Broadcastify Calls - New Playlist Management Features

[blantonl]

You guys asked for a groups browser where you can mass add groups to your Broadcastify Calls playlists by location and tag. It's now available. It will show you groups captured within the last 30 days.

I'm sure there are some bugs, let me hear about them.

Enjoy!

That's really awesome! Is there a simple way to prevent encrypted talkgroups from showing up on the browser list? For example, the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department is encrypted. Occasionally, there might be a few blips of unencrypted radio traffic, but 99% of the time it's encrypted.

If it’s been captured in the past 30 days it’s showing up

So far, everything has been working wonderfully. As for a feature request, what if we could select multiple tags for a search to broaden the results? For example, instead of having to search for law dispatch and fire dispatch separately, it would be convenient to select both tags at once to obtain more comprehensive search results.

Good ideas... Thanks for the feedback.

This is so great!!! Is it available on the app.?

Possible bug in the Quick Add Group section… It looks like it’s not filtering out encrypted TG’s.

If you want to repro, search for `A-Sector Talkaround` and you’ll notice an entry from Plano PD shows up, but if you set the browser to USA > TX > Collin, you can’t find it anywhere because encrypted TG’s appear to be filtered out.

Reference:
Plano, TX RRDB Entry

If it has been captured by a SDR, for whatever reason (bad decode, or quick non-encrypted transmission) it's going to show up in the list

The Radio Scanner app has support for these. The RR app has been abandoned.

There is no app today that has support for Broadcastify calls…

My mistake. What did I confuse, from the other thread, that Radio Scanner does support?

I'm loving the new playlist feature! A couple of low priority requests: Navigation by up/down arrow keys on laptop and pressing the return key to play the selected call. I have to tap the play button multiple times almost every time before I tap it just right. (Making the area around the arrow clickable would help maybe?) Thanks for the great feature!

YES! I thought it was just me.

Can I share my playlist with my elderly parents if they create an account and I copy and paste a link to them? Great feature!

Playlists are private by default and cannot be shared. To make a playlist available to the public, see here:

Calls - Public Playlists Now Available

I've rolled out two public playlists for testing https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/2579 https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/2699 If you are a calls provider and want to "publish a list" to a county, start building your playlists and soon I'll reach out here to solicit you to let...

Thank you very much for your reply. One more quick question : Our county has less than 10,000 people and often only 1 deputy on duty at night. We rely on surrounding counties for man power so much of our radio traffic is to and from other counties for local issues. Would it make sense to the admins if I included a couple of the most relied upon surrounding resources for my county's playlist, or should I strictly keep the list as internal county only resource? Thanks for your quick reply on my previous post. I appreciate all the support this community provides.

It's entirely up to you how to setup your playlist. It can be a mix and match of anything on the calls system (within the feed provider terms of service) up to a maximum of 30 talkgroups/frequencies.

When a playlist is made public is needs to be assigned a county. Probably best to choose the county the majority of the talkgroups/frequencies cover. Like traditional audio feeds it can likely also be added to multiple counties. Inquire about it when you submit your request.
