I tried to PM you but this was too large.
I'm close. I had the metadata working before I got the audio working (in the terminal it was working anyhow but now it doesn't) but I must have tweaked the wrong thing somewhere along the way.
My start string command I put in my first terminal is:
./rx.py --nocrypt --args "rtl=0" --gains 'lna:36' -S 57600 -q 0 -d 0 -v 1 -2 -T trunk.tsv -V -w -M meta.json 2> stderr.2 and it runs in the terminal like it should.
My trunk.tsv looks like:
"Sysname" "Control Channel List" "Offset" "NAC" "Modulation" "TGID Tags File" "Whitelist" "Blacklist" "Center Frequency"
"Wyolink" 155.505 "0x1a4" "cqpsk" "wyolink.tsv"
and my wyolink.tsv has my talkgroups working correctly in my first terminal running op25 as it shows the alpha tags I've given to my tgids.
My meta.json file looks like:
{
"icecastPass": "mypassword",
"icecastMountpoint": "/op25",
<--I'm not sure this is correct.
"icecastServerAddress": "10.1.4.189:8000",
<-----where my op25/liquid soap and icecast are running.
"delay": "0.0", "icecastMountExt": ".m3u",
"meta_format_idle": "[idle]",
"meta_format_tgid": "[%TGID%]",
"meta_format_tag": "[%TGID%] %TAG%"
My 2nd terminal looks like:

In my 3rd terminal, I get errors when I run
jd@TechLaptop:~/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps$ tail -f stderr.2
10/22/21 13:55:46.125941 meta_server::send_metadata(): metadata update error: 400
10/22/21 13:55:47.598040 voice update: tg(1010), freq(155820000), slot(-), prio(3)
10/22/21 13:55:47.659424 meta_server::send_metadata(): metadata update error: 400
So it appears this 3rd terminal is calling for something I don't have set right that I screwed up along the way. Perhaps there is another file I've screwed up not listed above.
Thanks again for the help. It's close!
this morning I forgot I closed all my terminals, now that I have all 3 going again) the mountpoint is /op25. On that same page when I click on "List Clients" it shows none, even though I am trying to connect to 10.1.4.189:8000 with Winamp. However, I don't find a way to add a password in Winamp. Is that something that needs done?
