Turns out, old #DanteController 4.8.1.2 for #Audinate #Dante #AudioOverIP can be installed directly in #Wine / #Linux even.
However, it doesn't work, it can't see the Dante devices in my network.
So, I'm stuck with #Windows10 in #Virtualbox for which that old version still works. Until you resize the VirtualBox window while running Dante Controller, because then you have to push the reset button of that virtual machine…
Today, #Linux is making me have me a bad day again. No, actually not true. #Audinate is to blame. Their #DanteController software for their #Dante #AudioOverIP does not come as a Linux version. It also does not work in #Wine. And recently, it has stopped working properly in #Windows10 in #Virtualbox. It just crashes.
Dante Controller is a Java application, but not platform independent. They don't want to, the folks at Audinate.
So whenever there is something Dante going on in #EventTech, I need to bring a separate laptop with me.
Fun fact is: If software is not available for Linux, people always blame Linux. Never the manufacturer of that software.
Nobody blames Google if there is an app only available for IOS, but not for Android.
EDIT: My own NextCloud now saved me with an old Dante Controller 4.8.1.2 found in its "deleted files" compartment that doesn't seem to have the issue. (Screenshot below.)
In less than 24 hours… I’ll have a new video about #broadcasting! This one has a little about how pro audio works and a little about how audio-over-IP, or AoIP, systems work. Broadcasting, audio, and network engineering worlds collide!
I’ll post a link here of course but you can go ahead and subscribe at https://youtube.com/@BroadcastBlueprint so you don’t miss it!
