Thank you........yes the --args corrected my issue. I have it decoding audio just fine to the speaker output and it sounds great again. I will try removing the things that you think I don't need and adjusting the sample size and see how that goes. I did not have my trunk.tsv defined the other day but I had since done all of that along with my talkgroups and whitelist files. It is working now. My next steps will be to get the scripts set up so that it all starts on boot and get the streaming working with Liquid Soap. I would like to continue to be able to output the audio to the speaker as well as streaming. I will work on that beginning tomorrow.

ok, first problem with liquid soap. I was going through the readme and starting at the first step when installing liquid soap I enter the command:
sudo apt-get install liquidsoap liquidsoap-plugin-all
And then after beginning the install I get this message:
Package liquidsoap-plugin-all is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
liquidsoap
E: Package 'liquidsoap-plugin-all' has no installation candidate
sudo apt-get install liquidsoap liquidsoap-plugin-all
And then after beginning the install I get this message:

Try it with just liquidsoap - I got the same message and was able to move forward without the other.
Ok I have set up my op25.liq file along with my meta.json file and I have verified all of my broadcastify settings are correct. OP25 starts and runs fine with the following command:
./rx-py --args 'rtl' -N 'LNA:47' -S 100000 -v 1 -2 -T trunk.tsv -V -M meta.json -w 2> stderr.2
When I open the 2nd terminal to start op25.liq the attached image is what I am getting. It seems that it never completely loads and runs... I am currently at a loss....

I found my own problem! The pulse audio was still commented out in my op25.liq file. I removed the # and it started streaming the audio. The way I was reading and understanding was that it would stream with only the default audio so I never changed the # on the pulseaudio. Now to make it start upon reboot!

Send us the link once you get it going.
Ok I am getting there....
I have successfully gotten OP25 to auto-start at re-boot however Liquid Soap is not starting. When I manually start it the stream becomes active and I can hear audio being decoded over the computer speaker and then on the feed. My op25-liq.service file is as follows:
[Unit]
Description=op25-liq
After=syslog.target network.target nss-lookup.target network-online.target
Requires=network-online.target
[Service]
User=pi
Group=pi
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps
ExecStart=/usr/bin/liquidsoap LFD_Stream.liq
RestartSec=5
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
What am I missing? I have also noticed that the stream starts out about 20-30 seconds behind real time which is exactly how my other stream was working. I have noticed however that over time I was getting almost 2 minutes of lag between real time and when the broadcast was talking. I don't really understand that as everything seems to be working fine and I'm on a wired network connection.

What do you get when you put in:
Code:
sudo systemctl status op25-liq.serviceMine has about the same delay - anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute. I am not completely certain, but the buffering could play a role in that delay, and of course the website itself is a variable that can't be controlled.
Attached is what I get when I run the sudo systemctl status op25-liq.service...
Once I start the .liq file manually I hear audio and the stream starts but otherwise it does not work on boot. OP25 is working on boot just fine.
As for the delay when I was streaming from scannercast and an IntelNUC the delay was 20 seconds or less. This starts out that way but then gets longer however it seems that it gets longer after I've been constantly listening. If I reload the stream it's back to 20-30 seconds. Strange but I will deal with that to get the stream working with the Pi and get a scanner back for other uses. Lol

Did you remember to "enable" the service so that it will autostart at boot?
sudo systemctl enable op25-liq
yes I enabled both services and then started them with the commands from the readme file. I will try this again though as I wouldn't put it past me to have made a mistake somewhere! Lol
By the way here is the link to the audio feed which is working quite well in my opinion: Lewisville Fire Live Audio Feed
Once I get the autostart sorted out this will be awesome! Then I will make a working image of my SD Card because I think I will be doing more audio feeds this way!

If the "sudo systemctl ... start" command works then autostart should work too as long as it is enabled and any dependencies are met.
When these programs auto start should there be anything visible on the screen? I know OP25 is running at boot because as soon as I start the liq service it starts playing audio and then the broadcast starts. When I manually launch the liq file I see the terminal window open however at boot time without launching anything manually there is no terminal that opens for anything.
I checked to make sure that the service was enabled by typing the command and it just goes blank and then back to the command prompt. Same thing when I do the "sudo systemctl start" command. It just returns to the command prompt without doing anything.

If you put in the

When you run the application "headless" by autostart, you need to configure it to use the "http" terminal type so that you can (later) log on to the terminal to see what is going on.
e.g.
./rx.py -l http:192.168.1.7:8080 -M meta-fire.json --args "rtl=0" ....
Substitute the machine's ip address etc.
I've tried all of the suggestions but I still cannot get the op25-liq.service to start automatically. I can start it manually after re-boot and it works fine and the stream starts. The service is loaded and enabled but it never goes active. The OP25-rx service is working fine...Otherwise I get this when checking the op25.liq systemctl status:

it can't find dynamic module fdkaac encoder. that's an aac encoder. if you have Debian Stretch backports repo in your apt list:
If fdkaac was installed maybe a typo in your scirpt or not installed?
fdkaac dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt build-dep fdkaac
sudo apt-get install fdkaac
If fdkaac was installed maybe a typo in your scirpt or not installed?
fdkaac dependencies:
- dep: libc6 (>= 2.14)GNU C Library: Shared libraries
also a virtual package provided by libc6-udeb - dep: libfdk-aac1 (>= 0.1.4)Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library - runtime files
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt build-dep fdkaac
sudo apt-get install fdkaac

This is not the issue because I get the same exact error whether I run it manually or by service and my audio feed never fails - it works fine without having the AAC codec. His audio is working when he runs it manually but not when he starts it as a service, so if the missing codec were the issue it wouldn't work ever.
@DMBFireman - what are the permissions set to on your .liq file
Code:
ls -lt *.liq- Status
