AVxCAT 2.1.1.2
« on: June 17, 2024, 11:39:51 pm »
How to update AVxCAT 2.1.1.0 ?
1/ Have network up
2/ Start AVxCAT -> if available update is found, you'll get an information red message
3/ Menu -> Help -> Get update
    Update can be a ZIP file needing a manual copy/replace provided files
    Update can be a wpi file in which case, just follow installation

Note: Updated to 2.1.1.2 Fixpack 1
- Corrected: unexpected drdialog box at close time via Get update  (general close modified)

Note: if AVxCAT won't start after update (e.g. corrupted ini or required customization wasn't done as expected), try delete AVXCAT.INI file and redo customization

Hello Remy

It is nice to see that AVxCAT has an "update feature" on it.

I tried to check it today but the "Menu -> Help -> Get update" does not show.
Is version 2.1.1.0 GA3 [FP3] the latest?

Hi Martin !

AVxCAT 2.1.x.x will get all updates for V2.1.x
While AVxCAT 2.0.x only gets updates for V2.0.x

Is the network up (with or without proxy ?)
If the "Network up ?" option under parameters is enabled ?  then the network is supposed down, click on it to enabled internal network status

Getting updates from under help menu and with the MD5 tool under AVxCAT, the downloaded update is auto checked for correct MD5.
Out of AVxCAT, here is the link to get the latest update (I had to upgrade to FP2)
* Only usable on V2.1..x *
To find current V2.1..x updates, you can have a look here:
https://remydodin.levillage.org/doc/realisations/updates/avxcat21.updt
https://remydodin.levillage.org/doc/realisations/downloads/ (add filename as given into avxcat21.updt)

My problem with the latest release is that it is asking for a Dll package that is not avaible right now. Or so it seems.

No more needed Dll's as before (rxu been replace - left compatibility - since several releases by rxutilex, mutch better) 

Which dll are you looking for ?
If I'm right, you are under OS/2 or eCs but not under ArcaOS ?
(You'll have to download the rxutilex dll

All dll's are available (rexx dll's + bitmap dll)
Other dll's are additionnal programs required dlls but you should  find all links into the pdf doc or under my web site

Hi,

Due to some personnal need and may be very usefull to create video using presentation charts and overlay into a corner a speaker video providing
explanation and description of the presentation.

I extended the overlay option which is picture into video to video into picture (same sources but inverted order) and preserved the possibility to resize the video as well resulting video opacity too.

I renamed the Ulogo checkbox to U_pic checkbox and added a checkbox V.in -to use video into picture instead of default picture into video

note: remove (having the webcam as overlay to an image in live streaming generates a too long command not supported by rexx)
          **** FOUND how to resolve when using webcam stream to overwrite image - WEB cam input for this overwrite option will be included

I can provide a pre-build of AVxCAT 2.2  (I hope have it finalized before end of year)
regards
