Hi,

I've just been testing out the latest Windows builds at
https://ftp.osmocom.org/binaries/windows/rtl-sdr/, but they do not seem to
be up to date.

I tested the latest October 18 2026 zip file, and found that rtl_test does
not detect the RTL-SDR Blog V4L.

But if I compile from source from the Osmocom rtl-sdr GitHub, I get working
V4L support for Windows and Linux, so the source is working fine.

So it seems that the automatic builds are not working correctly and are
using old code to build librtlsdr.dll and possibly everything else?

Regards,
Carl Laufer

Thank you for bringing this up. I looked at how it works, and indeed
there was just an old, unmaintained jenkins job that fetches binaries
from this upstream project among others:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/network:osmocom:mingw:mingw32

As it says there, this was last changed 7 years ago. The jenkins job
just repackaged the same binaries every week into a zip file and
published them under the current date.

I have now removed the jenkins job as it is clearly not useful in its
current form, and created https://osmocom.org/issues/6706 in case we may
want to bring back and modernize this at some point. Given that nobody
else has complained over the last 7 years, it seems nobody is using this
though.

Best regards,
Oliver
