KeepAlive() change request in the api
Options

rfoust
Member ✭✭
In radio.cs, the KeepAlive() function has an if block to check if:
if (!API.ProgramName.Contains("Maestro"))Any chance that can be changed to check for the existence of ProgramName to prevent a null reference exception? Something like this:
if ((API.ProgramName != null && API.ProgramName != "") && !API.ProgramName.Contains("Maestro"))Thanks!

I am guessing they do not check for this because you should set this value before calling Init.
Here is what I do for FRStack
API.ProgramName = "FRStack";
API.Init();0 -
Yeah I've modified my code to do that now, just took a sec to figure out why it was blowing up. Either way, not a huge deal.
Now I gotta figure out why keepalive isn't actually keeping it alive. Haven't played with the API in a few years...It has changed quite a bit. :-)0 -
Note that KeepAlive doesn't run in Debug mode. Only in Release.

Indeed, a ProgramName should be set before calling API.Init. However, it could be checked and something more sensible shown to help the developer figure this out. I've entered issue #5528 to address this. Thanks for the report.0
