I agree. I am not the one...

I gave up on LineageOS. Never got the VOX to be stable. I sprung ($) for Emteria OS and so far that has performed solidly.

Set upped rpi3 with lineageOS, i also experience the vox failing after a while.

Did you experience the same thing with EmteriaOS?

Yes, I did. I am beta testing a completely new program on Raspbian Buster now that seems to work much better. Stand by...

Thnak you sir. Let us know

How did you make Zello run on Raspbian Buster? Maybe I can help in testing also.

I've been running my Zello implementation on Buster vor over a month now, just saying

Wow. Can you share how did you do it? Thanks so much

I've created a Linux binary (both x86 and arm) implementing the Zello protocol meant as the back-end of a SailfishOS app (NRad | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System).
But you can also run it without its front-end UI on any Raspbian, Ubuntu etc. as long as you install libopusfile + pulseaudio to satisfy the dependencies. Just PM me if you would like to test it.

Here's a Python script that'll stream to Zello from a Pi.

I've adapted the example token generator from the official Zello repository (https://github.com/zelloptt/zello-channel-api/tree/master/auth/go) to return a JSON, other than this it worked basically out of the box for me.

Thanks for writing this. What is the secret to satisfying the opuslib requirement?
I installed it by doing "pip3 install opuslib" but when I run the python script it still reports" ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'opuslib "

 

[DC31]

I have seen that error also. I don’t remember now if I solved it or what I might have done. You could try sudo apt install opus-tools

Well I gave that a try, but still get the module not found error. So I am at a loss.

What model pi and what OS are you Running?

 

[kb9mwr]

I am running a Raspberry Pi 3b, and used the 2020-05-27-raspios-buster-lite-armhf image, and brought everything up to date before I started.

 

[DC31]

Thanks. Exactly the same setup that I have attempted unsuccessfully. That must be where I have run into the opuslib issue. The Zello feeds that I am running quite successfully are both on pi4’s running the full gui Buster OS.

Good to know, thanks for passing that along.

Well using the 2020-05-27-raspios-buster-full-armhf image does get me past the whole opus problem, but now I can't get past this:

ImportError: cannot import name 'pkcs1_15' from 'Crypto.Signature' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Crypto/Signature/__init__.py)

And I thought this was going to be the cure: sudo pip3 install pycrypto, but same head banging.

From my notes:
pip3 install pycryptodome
(if this doesn't work, try this:
pip3 uninstall crypto pip3 uninstall pycryptodome pip3 install pycryptodome
