Did you ever sort out problem #1? I have finally figured out (I think) how to get the TTD70 executable to start automatically. However, only from the command line, not the GUI version. If that would help, let me know.

Did you ever sort out problem #1? I have finally figured out (I think) how to get the TTD70 executable to start automatically. However, only from the command line, not the GUI version. If that would help, let me know.
I was able to determine why this stopped working with the 1803 update:
There's a new Microphone Privacy Settings snap-in. Search "microphone privacy settings" and ensure that both "Microphone Access for the Device" and "Allow Apps to Access this Microphone" are both on. Then TTD opens perfectly.
I've had the odd instance of TTD either outright crashing or just randomly locking up, which of course I don't realize until I see that I'm missing calls. Does anyone have a good way of restarting the program, say once daily? (I'm running on Windows BTW). I think I've seen discussion before of using task scheduler to stop and start the service? Or something along those lines anyways.... Open to any suggestions!
Just a thought about a future enhancement.... how about the option to send a periodic test email/text (likely just to the system administrator) just to indicate things are up, running and working as expected? Perhaps have a user configurable time period (daily, weekly etc). Might be kind of handy....
If you setup a second redundant instance of TTD on a second computer (TwoToneDetect Redundancy | TwoToneDetect) you can configure it to email you whenever either goes down. As a less complex means of monitoring the computer, set up a Broadcastify feed and have it send you a text/email whenever it goes down.
Thanks for the link regarding the redundancy... I'll take a look at that. As for the Broadcasitfy feed, I do run one.... from the same PC. Doesn't help me though when TTD crashes.
Sorry, i am not much help on TTD running on Windows. I haven’t owned a Windows computer in over ten years. My linux units on the raspberry pi’s each have a programmed daily reboot. They will also lock up if running continuously. Someone should be able to steer you toward how to do it on Windows.
I'm kind of thinking about that route too... I've got a Pi3 sitting here idle, looking for a job. Might tinker with that this weekend and see if I can get it up and running in the Linux world.
That pi3 could serve as the redundant backup unit to your Windows setup.
Some pages coming in late
Hello all, we have been using TTD at our fire station for a few years now, and are currently using a raspberry pi. We have been getting along really good for the past several months, but recently some of the pages don't come through to our phones for sometimes several hours after the page, even though TTD says the emails have been sent. Yesterday, we had 2 pages 2 minutes apart for the same call. The first page came in as a MMS within a minute. The second page audio was about an hour later. Any ideas what may be causing the delay?

If they were Verizon customers there was an "outage" recently that caused delays in text messages. This most likely is the cause.

Nope, all of them are either U.S. Cellular, or Chariton Valley
I will bet that they are in bed with VZ.

No Luck Yet
Thanks DC31.
I've managed to get it to run from the command line too, but still no luck on the GUI.
I've got it running on an old windows netbook for now. I'll probably take the easy way out and pick up an older PI so I can use my MATE again!
Thanks!, Doug

Nawfire,
I have a test script for you to try if you are trying to run 70 on a new Pi. Are you interested?
Ironically this seems to only work with GUI not command line.
My test box at home has been running for almost two weeks.
It is a systemd script.

Anyone know the working cricket gateway mms that works with TTD?

Two Tone Detect
I will be setting up a raspberry pi with TTD. I currently have a PI running for broadcastify. My question is will I be able to make the TTD start running automatically after a power failure?

Yes you can do this but it's not as simple as it is on windows, if you google for info on starting programs in linux on startup there are some tutorials
There is a launch.sh script that is run out of crontab and takes care of this already
