Restrictions

To run a beta version, you need a product key. Feel free to have a look at the features comparison to know which edition is the best for you if you are interested in buying Tacview.

Please note that even if we are doing our best to produce a high quality product, beta versions usually contains known and unknown bugs, may crash, or have some features disabled because of work in progress. This is why, it is suggested to download and install beta versions alongside the latest official release (not over it). That way, in case of problem, you can simple launch the latest stable version to continue your work...

Hiya, I've encountered two issues with the API. These issues are present on both 1.8.8 and 1.9.0 beta 2.

1 - using Media.Load with an audio-only file causes a gray box to appear. The box doesn't go away until you close Tacview.
2 - using Media.Load loads an audio file at the end, not at the start. This occurs regardless of if absoluteTime is passed in or not.

code -
acmi and audio files I'm using - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i_kV_s2MZZgqQpenc1MS7mHQCYp6phWi?usp=sharing (note that the audio file should be in an "srs" subdirectory relative to the acmi file)

apologies for the barebones message but I typed it up in depth twice and had it discarded when I attempted to post both times.

Amazing work, by the way - I love Tacview. My frustration is not intended to be aimed at you - apologies if it comes off that way.

Hi Wrycu,

We want people to tell us when something is not working with Tacview, so thank you for your message, and thank you for providing all this information. I just reproduced the issue you described on my end and we will be working to fix it as soon as possible. I will let you know when I have any news.

Hi Wrycu,

We fixed both those bugs in Tacview 1.9.0 beta 3, just published: https://tacview.net/download/beta/

Let me know if you encounter any further issues

[Wrycu]

Thanks, I can confirm the beta corrects both issues I described. Is it expected that the media player shows a runtime of 00:00:00 (despite media being loaded) until you actually begin playback? (either of the tacview recording or audio)

Hi, that is not expected, we will look into that! Thanks

Hi,

This should be resolved in the beta I just published (Tacview 1.9.0 beta 4):
