The main feature of this release is the support for MyDSLWebStats. It's based on the second test version recently supplied, with some remaining tweaks and bug fixes. For the complete list of changes since the last full release, see the Changelog (http://www.s446074245.websitehome.co.uk/changelog.html).
Linux users should be aware that support for MyDSLWebStats depends on the program curl being installed. As far as I can tell, the version is not now important.
For Windows users, a suitable version of curl.exe is included in the download, and should be copied along with all the other included files.

**** One thing I should have mentioned is that the MyDSLWebStats feature probably won't work with Windows 2000.
**** Raspberry Pi version now available for download.

Downloaded and executing. Data also being uploaded to MDWS. :)
-
Thank you.
-
Version 5.0.11 was running on linux since 5 days uploading to MDWS without any errors. v5.1 does the same until now.
Does anyone know if uploading to MDWS would work on a raspberry pi?
Thank you.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....
My problems with the Dlink 2640B which suddenly appeared some versions ago and were subsequently fixed have re-appeared in the exactly same form as the previous problems
I was/am using ver 4.54.2 which worked OK
just upgraded to v5.1 - pretty well nothing works.
On v5.1 the only graphs to appear and have data on them is the SNR margin one and the errors ones
All the rest are blank...QLn,Hlog,tones as is the stats tab text which is a totally blank page.
(Telnet data pages are OK with the seemingly correct raw numbers/texts from the dlink)
On the main SNR page the connection rates numbers are all blank as are the uptime lines - but the 2640B does NOT report the AS uptime anyway so that never worked even on the correctly working versions of Dslstats.....which as I distantly recall was the source of the original problem when it emerged.
I think at this point I will go and hide as you probably did not really want to hear from me.

have just installed dslstats v5.1 and is currently set as the default mydslstats uploader, all looks well on my setup :) and just paused while in your download site my thoughts go out to you eric when seeing you have to change the code for 4 different Operating Systems :ouch:
-
@c6em: No need to hide. :) I'll need to check back on what I changed to fix the original problem, then maybe I'll see where it went wrong again.
-
@NewtronStar: Thanks for your thoughts, but it's not quite as bad as that. Lazarus is a cross-platform development system, so in principle I only have to write the code once, then build it for the different systems.

Thanks for the report.
I'm intending to build a RPi version in the next day or so.

Don't hurry, I don't have a RPi. Maybe I'll going to get one.
Has anyone here some experience with DSLstats on RPi?

While I have had some "24 hour error stats" issues with various past versions, version with 5.0.2 it was/is working well :) . However with 5.0.11 and 5.1 things have markedly deteriorated and I hope you can reproduce the error.
Running XP with 5.0.2 a reset of the 24 hour stats does what it should, the start time resets to the current time and average errors are reported starting from that time.
This does not happen for me in 5.0.11 or 5.1 the start time sticks to what ever it is on reset. Likewise when I start DSlstats each morning the start time is then the program start time (as I think it should be) but the errors include all errors since last reboot giving silly values.
As I said i hope this is something you can reproduce. i don't think it is anything to do with my standby habits.

I have a one sitting here ready with a little touch screen on top for eventual use!

@c6em and les-70: I hope that the file linked below fixes both your issues. It's just the Windows executable, so unzip it and copy it over dslstats.exe in the v5.1 download.

Sorry to report that 5.1.1 is a bit different but does resolve the issue. It is different as a reset sets all the numbers to zero, whilst 5.1 did not. However the counts then don't seem to come back sensible after the reset. ES has been incorrectly showing zero for a few hours now and the CRC is showing something but it is an unrealistically low count. The 24 hours is also still reported to start yesterday morning when I did a test with 5.0.2 to check that it still worked and reset the 24 hours as part of that test.
Update after exactly 24 hours from the last reset with 5.0.2 the counts restarted correctly from today's date but same time as yesterday. A new reset still behaves as above.
-
In my case the 5.1.1 exe file sorts out most of the problems but not the up/down connection rate data.
On the main SNR graph page the connection rates up and down are listed as both -1
The connection rate graph likewise lists the up/down speed as -1
On the stats summary page again the connection rate is listed as -1 for both up and down
(the real number which is correctly reported in the telnet data tab page is 14067 down and 888 up.
The other graphs seem now OK - so that is Hlog,tones/errors, Qln, and the other text stuff such as system uptime seems OK. AS time is correctly blank as its not reported by the 2640B, and the stats summary page apart from the connection rates is OK for the rest.
-
@les-70: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put this on the back burner for now. I've done my best, and it shows sensible values here on all four operating systems. I'll come back to it, but for the moment there are too many other things to do. Sorry.
@c6em: Thank you for reporting that. I'm fairly sure that I can resolve that last item.
-
OK, I have gone back to 5.0.2 as that worked perfectly for me. If you can't reproduce it and others don't report it I would not waste time on it.
It looks as though if I reset with 5.0.2 then version then 5.1.1 subsequently shows the current in the 24 hours even if I can't use 5.1.1 to reset it. 5.1.1 showed perfect 24 hour stats from the 24 hour anniversary of the start of the previously set reset time made with 5.0.2. It just still fails to reset properly
It looks like it is just setting the new reset time that is not working. I am surprised that my failure for the actual and the shown start time of the 24 hours to reset to the new start time works on your XP but things can be perverse.

Eric
5.1 is working fine for me under Windows 7 if you check the upload version monitor 8)
-
Thanks Tony. :)
-
@c6em: I believe that v5.1.2 should fix your remaining issue - http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=14521.0
-
Now using, ta very much :)
-
YES!
You have nailed whatever it was
All graphs & texts fully functional
Congratulations - take the rest of the week off.......errr..
Seriously you are doing a truly excellent job
As a ex-Fortran programmer writing in-house engineering programs I do indeed appreciate how difficult it is to write stuff when you cannot test all the various paths against a real example - in this case/program my 2640B.

Thanks boost, and thanks c6em for those kind comments.

Has anyone here some experience with DSLstats on RPi?
Yes. Happily running v5.1 on a headless RPi connected to a BT home hub (USB for power, and ethernet) being used as a wireless access point. The RPi is managed using SSH and RDP. The web server in DSLstats creates the pages but does not serve them. Python has a simple web server that fills that gap as posted here previously.
