bug involving playing stereo files was solved:

• When Force Mono was switched on, Live2 would freeze when playing stereo files.

• In N/ACIP the uncompressed 16-bit Wave codec is added.

Bug solved

• On 1.4 9 only and on certain computers , you could not run Live2.

The plugin for the EBU N/ACIP standard is now available. The plugin itself is still under development but is already contained in the new version download. If you wish to test the plugin, please send us an email, so we can activate the plugin for your licenses you wish to test it with. Or you  can use the 30 day trial, this will unlock Live2, AAC and N/ACIP also for 30 days, details on the right.
In this plugin we already support SIP and codecs G711, G722 and MP2.

Some other enhancements in this version are:

• In Live2 Setup the menu’s are now compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5.
• Audio files with non-standard content didn’t play, they now do.

Small bug solved:

• When using ASIO, Live2 would occasionally freeze after a certain sequence of events: When connected, you pressed Mic off and then immediately Antenna off.

As the extra keyboard shortcuts increases the danger of accidental key-presses, we now enabled the button-guard which was in the PDA version for PC also. Enable this in Setup/Options2.
If you are online and press a key for Mic, Connect or Choose Station, Luci will ask for confirmation: confirm by pressing the Enter key. A mouse-click will however not ask for confirmation, just like before.

Also, in Setup, the term “Server” is changed into “Station” where appropriate.

The window for choosing a station has been revamped, you can now:

• See the date and time of when you last used a station.
• Sort according to name or last used date/time.
• Update the list through the web. The user can update the list with a station-list you can store on any webserver. Format (CSV) is the same as import station-list in Live2Setup. To enter a URL go to Live2Setup “Server2” page. Only when a URL is entered the user will see a button called “Update” in the “Choose Station” window. The imported stations are appended to the local list from Live2Setup and cached locally. The list is always updated manually, no automatic update takes place.
• On PC, you can resize the window for choosing a station.

And, some extra keyboard shortcuts where made:

S = Choose Station
C = Connect
Space-bar= Mic
P = Play
