Windows Dream
Kiliano Ratha
If you figure it out I'd love to hear what you found. I spent days trying to get it to work - even tried compiling it. No cigar. QT5 is a huge headache. Sure wish the original Fraunhofer DRM Software radio was still supported and upgradeable. It decoded weaker signals than Dream. Hope the authors get this figured out soon.
I want to help, but my pre-compiled DREAM software only works on Win10 platform and ONLY on my computer! Due to underlying DLL files, if I copy the exe file to other computers, it pop up those error messages: programe failed to start(0xc000007b)??
To be honest, from my experience, I can not find too much difference between DREAM ver2.1 and ver2.2. If you just want to upgrade to xHE-AAC support, I can give you the xHE-AAC patch and compile ver2.1 or earlier versions locally, which is much simpler and works on win7 platform.
My 2.1.1 version works except for xHE-AAC although it occasionally crashes for no apparent reason. As far as the FDK library can you explain a little more. Where do you get the files you used and how did you compile them? Then, do you just place it in the Dream folder? There is a "14 line fix for xHE-AAC" shown in one of the other posts. Where is it inserted or what does it replace? I've seen several FDK files and -AAC files in several places but dont know which to use. The more I delve into this the more confused I get. Can I try your patch?
My source code for xHE-AAC is base on 2.1.1, and audio decoder is solely dependent on FDK(so FAAD is not needed). If you like to test on your platform, you can send me your email address via PM. Just copy and overwrite to your source files in your project , build and there you go.
This is my first time installing Dream on anything. I would prefer using 2.2 because I understand you do not have to download, compile, etc. the decoding software. (faad2_drm.dll). If that still has to be done, screw it, I'll try 2.1. Might have to anyways if I can't get this figured out.
(Not a whole lot of DRM shortwave coming over for me to listen to anyways, but thought this would give me something to do during stay-at-home.)
Thank you very much for the work you've done on this. I'm going to try
one last time to see if I can do it the way listed in the forum (if I
can get a hand from the QT forum), if I strike out on that I'll grab
your file and give it a go, and get back to you on the results. Are you
submitting to the team at Dream for inclusion? Perhaps you are one of
them and I'm dense.
I am not part of the team who developed DReaM, just a developer who is stubborn (and maybe a bit masochist) enough to fight with this stuff to make a build. I didn't modify any of the source (yet), just the dream.pro file (to add include paths and change versions of libraries).
It is a pain to build and I do not have an automated way to build it, I build the libraries manually and put them where the dream makefiles expect. The current build is apparently VS2019. I am going to try to recreate it in VS2015 (for Windows 7 compatiblity).
I released an update last night. It might support as low as Windows 8.1 now (even though it was built on Windows 7 it won't run on it, lol). I also added more codec support (opus, speex and libsndfile). The build may also been slightly more stable as I realized some of the library SDKs were mismatched with the first release. Check the reddit post for the update. :)
It was tested on another machine completely unrelated to the development prior to release. There was also another redditor who executed it fine. Make sure your copy of Win10 is up to date, or at least equal to or higher than v10.0.19041.0.

When I first tried it wpcap.dll and packet.dll were reported missing. I tried copying the ones from Dream 2.1 and it would start but I couldn't change the input to my virtual cable feeding from SDRuno (my SDR receiver program). Even changing the ini file wouldn't change anything as if it wasn't reading the ini. For an experiment I found a newer version of wpcap and packet on the web and those worked and allowed me to change the input of Dream. It now receives but the slightest variation in signal will cause it to crash and close. Dream 2.1 would stay up forever regardless of signal conditions. I can't run it more than a few seconds at a time even using a test audio recording before it shuts down.
The pcap dependancy was likely overlooked because both test machines had the official WinPcap installed ( ) . As for the stability, well, thats 2.2 for ya. I am hoping to be able to run debugging once the environment is set up for Win7 and maybe try to address the issues myself.
After looking into the current build a bit more, you should remove wpcap.dll and Packet.dll that you copied from old dream, and install npcap (the successor to WinPCap). Do this even if you installed WinPCap (it will upgrade it). The mismatched libraries will cause it to crash even more than 2.2 normally does. It won't be super stable and will probably still crash on weak signal (I think this is the new decoder), but it should run more than 5 seconds. :)
Zefie,
I deleted those and installed npcap. Testing with 2 recordings I have of a station in mono-aac and another in xhe-aac resulted in good copy with no crashes. Will try tomorrow with on the air stations if I receive any. At this point it looks good. Thank you, thank you.
Okay, an update from me. Downloaded and installed 2.1, think I got it running correctly, but no audio out. The only strong signal was Radio Marti, which uses the xHE-AAC codeec, which is probably why I heard nothing. So, onto plan B (or more like Preperation H at this point).
Downloaded and installed the Visual Studio components that now show I have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable in there. Downloaded and intstalled Ncap. Downloaded Zefies' RAR file, then downloaded and installed Winzip to unzip the thing into its' own folder in Program Files (x86). Tried to run, said it needed wpcap.dll and packet.dll. Copied them from the 32 bit part of the freashly loaded Ncap, Got the programe failed to start(0xc000007b) error. Anything obvious? Glad I'm laid off right now because otherwise I'd have lost patience.

I have seen this problem recently. There appears to be a problem with this build (2.0 Beta 2) from Bitnami. Even though it asks your what port to use for mysql, it still uses the default port. So if you have something running on the default mysql port (3306), such as another Bitnami stack or your own instance of mysql, the installer fails trying to seed the database.
Has there been any response from Bitnami support on this? We may be able to contact them directly with this issue and get a faster response than you. We just need exact steps to replicate the issue, including how you installed your original MySQL and on what port, and all config and port information you input in the Bitnami installer.
sorry for the late response, well the original mysql is installed using the all in one installer from Mysql on port 3306, beside that I just run the bitnami installer and change the port in the wizard form 3306 to 3307 and I got the error that I showed you on the screenshot
I just downloaded the stack from Bitnami, bitnami-dreamfactory-2.0.1-1-windows-installer.exe and also had MySql installed, same distribution as @Jose_Manuel_Ojeda , but got slightly different error (On Windows 7, Enterprise N, Service Pack 1) See my other postings for exact message, but it was unable to execute the artisan migration.
Hi @JayDee I do have a work around for that. first uninstall mysql, the install dream factory with the bitnami installer, then re install mysql, just make sure you have different ports for each instance of mysql because dream factory will install an instance on 3306.
