Hi all, I believe I fixed my issue. Here's my solution in case anyone else has this problem.

On my Pi3, I run a script called radiosave. What it does is records the scanner input and splits it up into mp3 files on the hour. It uses pulse audio to function. (in case you want to try it, you can get the script for free here: https://sites.google.com/site/glyman3home/radiosave

Anyhow, the problem was (I think) that I had cron jobs set for everything (TTD & darkice running in separate bash screen sessions, radiosave set to fire without screen in the background)

What happened was radiosave was firing first and hijacking pulse audio. so all I did was change the crontab line from:

# Added radio save config
@reboot [ -x /home/pi/radiosave.sh ] && /home/pi/radiosave.sh start > /dev/null
00 * * * * [ -x /home/pi/radiosave.sh ] && /home/pi/radiosave.sh cron > /dev/null
Click to expand...

to

# Added radio save config
@reboot /bin/sleep 120 ; [ -x /home/pi/radiosave.sh ] && /home/pi/radiosave.sh start > /dev/null
00 * * * * [ -x /home/pi/radiosave.sh ] && /home/pi/radiosave.sh cron > /dev/null
Click to expand...

after reboot, that seemed to help. Adding a sleep for 120 seconds to radio save allowed TTD to fire first grabbing PA.

Anyhow, hope that helps someone who has similar issues. PA is finicky.

PS: If anyone is thinking about running radiosave, I would highly recommend you look at running a external hard drive and either saving the mp3's and tmp files to the external or running your entire OS directly from the hard drive as the read/write cycles that are created from recording audio can burn your SD card up quite quickly.

Have a great week.

Hello All, anyone try TTD on the new Raspian 'Stretch'?
I thought I read the audio support has changed (pulse audio not installed by default) which makes me wonder if TTD will still work 'out of the box'??

DavidVT: I saw the same note about PA not being included with Stretch. However, other notes indicated that it could still be installed manually. I think that you are right TTD/Stretch won't work "out of the box" on the pi. I will try it sometime but it may be at least a couple weeks.

Hello all,

Is there a working Pi3 B image out there yet. I surfed through the thread here and didn't see one. The image works great on my Pi2 B with the same hardware. All kinds of issues on the Pi3.

Thanks.

It runs on a pi3 but takes several tweaks to get it there and to keep it running. Mostly related to pulseaudio. If you want to give it a go, here are some steps from memory to get you started:

1. Image an SD card with the full version of Raspbian Stretch

2. Do a sudo update and reboot.

3. Install pulse audio. You can do thus using Add Programs under Preferences/Pi configuration or at comand line sudo apt install pulseaudio

4. Install pulse audio volume control. Again, either Preferences or command line sudo apt install
pavucontrol.

5. Make a TTD directory

6. Populate the TTD directory with the TTD version and files of your choice from the .zip download from the TwoToneDetect website. Use the linux version of TTD, NOT the one identified specifically for the pi. You will also need tones.cfg, config.cfg, and TTD.cfg.

7. Create a blank file simply named ffmpeg in the TTD directory.

8. Reboot again

9. Try starting pavucontrol, from command line it is pavucontrol, or in the dropdown under the pi icon under Sound.

10. If you get an error message, close it out, go to the command line and type pulseaudio -D

11. Then try starting pavucontrol again. Hopefully, you won’t get the error message.

12. Once you get pavucontrol running, then open a terminal window, cd to your TTD directory, then start TTD by typing python TwoToneDetect69.pyc or whatever your linux program file is called

13. Cross your fingers...

Let me know how it goes, if anyone tries it. There are several more steps to get it to auto start etc. but those won’t help if you can’t make it run from the command line

Trying to get TTD running on RPi 3B...

Hey all...

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to get TTD running on a RPi 3B.

I tried the pre-configured image route first. The Pi wouldn't even boot with that image. It just hung on the rainbow square screen.

I decided to start from scratch following the instructions at twotonedetect.net.

Everything went fine as per the instructions. The only real difference being that, when I run LevelMeter.pyc, there is no input/output named "pulse".

