George,

You can always create your own profiles. If the binary size & memory footprint are not a big concern for you, then you can create your own profile by:
- make a copy from helix-client-local-net-ra.pf
- uncommented out the following entries:
  HELIX_FEATURE_PREFERENCES
  HELIX_FEATURE_SMARTERNETWORK
  HELIX_FEATURE_ASM
  HELIX_FEATURE_REGISTRY
  HELIX_FEATURE_STATS
- and do a clean build using this custom profile

It seems to work on my box with these new features defined. 

You mentioned surestream is a requirement for you, do you mean:
- don't care about the stream switch, as long as the client can play the sure stream content OR
- stream switch(enabled by ASM) should occur depending on the network condition 

I came up with a quick dirty description for the most profiles(the ones not covered are pretty straight-forward) at:
https://client.helixcommunity.org/2003/devdocs/hxclient_profileguide.html

One thing missing is the description of dependancy among the profiles, that will be addressed in the future.

-->Henry

  Henry,

  Yes, I believe that my URL is a surestream, it is a requirement for us.

  I deleted all folders except ribosome and built from there, so pretty clean.

  Is there a different one I should use?  Instead of helix-client-local-net-ra ?

  I need a static build audio only player that does local and net playback
  of ra and rm files, no mp3 needed.

  thanks,

  GeorgeC

    HXPlayer::m_bInitialized is set to TRUE on my box. I did more testing and found streaming is still broken on sure stream content(helix-client-local-net-ra doesn't define HELIX_FEATURE_ASM), it's not a simple fix.
     
    HXPlayer::m_bInitialized will be set to TRUE when the source is initialized, the source is initialized when the client receives SETUP response from the server without error. A TCP dump can provide some hint.
     
    Have you done a clean build? Is surestream content a requirement for you? 
     
    Thanks
    -->Henry

      So far I see that HXPlayer::m_bInitialized is never getting set to TRUE.


      It is exiting  HXPlayer::ProcessIdle because it is not initialized.

        Henry,


        I do not get the pervious error, it seems to be going farther,

        bit it still fails to play the URL and exits (although not as

        quickly).


        Tracking it down...

          The problem is related to the profile, helix-client-local-net-ra doesn't have smartER networking defined. I just checked in the fix to support basic transport selection without smartER networking turned on.



          You need to update client/core/hxntsrc.cpp to verify the fix.
