Permissions Error on Windows

[KR0SIV]

I'm having a permission error when attempting to run this on Windows 7 in an administrative cmd prompt.

C:\Users\Harold\Downloads\hdfm-master\hdfm-master>Traceback (most recent call la st): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\Harold\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\multiproce ssing\spawn.py", line 99, in spawn_main new_handle = reduction.steal_handle(parent_pid, pipe_handle) File "C:\Users\Harold\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\multiproce ssing\reduction.py", line 87, in steal_handle _winapi.DUPLICATE_SAME_ACCESS | _winapi.DUPLICATE_CLOSE_SOURCE) PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

I have the nrsc5.exe and it's libnrsc5.dll application extension in the same folder and have checked that I have permissions. Not sure why I'm getting this error.

I've done some research on the problem and it looks like it has something to do with the subprocess module not playing well with Windows. When I developed the program, I only tested it on Mac and Linux, for lack of a Windows machine that I could get NRSC5 running on.

I plan on doing another refactoring of the code around December this year (maybe earlier if I can spare the time). My goal is to make a bundled version that doesn't require Python or anything else to be installed to run the program. At that time I will also test it on Windows and make sure everything is working.

If you would really like to try it in the mean time, I would recommend running it on a Raspberry Pi (if accessible) or live booting your Windows machine to Linux and temporarily trying to run everything.

I gave it a shot, ran into the same issue.

I'm using python 3.9.1 32bit in windows 10.

When I launch your python code it does start the radio station playing and populates the dump folder with the images so thats great. However; Python spits out errors and the nrsc5.exe file continues to run in the background even after exiting out of python, so it has to be manually stopped with task manager to be able to relaunch your code or change the channel. Also the nrsc5.exe does not display any window. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried running as administrator but it has the same issue.

@KR0SIV and @huseman21 Try installing the latest release: https://github.com/KYDronePilot/hdfm/releases/latest. I've completely rewritten the program as a standalone Rust binary so these issues should be gone.
