Lakes Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I certainly did`nt realize that that Autoit was open source anymore, (not that I know anything about C++ or whatever), but, as you say, as long Autoit is free.. I also like the idea of a "cut down" version of Philips project.. Good explaination! Thanks! 2015 - Still no flying cars, instead blankets with sleeves.

Philip Bennefall Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks Js, much better than I could have explained it myself, and it probably cleared it up for some folks as well. I'll probably start a new thread once the first beta is released. Right now all you can do is set the host API, Direct sound or Windows multimedia, and enumerate the input and output devices for the current host API. I tested the dll with those functions in AutoIt, works like a charm. No problems there, although it took me a while to realise that AutoIt can't accept a C++ string as a return type, it needs a good old c_str or it crashes with a fatal error. Oh and for anyone who wonders, I am using C++ as the development language, and AutoIt to try each new function out in dll form. I like the idea with the cut down version, but what I think I will do is to let everyone try the full set of ffeatures, but with a nag screen popping up at random whenever a function is called so that it can be used fine for testing, but not for distribution. I would make the message box run in a separate thread though, so that it doesn't stop the actual function that you're calling, just annoys you slightly until you decide to register. It would appear at random, not in every function call. How do you guys like that idea? Regards Philip Bennefall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedna Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Hi PhilipI'm using PicoPhone for voice chat.It's freeware and very compact application.Maybe you can get some ideas from it.About your licensing:I like idea from JS more than yours.Good luck with your project.EDIT: Q: Any interest?A: My interest fall down after I heard it not to be freeware that's a pity Edited January 25, 2007 by Zedna Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Bennefall Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Point taken. I might go for the first option then, to allow people to use the cut down version freely in non commercial applications, if they want to sell it they'll have to get the license. No message boxes, just cut down features. Sounds better? As for it being completely free, if I could afford to, I probably would make it freeware although not open source.

WeMartiansAreFriendly Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) what about making it free for the beta/buggy versions and once it is stable enough you can make the liscence like above (which what i was initially suggesting) and sell the commercial version, with a dumbed down version for free, just keep the betas free for early/public testers with all the new features.. how does that sound? this is what some security vendor does, i forget which but they seems to keep users, and their business happy.

Philip Bennefall Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Sure, I could do that too, but in the beta versions I would put a message box letting everyone know that it is a beta, and at the same time preventing people from using the beta release commercially. Everything will be available for unlimited use, just with the beta message box. Regards Philip Bennefall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apzo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Philip !I'm very interested in your voice chat DLL.You may take a look at libjingle, the p2p aproach from Google team.Bye the way, some p2p functions would be great for AutoIt.I'm thinking about Waste or libjingle.Some DLL + UDF would be soooooooooooo useful !

theguy0000 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 This does indeed seem very interesting... And the licensing decisions were wise, and would make me and probably other clients happy.

Philip Bennefall Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 A few people have been asking me how the voice chat project is going and why there haven't been any updates yet. Simply because I haven't had enough time to finish it all up yet, I have a really good base right now but a lot of things still need to be added. I'll make a new topic once I have a beta version ready. Regards Philip Bennefall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperChief Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Speex will be used in the dll by default. It is not an audio streaming library, just a codec. Speex alone won't allow you to make a voicechat, you need a buffer streaming method behind it as well. I'm not just going to sell it to the AutoIt community, I will have a demo up on my site and anyone who is interested can order it. I can't release it for free, because it involves a lot of work and I'd like to get something back for it after all. But if you look at the prices of the other libraries, over 300 bucks for a developer license, 59.95 isn't so bad I wouldn't say. I am going to use Port audio, Speex, and winsock to form the component. It will be one single dll that does everything.RegardsPhilip BennefallSo ... did you do it or are you working on it? You should have a method for a limited demo if you plan to charge for your work. Edited April 12, 2007 by SuperChief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, there's been no updates for a while..

DW1 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 updates to what? There is nothing to update as far as I see here in the forums. Just somebody talking about a really cool hypothetical DLL. I will be REAL excited when its a REAL Dll AutoIt3 Online Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well I looked at his most recent post.. which was in April and he was asking about a DLL problem, he mentioned it in the same topic that it was for the voice chat dll. So it definitely is in development.