Code: 
AUDIO DEVICE LISTING:
Output Device 0: bcm2835 ALSA: - (hw:0,0)
Output Device 1: bcm2835 ALSA: IEC958/HDMI (hw:0,1)
Input Device 2: USB PnP Sound Device: Audio (hw:1,0)
Output Device 2: USB PnP Sound Device: Audio (hw:1,0)
Output Device 3: sysdefault
Output Device 4: dmix
Input Device 5: default
Output Device 5: default

It appears #5 "default" appears to be the correct one.

Choosing that, I was able to verify that LevelMeter.py is getting audio from the USB device, as the data stream updates as expected in response to audio input.

The problem occurs when I try to launch TwoToneDetect68Pi.pyc.

Code:

So, I'm assuming that's the indication of where the magic smoke is being let out.

Anyone have any thoughts on where to go from here?

Hey all...
Everything went fine as per the instructions. The only real difference being that, when I run LevelMeter.pyc, there is no input/output named "pulse".

This is the root cause of your issues. The "Pi" version of TTD has been hard-coded to look for the "pulse" audio source. With Raspbian Stretch, that no longer works. I'm hoping to address this issue with the v70 TTD release, but don't quite have the Pi stuff 100% robust in the beta version I'm currently testing.

As DC31 previously suggested, you can run the "non-Pi" version on Rasbpian Stretch via the GUI...that will let you select the audio source you want TTD to use until I get the command line version working with the changes to the Stretch OS.

RPi3

Here us what TTD running on a pi3 looks like (gui version). This happens to be the beta of v70 that Andy is testing.

Hey guys. Thanks for the quick response.

So, yes. The GUI version came right up and started reading an audio stream. Here's where I'm at thus far.

It appears the audio threshold has to be set manually each time TTD is launched. Is this just a limitation of running the non-Pi version?

It successfully detected a test tone set and sent an email. However, it appears to not be finding ffmpeg. Is this also a known issue with the non-Pi version?

Code: 
WAV Group Email sent to xxxxx@xxxxxxx.net via mail.xxxxxxx.net on port 587 using STARTTLS Test tone 1 page received at 20:48:29 on 11/09/17 20:50:55 on 11/09/17
ffmpeg not found, AMR email not sent!

Thanks again for the assistance. I was asked to help in setting up TTD on a RPi by a member of the local fire department. As I understand it, he's been running TTD on an old laptop for several years now, but is concerned that it is on it's last leg. I offered my services, as I am very familiar with Linux and have recently started getting into RPi and Arduino development.

So I managed to finally get it running on a Pi 3B. Instead of using stretch I went back and used an older version of Jessie. Followed the instructions on the TTD Pi page, then copied the startup scripts and cron info from the TTD Pi Image with a few directory changes and it's alive! Also was able to get DarkIce configured to run with it.

Another question though. Does the Pi version support left/right mono channels? Was hoping to be able to run 2 instances one for left and one for right channel.

Thanks

Yes, it does. In the config.cfg file, you can set it using the audio_channel = parameter. Acceptable entries are mono, left, or right

Success!

I had to remove the ffmpeg package that I installed per the Raspberry Pi install instructions and install ffmpeg through the distro package manager. But it does work now.

So, is there any time frame on an updated RPi version?

Also, is there a recommended method for automatically restarting the GUI version if/when it crashes? Are program crashes that common now? I had read in previous threads that older versions were crashing once or twice a week?

Thanks again the assistance.

Glad to hear that you had success! My GUI version has been stable with a daily reboot of the pi. I did experience the program locking up once or twice without the daily reboot. My pi3 runs two instances of TTD and two instances of Darkice streaming to Broadcastify.

I'm actually looking for a RPi3 image with the Gui that was mentioned above. I will try installing the Jessie version and see where I get.

No, there is no preconfigured pi3 image out there that I know of. Have you tried the 13 steps outlined in my previous post of Nov. 7?

I've got your Ubuntu image running with TTD but still no luck on getting the PiPeater running.
