Update / Reinstallation

To change the on-air computer or reinstall AUDICOM, follow this procedure:
1

Install on the new computer

Install AUDICOM using the original installer. The new computer must have the same network name as the original computer.
2

Replace AUDICOM folder

Replace the C:\AUDICOM folder created by the installer on the new computer with the C:\AUDICOM folder from the current computer.
3

Replace ADMICOM folder

Replace the C:\ADMICOM folder created by the installer on the new computer with the C:\ADMICOM folder from the current computer.
4

Version update (optional)

If you want to update the AUDICOM version, you must have an active support and updates contract. The annual support service includes remote access by a specialized technician to update and configure the system.
Users can install updates by downloading them from www.solidyne.ar. To install an update, select the “Modular - Reinstall” option:
  • Installs the same programs as the generic mode but allows choosing individual modules from a menu.
  • Updates are usually distributed as a single executable file downloadable from the web.
Although the installer does not overwrite user information, always make updated backups of the C:\AUDICOM folder before updating.

Files to backup

  • \Audicom\AUDIO: audio files.
  • \Audicom\DB: music database, contains user.ini (users) and data.sqlite (Media Asset Management).
  • \Audicom\Log\*.log: commercial breaks programming.
  • \Audicom\Pgm\*.pgm: programs and blocks organization. Includes playlists (.pls, .m3u, .txt).
  • \Audicom\Air\*.air: records of titles broadcast on air.
    Backup only if the station wants to maintain a complete history. Each .air file takes approximately 80 KB.
  • \Admicom\: contains the entire administration database.
Never reinstall the demo database or demonstration programming files, as this would overwrite the station’s actual database.
