Yet another Dual Mono Configuration Glitch!

[GuillaumeB]

Perhaps one of the more IT savvy members of this forum might want to correct me on this if I'm wrong, but I would have thought that the configurator was a relatively simple bit of software, effectively providing a few lines of text format code to an SD cards. The hard work is done, that is producing the nice looking graphic interface etc. Yet people have been reporting configurator bugs for four or five months now. Shouldn't these be relatively easy to fix by Devialet?

If they're doing it the way i would the text file is simply a template with variables. Those variables are mapped to user selections that are captured in script via the fancy webpage configurator. Once the config file is generated the template variables are mapped to the matching script values in sequence...the resulting custom config file is then made available for download.

My guess is that the issue most people are having is related to the download process vs. the generation of the actual file. Browsers are notorious for screwing up formats of text based files (CSV, etc).

Assuming this is true, isn't this very worrying? It is one thing to get obvious configurator issues, such as an input not working or being incorrectly named, but if errors are able to creep in, then why not errors with SAM parameters or similar? This could have a detrimental effect on sound quality, and you may not even know it was happening.

That's a very good point Confused. Anyone else got any thoughts on this?
