Just a heads-up:
The first time I launched 0.5.0-pre9 I was unable to launch the program. I got to see the welcome screen, I selected 'I Agree', but no matter which button I pressed I got the following alert: 'The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8109.'. I had to close the application completely and launch it again in order to continue.
I allowed the program to connect to the internet in my firewall settings when it launched for the first time. The firewall used is McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 7.1.113.
[0.5.0-pre9] Unable to launch the program (connection error)
I found the same problem with 5.0 R1.
For some reason it went away if:
- Run the CLI version (audio coder, see program directory)
- Allow internet access in McAfee Firewall
Only then I got through the wizard and connection errors.
I had also had to remove the line in the program settings of McAfee, to force the firewall to request access again. Otherwise I got fatal error.

Me too with Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5! Even disabling its firewall failed to fix it.loekf wrote:I found the same problem with 5.0 R1.

I would like to know what happens if the user doesn't have Internet connection when using this program (e.g., dial-up)?
What was the last version that didn't have this problem? I need to downgrade since I can't use this!
Thank you in advance.

My workaround is to uninstall MediaCoder, and then reinstall it without the XULRunner option (uncheck the XULRunner option). MediaCoder will use Firefox for its configuration.
I don't know what happens if you don't have Firefox. Perhaps MediaCoder might be able to use Thunderbird, Seamonkey or Netscape 8. Those programs use the same core as Firefox, the Gecko Runtime Engine (GRE), which provides the XUL interface.

I only use Mozilla and IE6.0 SP2 in Windows XP Pro. SP2. Unchecking XUL during installation worked. I got a bunch of firewall alerts that I had to grant. The configuration wizard was a bit weird. It needs to be fixed Why rely on XUL and stuff?everling wrote:My workaround is to uninstall MediaCoder, and then reinstall it without the XULRunner option (uncheck the XULRunner option).
