I’m having a problem with some talk groups in my playlist repeating themselves. I’ve only had these playlists setup a couple of weeks and they’ve been working great. The last few days they will repeat. For example a dispatcher will dispatch a call and it will repeat the same call a second latter. It’s not all talk groups that are doing this. And it’s not always the same talk groups. Any ideas

Are you feeding more than Broadcastify? I had the same problem, and discovered an issue with Trunkrecorder where if one of the uploads failed, then when it tried again, it uploaded to both sites on the second or third try.

No I’m not a feed provider. Just listening earlier while driving. When I got home I checked it again. It was still repeating. Checked on Windows PC. Still the same.🤷🏼‍♂️

I get this on a statewide net that has my own calls feed and someone in a neighboring county. The duplicate calls detection doesn't catch it because there is a delay ON the RF side. My node captures the RF from the dispatcher at my local state police post. The node for the next county over receives it a second or so later because of the latency in the microwave links on the Motorola side.

Therefore I'll often hear the state police twice on my playlist. Once from my node and again from my neighboring county.

You can check if this is your problem by clicking on the magnifying glass and seeing which node sent the call.

Ok thanks I’ll check that if it starts repeating again. Right now it’s back to normal. It was only doing it on the playlist. MyBFCY and two scanner apps didn’t have any problems.

Another question on this. I’m setting up a playlist for my nephew. Downriver in The Detroit Michigan area. Just about everything is repeated twice. It is two different nodes broadcasting the same transmissions. Is there anyway of blocking one node?

Thank you for all the hard work. I had switched and started listening to just node 255 for my area. The playlists had been cutting the transmissions off and repeating. Both of those issues are now fixed.

Thanks for this outstanding feature and addition to Broadcastify! It works really well!!

I'm listening w/ a desktop browser and one feature I really like is the tab title changes and shows the display name of the talkgroup currently playing. For instance, "SPPD CH 2 C", etc. That's especially helpful when in a different browser tab to know what talkgroup is currently broadcasting without having to switch back to the Broadcastify tab.
