Is there a relatively simple extra code / way (for someone who is not a high level programmer) to get op25 to record the calls?

The ultimate goal is to connect it to a rdio-scanner
( I think I only have to save recordings in the same Name format identical to Sdrtrunk does ... )

Example:
Code:
($date_time)($SystemName)_($Site)_TRAFFFIC__TO_($talkgroup)_FROM_($RadioID).mp3

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give some information on the subject :)

Trunk Recorder?

I have not checked it yet
Does it support multi sites?
Disadvantages / advantages over op25?
Trunk Recorder includes a large chunk of (older) op25 code. It's main purpose is to record to file all activity on a system so you may need more than one sdr device so that you can cover the full spectrum. op25 only needs a single sdr device for single audio stream output, but optionally can have more if you want parallel streams.

What are the differences in performance between the old code and the new code

I've no clue the last time Trunk Recorder pulled any op25 updates, or even which version he may have pulled from. Suggest you take a test-drive or three and see which works best for your scenario. I can say that I'm presently working on some significant boatbod op25 demodulator improvements that are going to make tuning significantly simpler and not require so much fine tuning. That code is in my dev branch but is likely to be promoted to the mainline in the near future.

Sounds cool ... I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for that. Why do not you think to add a recording option, it sounds to me something relatively simple

Nope, it would have never occurred to anyone to add the rx.py "-L" option in OP25...
That was my question at the top of the post

Basically I have already been able to work with the trunk-recorder for some reason I have new noises that I have not yet resolved ...

But wait!
I definitely prefer working with op25
So there is an option through op25 logfile_workers?
So what do I set in this parameter for recording?

I tried to Google it for information, nothing

The only one I found on the subject

(Does not sound particularly encouraging)

The truth is that SDRTRUNK works not bad overall
I'm just looking for a more stable solution on Linux without a GUI for something that will work for a long time without any glitches :)

By the way the sound quality of the trunk-recorder does not very good

Make sure you're using the Osmocom repo for "-L" because I'm pretty sure it doesn't work in my (boatbod) repo's variant.
