  • syncterm sound issue / cache

    From MRO@1:103/705 to All on Tue Oct 27 01:37:28 2026
    Hello, i found an issue when testing syncterm on telnetvision.

    if the entry name has these characters which winDERZ won't allow in
    a directory name: :?*"<>|/\ syncterm will not create that cache direcotry
    in
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\SyncTERM

    and sound will not work.

    i had an astrisk in my directory entry and i spent a looooong time trying to figure out why the hell goterm and icyterm were playing sound fine and
    syncterm stopped.

    Please let dooce know. thanks.

    The correct place to report SyncTERM issues is sf.net. I filed this one for you:
