[arm-allstar] Issues with Broadcastify streaming audio off of my node...

Thanks Doug, I appreciate the prompt response!

After beating my head into the keyboard for a while and going over everything with a FINE tooth comb...
I found an extra / in my .xml file that was hiding in plain sight after an edit I did after fiddling with it..  Fixed it and saved it.

And whadda ya know...  It started working!  As if by magic...  :)

The only thing I found missing in your original "how-to" was I had to install pkg-config on my RasPi's.

But I got it working!
I had it installed on a RasPi node with a bunch of hubs and one radio - it made the radio choppy...  So I put it on a RasPi node all by itself hung off of one of the central nodes on our little repeater network - no more chop...  Now it works great!  Now the traffic from the entire repeater network is funneled to my Broadcastify feed.

Thanks!  Now I can retire that old Windoze box that was running scannercast hooked to an old radio shack scanner!

I am on my way out but here is a quick message on this... The line in
rpt.conf should look like this:

outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8
--bitwidth 16 - - 2> /tmp/stream.status | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -qvc
/etc/ezstream.xml

​Cut and paste it to make sure you have it right. It must go in the node
stanza for the node you want to broadcast.

Also run ezstream manually at the Linux prompt to make sure it is working
and the config file has no errors -

​ezstream -qvc /etc/ezstream.xml
