Today, #Linux is making me have me a bad day again. No, actually not true. #Audinate is to blame. Their #DanteController software for their #Dante #AudioOverIP does not come as a Linux version. It also does not work in #Wine. And recently, it has stopped working properly in #Windows10 in #Virtualbox. It just crashes.

Dante Controller is a Java application, but not platform independent. They don't want to, the folks at Audinate.

So whenever there is something Dante going on in #EventTech, I need to bring a separate laptop with me.

Fun fact is: If software is not available for Linux, people always blame Linux. Never the manufacturer of that software.

Nobody blames Google if there is an app only available for IOS, but not for Android.

EDIT: My own NextCloud now saved me with an old Dante Controller 4.8.1.2 found in its "deleted files" compartment that doesn't seem to have the issue. (Screenshot below.)

the year is 2025, and #Audinate, a quite well-known company in the music industry space don't have an accessible CAPTCHA... In 2025! Are you actually serious right now? An audio-focused company doesn't have a bloody audio captcha? get real! I don't feel like giving you my money if I can't even create an account to do so, without jumping through hoops. Nope, screw you.

CC @pkirn do you know someone I might be able to report this too? Accessibility at this level shouldn't even be a topic of discussion but it still is.
Oh, and their country picker is some useless custom control instead of the picker that practically *everybody* else uses... Sigh.

In this #EverythingOpen talk, Research Engineer at #Audinate, Elton Shih, takes us on the journey of transitioning from #FreeRTOS to #Zephyr RTOS, covering strategic decisions, technical intricacies, and highlighting how Zephyr's openness aligns seamlessly with Audinate's vision for the next generation of converged audio visual solutions.

Anybody into #Audinate #DANTE #audio stuff here?

I have a MY16-AUD2 to give away for free/EU-postage.

It just needs a new primary Ethernet port soldered onto it (sb. stepped on the cable 🙄).
