Hi guys,
I've updated the java app, but still not working

I cant get the utility to run. when I try to run this : flare-arcade-1.0.0.jar
the PC does noting.
If I try run with admin rights, I get the following error:

"The file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default App Settings page"

Can someone please help me with trying to fix this?

 

In Reaper (OSX), i just dragged an audioloop from Media Explorer onto one of the keys in Arcade.
Works !

One thing i did notice: the size of Arcade's GUI (set in its settings area) isn't remembered when re-opening Arcade.
It re-opens in Large size, i want it to be set to Medium size, period.

 

Did you install the free Java Development Kit ?
Cause this is what you need, not the "normal" Java installer.

 

Thanks Flare. I really appreciate your hard work on this, but could you please help me with getting the : flare-arcade-1.0.0.jar to run.

Please read my post above

Cheers

 

Got some Edge Webview error in Studio One folder when I launched the Arcade for the second time, fixed it by giving more permissions. Working very nicely now.

 

Download and install the latest Java JDK from here:

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk16-downloads.html

 

@Flare

 

Hi, thanks for you reply. Ive downloaded and installed this: jdk-16.0.1_windows-x64_bin.exe

Still noting??

Update:

Ok, this really strange as I ended downloading and installing the Java Dev Kit on 3 occasions, after the 3rd install, the flare utility worked.

Thanks guys for you replies, what do you do next please?

 

why when I try to open it on standalone do I get 'you do not have permission to open the application "Arcade" Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance.

and when I try to start Logic Pro up it says that "Aracade.component" is damaged and cant be opened

where does the arcade.aaxplugin go?

I'm on Big Sur, has anyone else had this problem with Big sur?

Found the culprit. Not enough permissions to the C:\ProgramData\Output folder or file inside..
But what still doesn't work is the sound preview of kits and saving favorites. Maybe anyone else find a fix if it works for Flare and testers!??


If drag'n'drop samples to Arcade or previewing of samples doesn't work change permissions of the c:\ProgramData\Output Folder.

1. Access the Properties dialog box of the Output folder with right click on it.
   
2. Select the Security tab.
   
3. Click Edit. ...
   
4. Give your user account or user group all permissions with the check boxes below.
   (maybe a specific file/folder is enough but i like the hammer method!)
   
5. Click OK. ...
   
6. Click OK.

this seems legit because i started to see something I haven't before in the Command Prompt like "writing tag to .db" or something, definitely permission problems. The importing process also became super slow, it was only a minute or so before now it's almost 5 minutes, not even finished 1 (one) folder/expansion/content.



What I did (WIN10/64Bit) :

1. press start, search for "java", right click "run as admin".
2. press start again, search for "javaw", right click "run as admin"
3. press start again, type in "CMD", right click "run as admin"
4. browse to the flare utility folder and "java -jar flare-arcade-1.0.0.jar"
5. after finishing 1 folder/expansion/content (After Hours), i run the DAW and guess what ? all the mofckng content is finally there!

here's the screenshot :



Thanks to everyone that involved in helping me, I promise to not forget yall when I finally become a Billionaire!

This finally allow to drag own sample to Arcade, weirdly enough, the preview button works for the dragged sample!

 

To be able to favorite a kit, you'll have to:

1. Load and open the kit
2. Go to the middle top
3. Click on the 3 dots
4. Click on "Save as custom kit" (It may show 3 buttons, click on "Save as"
5. (This is optional) Change the name, description anything in the advanced tab if you'd like.
6. Click Save

This is the only way to "Favorite" a kit as that feature is available only to the online version.

Also the audio previews seem/might be streamed through their servers so they probably wouldn't work in the offline version.

 

Does anyone else experience occasional freezing in Studio One when Arcade is being used? For example switching from Arcade to any VST and then coming back to Arcade freezes the whole Studio One for about 20 seconds.

 

Got the utility finally to work uninstalled java and installed the developer version as mentioned here.

 

On Bitwig 3 no problems.

 

I got it to work too. The content is really high quality. Thx a lot Flare. Dream come true
Now I am importing all the kits. It seems to be a bit unhandy, to have so much kits in Arcade. It takes forever to scroll, it hangs up a lot... And I have all content on a high speed SSD. I wish the offline version would allow the lines view to work.

I use Arcade in Reason 11. When I load it as a VST I cannot enter something in the search field. When I load Arcade standalone the search field works, but no tags. Is this behavior as it is expected? Does Searching work in other DAWS?

 

When you get it to work, you gotta share your method for people who are reading.
Which platform are you on and which steps did you take to make it work ?

 

Exactly...I really don't know how to get it to work on Mac...Logic Pro says the component is damaged and so does cubase. When I try to launch into standalone mode I am told I do not have permission.

 

All information I needed was here in the forum. I am on windows 10 using Reason 11:

1. Installed Arcade
2. Installed the newest JDK which contains the up-to-date JRE.
   1. https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk16-downloads.html
3. Open the import utility
   
   1. Opened a command prompt as Administrator
   2. navigate to the folder where the imoprt utility is
   3. java -jar flare-arcade-1.0.0.jar (important or the imported stuff will not appear in Arcade)
4. Import Arcade Content
   1. The "Arcade Content" folder was automatically filled correctly: C:\ProgramData\Output\Arcade\Arcade Content
   2. The "Import from" folder: "<Your location>\Arcade Content\After Hours"
   3. Click Import --> I takes a while
   4. Adapt the "Import from" location for every content folder and repeat steps 2 and 3 for every pack you want to install.
      
      1. next would be "<Your location>\Arcade Content\Aura"

Thats it
