Joining server won't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start the server, play some music through winamp
2. let client connect

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to play after a couple of seconds, too bad there's no output.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SyncBoss v0.3 revision 29

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm running the host on a windows xp sp 3 machine, and the serving seems to
work ok: i can see the sync monitor move. But joining the server doesn't
seem to work: i've tried from windows 7, and mac os X snow leopard.
I've disabled the windows firewall, added exceptions... still not working.
Do you have any ideas left?
Thanks in advance!

From the tut page:

I've run the program from commandline, and include the following log, 
apparently the
input for readJavaFormatString is wrong:

This seems to be a localisation issue with respect to the decimal point
representation. I'll get this fixed up for the next version. If you can't wait, 
you
can change your decimal symbol from "," to "." - this is done in "Regional and
Language Settings" on Windows.

Thanks for the report,
Jack

Same problem - same version (v0.30 Revision 29)

Thx for the workaround: after changing on both PC - client and server - it´s 
working (with Lags)

Windows 7 64-Bit Prof. German (Client)
Windows XP 32-Bit Prof. German (Server)

Looks like no fixed version will be available - if you have a beta - I will 
test....

The workaround works for English Windows.
Personnaly, I have 2 pc on WIndows 7 in French and I had to change not only the 
symbol number but the Format in "Regional and Language Setting" to English 
aswell.

Hope this help !

SyncBoss rocks!!!

Since changing regional settings is not really an option but for tests, for me, 
I tried a hack in CommunicatorClient which solves the sample rating format 
issue. I now have an "Unusual seek time" problem instead. Can you help, Jack?

 private void decodeFormatString(String s) {
        //System.out.println(s);
        s = s.substring(0,s.length() - 1);
        String[] p = s.split("\\^"); //split, trimming off the \n char

added>>        p[4] = p[4].replace(',', '.');
added>>        p[2] = p[2].replace(',', '.');

        for(int i=0;i<p.length;i++) {
            System.out.println(i + " " + p[i]);
        }

Thanks for trying to fix this hobgoblin.

Try forcing a US locale for the String.format call:

Server/Client.java; line 260
change from:
output = String.format("f%s^%d^%f^%d^%f^%d^%b\n",

to:
output = String.format(Locale.US, "f%s^%d^%f^%d^%f^%d^%b\n",

Let me know if you have any luck
Jack
