Yup, "Audio per packet" must be set to the default value for audio recording to work properly.
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.

Glad to hear it’s working!
That is a known issue, but I think I need to document that better.
The cause is that the lua bot currently has no means to tell the actual samples spacing/speed.
Probably that can be concluded/calculated, tough.

Edit: opened a ticket for tracking: https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/issues/152

So, i just had fun trying to implement this.

I deployed a solution to the test server, so you should be able to do a recording regardless of the client setting.
With local testing, however i had choppy playback with the 60 audio per packet setting - it seems that this is too much data to fit into the packets, leading to audio drop of parts of the samples (so it sounds choppy).
10, (20 of course) and 40 worked fine locally.

Hi,
Your recordings and mine work well. My recording was a little low-quality, but that could just be the Mumble 1.14 or my microphone.

Putting aside that usability issue, I have one more question regarding enroute control. Could I create RCOs?
My passengers receive hazard pay... but at least I have fun.

Cheers,

FGCom-mumble badically just knows about „devices“ bound to „locations“.
So basically you should be able to handle two different locations with one mumble instance by connecting another client to it (like another radioGUI for instance).
This could be useful to extend your atc radio range.

What is not possible is to record what is sent on a frequency and relay that to another; and from a quick google this is probably what you want.
Honestly I heard from RCOs the first time (but I’m also no real pilot)

Yes, bridging frequencies together certainly does happen, but I'm not in a rush to see it implemented as we can already monitor multiple radios. I'll have a try with the built-in ATC radio + multiple radio GUIs at different locations to see how well it works.

Mumble 1.4 was released!
https://www.mumble.info/blog/mumble-1.4.230/

FGCom-mumble 1.0.0 released!
This means, that the plugin framework finally hit production and I can start to prepare the first initial 1.0.0 Release of the FGCom-Mumble project.
The FGCom-Mumble 1.0.0 release was already published :)

My goal would be to get a corresponding channel on the "official" mumble-radio.flightgear.fr mumble server, in order to have all mumble related on a single server.
This will probably still take quite some time, because it depends on when that server will be upgraded to the latest mumble software release.

That leaves the question for hosting unresolved for now.
https://fgcom.hallinger.org currently hosts the bots and statuspage, and in theory that can remain so. OTOH it would probably be good to have this moved to some more official place. If we can't find such a place, maybe I can rework the test server and then have some "official" domain name point to it.
Any volunteers?

Congratulations to you! I will see about the radio-mumble French server. It may take several days since the manager is only today coming back after a long break.

So, news from the server admin.
The mumble-radio.flightgear.fr service will take quite some time for the next OS update cycle to get mumble 1.4 into stable, so for now I will continue to keep the testing server up.
From the OS project there is no currently available release datum for the next stable release.

I will keep you posted, for now use:
- mumble://fgcom.hallinger.org (mumble-server)
- https://fgcom.hallinger.org (status page)

Someone made a cool install video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTRzfVfkgZE

Thank you!

(As a side note, it states that HF is not yet implemented - but it is! Even UHF is modelled)

Nice, its DorDek Kiddy, he has also made a test of the KAP 140.
I dont think he is on the forum. Thats sad because we can give him information from first hand to show it on Youtube.
There are many developer that didn't make videos (like me) and he make realy good videos.

I have a feeling DorDek Kiddy contributes on the forum (and maybe even this thread) but under a different name so is probably aware of the new features.

Oops! Apparently I only read the first post of the issue page and missed the fact that it's been worked on. Correction comment incoming.
