Entrian Source Search 1.3.10

· 30days, ChangeLog

I’m happy to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.3.10, which fixes three bugs:

  • Very occasionally, Source Search could throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when you hit Search.  Now fixed.
  • When you try to view a search hit in a non-existent file (for instance because you’ve deleted a huge pile of files and the index hasn’t caught up yet), the error is reported properly, rather than giving a cryptic “Value does not fall within the expected range” message (thanks, Joe).
  • When showing a search hit in a .sql file, Visual Studio no longer occasionally shows an error message when there was no error (thanks, Stoney).

You can download 1.3.10 from the usual place.

Entrian Source Search 1.3.9: Force index refresh

· 30days, ChangeLog

Entrian Source Search 1.3.9 introduces a “Force index refresh” command.  This isn’t necessary for most people because Source Search automatically re-indexes changed files as soon as they hit the disk, but some users whose source files are held on network drives have found that changes aren’t always picked up.  (Thanks, Christian.)

Exclusion patterns are now case insensitive (thanks, Ike).

You can download 1.3.9 from the usual place.

No, Netgear DG834, the BBC iPlayer is not a Denial of Service attack

Netgear DG834If you’re having trouble with iPlayer on a mobile device over WiFi, this may be of some help:

I recently installed a Netgear DG834 ADSL 2+ modem router.  It works beautifully.

My other new toy is a T-Mobile Pulse Android phone.  A lovely bit of kit for not very much money.

Trying the excellent beebPlayer application (an iPlayer client for Android) I found that quality was far worse on WiFi than on 3G.  Surely that can’t be right?

To cut a long story short, the DG834 has a feature called Port Scan and DOS Protection, which as it turns out interprets the incoming RTSP packets as a DOS attack and drops most of them.  Switching the feature off (under Advanced / WAN Setup) makes it all work perfectly.
