I'm trying to set up trunk-recorder for local-only (no streaming uploading).
I want to use the rdio-scanner v6.6.3 interface.

Problems:
1. When I run ./trunk-recorder it shows two lines referencing broadcastify - even though broadcastify isn't in my config.json - why would that happen, please?

2. I'm getting this error. Is it obvious where in my config.json this is being triggered? If so, how do I fix it? (Is it possible it's coming from the rdio-scanner setup?)

Hello,

1. If you're seeing something like this:

[2025-05-04 15:40:53.146928] (info) Broadcastify API Key:
[2025-05-04 15:40:53.146932] (info) Broadcastify Calls System ID: 0
[2025-05-04 15:40:55.385360] (info) Setting up plugin - Name: broadcastify_uploader Library file: libbroadcastify_uploader.so

I assume that's just the built-in, trunk-recorder plugin being mentioned. I don't feed BC, and see the above on startup.

2. Try dropping the quotes shown in:

"hideEncrypted": "false",

And finally -- please feel free to DM if you might be interesting in comparing notes on SEGARRN. I am working to improve coverage over in Chatham/Savannah, but love working with trunk-recorder and rdio-scanner (and private streaming).

Good luck!

Rich

Thanks - that worked!
I needed to fix a couple of other things - now it looks OK, maybe.
I'm not sure how to DM via this forum.
