Hi Arie,
ah, ok, now that we know where you've got your windows
installation from:
As far as I can read Geof's table, the gr-osmosdr component
compiled into that package does *not* have SDRPlay support. One
would need to re-build the library and link it against the SDRPlay
API DLL to make it work.
So unless you want to take the big dive and compile that
gr-osmosdr DLL yourself (which I must admit I'd assume pretty much
only Geof could help you with, as I'm absolutely no expert on the
build process behind these binaries, I'm afraid), this won't work.
As far as I understand (but I'm not a lawyer), the SDRPlay
library is closed source and hence can't be linked to GPL code
(like GNU Radio and gr-osmosdr) and then be distributed, so Geof's
hands are tied here.
Best regards,
Marcus

Hello Marcus, Martin,
Thank you for your prompt response. Here's the story in short:
My system: Windows 10 on a I7-6700 with lots of memory.
I installed GNURadio_3.7.10.1_win64 (for Windows) first.
Osmocom-source is included that package.
Results: OK, I can make sounds by using an internal source
in gnuradio, etc.
Then I installed the SDRUNO software (an SDR program for use
with the SDRPlay). Then plugged in the SDRplay.
Result: Working OK, as it should. Good shortwave
reception, as well as VHF.
Making the last step: GNURadio and the SDRPlay hardware.
No way I can make it work. The feedback from GNURadio is below.
It seems that it cannot find the SDRPlay.
I have visited many sites, including the one Marcus suggested,
sdr.osmocom.org
Despite the fact that it looks to me that's all about Linux (now
very little of that) and not Windows, I found the words 'API
driver for windows' and downloaded it from the SDRPlay site and
installed it.
Result: still not working.
I'm stuck :(
Hence my question.
Kind regards,
Arie

Arie,
can you please provide more info on your platform, what you've tried so
far, and how that failed.
