I keep getting the following error in trunk recorder:
(error) Failed parsing Config: [json.exception.type_error.302] (/broadcastifySystemId) type must be number, but is string

The particular line I think it is referencing is:
"broadcastifySystemId": "xxx",

xxx is the three digit number assigned by broadcastify. I have retyped the number and saved the config, and still get the error. I was running a Broadcastify Raspberry Pi Feed Appliance Image, and built a Ubuntu machine, and simply copied the known working config.json file over.

Any suggestions?

Just remove the quotes and enter your assigned Broadcastify Calls nodeID as the number only.

I fixed this in version 3.01 of the Broadcastify Calls Pi Image

kslager states that the "broadcastifySystemId": "xxx" is a 3-digit number but I've always used a 4-digit one.

"... type must be boolean, but is string"

I've removed the quotes and re-typed the number - then saved and rebooted - same error.

I'm not the authority on this kind of stuff, but it seems as if it's looking for a "TRUE" or "FALSE" value, or perhaps a "0" or a "1", instead of a string of characters.

Boolean is true/false data.

My quotes are for emphasis, it also is likely not expecting a quoted value.

Then it becomes all the more puzzling.

SID is typically a multi-digit number.

kslager posted his error as "... type must be number, but is string"

My version of trunk-recorder generated "... type must be boolean, but is string".

Perhaps the error I received is itself erroneous?

Please disregard - I confused lines on the screen.

The error I'm getting is " "talkgroupDisplayFormat": "tag_id", "

There's no mention online of that - so I'll try just deleting the line.
