Hello,

I am trying to get my feed up & running on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.

I logged into my account from bcfy-shell and started the service. But when I check the status, it shows as "activating".

When I checked the error log, it shows as below. I tried flashing the image to SD card 3 times and no luck. Please help.

Try simply starting darkice from the command line and see what error it returns:

darkice -c /home/pi/bcfy/configs/darkice/darkice_1.cfg

The stream actually starts when I run darkice from the terminal. However, I can hear nothing but silence.

When I commented out the paSourceName line, it shows as below.

I have had nothing but issue with the Broadcastify Pi Image and audio inputs. My suggestion is to use a regular Pi image, and configure darkice from there. I can help if you would like.

Sdr trunk. Easiest by far


that is, if it is a digital system.

if analog, try rtlsdr_airband. Streaming to bcfy is incorporated into the program

I would be interested in some help. I have struggled mightily trying to get a pi running on Broadcastify. Had it going good for a a few weeks now the audio has went to heck.
