TwoToneDetect New TwoToneDetect in the works - Python based

NameError: name 'inv_input_device_indices' is not defined

Ah. This would appear to be a sound card issue. Is any scanner or audio plugged into the computer, or did you just try setting up the software and starting it? If there is nothing plugged into the computer try plugging something - scanner patch cable, any pair of headphones, an old 3.5mm (1/8") stereo jack by itself - into the microphone or line in jack. See if the computer recognizes it in the sound control panel as an input source. Then try relaunching the software. If that doesn't work we will need to see why the computer / TTD is not detecting an audio input device.

Sometimes the new "intelligent" drivers try to disable the inputs if nothing is plugged in. Had this happen on an HP machine. Have to leave an old headphone cable plugged into the speaker port just so the soundcard driver thinks there is an output device connected. Otherwise TTD would crash as well. Check both and try again.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any luck sending to Nextel users? I'm trying to send AMR attachments to number@messaging.nextel.com but the messages are bouncing back.

Do I need to send as MP3? Since Sprint bought Nextel do I need to send to the Sprint MMS gateway instead? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

Andy,

Send an email to yourself from their phone SMS/MMS app. It will show their phone email address.

TTD60

Hi all,
I am trying to set up TTD60 on an Acer Windows Vista computer as a dedicated page to text system for the FD I belong to. I have also disabled automatic updates and power saving modes. After setting up a dedicated gmail account, the tone sets, and cell phone contact list TTD60 will log and record the pages but will not email them out. I have tried using just the gmail user ID and the gmail account name with no success. I have the email server set for smtp.gmail.com and the port set to 465(the settings that are being used by Window Mail). Ran degug and log says "Succesfully retrieved local tone info" and then tone 1, tone 2, tone 3, then a list of what I think are DTMF freq's that are being scanned. Any help getting this up and running will be greatly appreciated, as my chief and several others really want this.

Sparky, try port 587

Thanks, just reset the port. One other thing I just noticed after returning from a call the audio folder is empty.
Call was logged but no stored audio. Any suggestions on where to look? TTD60 is configured to use the Realtek high def microphone input.

Thanks in advance,
Sparky 604

Try port 587 on the gmail. That is what I use and it works.

Sparky604,
Do you have FFMPEG.exe from the archive linked by Andy on his site? It might be that Andy set the software to not retain the WAV files anymore. If FFMpeg is not there it wont convert and then deletes the software. Also check the log.txt after your tones are detected (or make a fake tone and activation mp3 and play it into the computer) to see if it says MP3 email sent and, if enabled, AMR email. If FFMPEG is messing those will not be sent.

Next thing to do is to check to see if the audio level is going into the software. You said the call was logged meaning it detected right?

 

[sparky604]

Hi,
Yes on the monitor page I see when our call came in. FFMPEG was downloaded and log.txt only says local tone received successfully. Will try reloading the ffmpeg file.

Thanks,
Sparky 604

Do you have another sound card you can try it with? I think that when people have had this problem in the past it's been related to a sound card that doesn't play well for some reason. You could also try using the "Microsoft Sound Mapper" as the input instead of that specific sound card, and set that sound card as the default recording device in Windows.

I have tried this on the same machine, My Audio Input Level is 3/4 of the bar. While on the old version that i am running it is barely viable. My old version is 21 and the new version is 60. Will try a different scanner tonight along with a different PC. See if i can duplicate this issue.

TTD60

Reloaded FFMPEG yesterday. Today it logged and e-mailed an EMS page and logged an FD page. It appears progress is being made.

Thanks for the help,

log.txt only says local tone received successfully.

Can you please post part of that log? I would like to see what it is showing. especially right after it got that tone and the associated info after that.

You are unzipping FFMPEG right? You need ffmpeg.exe in your program directory, not ffmpeg.zip.

Andy,
I have unzipped the latest 32-bit static build each time I saved it to the TTD 60 folder. I have deleted the previous files before loading the new.

It's not seeing ffmpeg for some reason. Can you confirm that the file ffmpeg.exe is in the TwoToneDetect program directory? That file should be in the same directory as your tones.cfg file. It should not be in a subfolder within that directory.

Andy,
I was unzipping FFMPEG into it's own folder within the TTD60 folder. Took the FFMPEG application file and moved it to the TTD60 folder. EMS was paged out this afternoon, call was logged MP3 was emailed as well as an amr email sent out, and the audio of the page recorded in the audio folder. Have not confirmed whether message actually went out to phones(working on that now). One interesting thing I did notice is that the audio file was 1:30 when record time is set at 0:30. Is this because the "ignore after" is set at 0:60 in tone editor.

Thanks,
Sparky604

]One interesting thing I did notice is that the audio file was 1:30 when record time is set at 0:30. Is this because the "ignore after" is set at 0:60 in tone editor.

Actually that sounds more like a release_time issue. When the dispatcher unkeys the mic does the audio go back below the squelch level? When there is nothing being transmitted you want to adjust the system to say "no audio". This ill trip the release_time. Andy has it set for 60 seconds of time AFTER the record time if the audio doesn't go silent. Check that release parameter (it is a global in config). If it is set to long the system might not drop out and send quickly. Otherwise see what the audio file has in it with a program like Audacity.
