Could I have help setting up boatbod for DMR (non-trunked) reception and decoding? Nothing appears in the terminal window after starting except "Allocating 15 zero-copy buffers". There is no audio,

Raspberry Pi 4, Bookworm, XFCE, updated

I am using the gr3.10 branch. I have p25 trunking working well on this Pi4.
I am apparently receiving signal. It shows in Spectrum and 4 lines in symbol. Pressing 2 shows no plot.
I keep seeing "Allocating 15 zero-copy buffers" in the terminal when I activate plots.

UDP and audio ports were different.
I now have audio.
Symbol plot is 4 lines.
The terminal only shows "Allocating 15 zero-copy buffers", not the talkgroup or slot. I'm not sure if I am decoding both slots.

Sorry, the terminal doesn't do anything useful for non-trunked reception.

Thanks. I though I messed something up.
I can get the web page going, but it says waiting for data. Is this also normal or am I missing a switch somewhere?

The terminal & web page do the same thing, which in the case of DMR is nothing because there is no trunking activity to report on.
