Using ka9q-web for other radios

[waterwin]

As ka9q radio itself supports a variety of radios.
What would be needed in ka9q-web to support the FobosSDR ?
What part of the current code is RX888 specific and what would I need to change to accommodate my Fobos SDR generating a fobos-pcm.local stream.

Thanks, Erwin

Erwin,
ka9q-web is not really interfacing directly with the SDR; all the work of setting the SDR hardware, retrieving samples, processing them, etc happens inside the radiod daemon, which is part of ka9q-radio.
ka9q-web is mainly a GUI and a waterfall display in front of ka9q-radio (radiod to be exact).

You may want to check Scott Newell's fork of ka9q-web (https://github.com/scottnewell/ka9q-web), which has several bug fixes and improvements over this code.
Scott is actively working on enhancing ka9q-web.

thanks Franco. I created a fobos-web.conf etc which nicely starts, but when running the newly Scott Newell build ka9q-web it reports a missing stream with the name       CGroup: ***@***.***             ├─8814 /usr/local/sbin/radiod -N fobos-web ***@***.***             ├─8826 avahi-publish-service --no-fail --host=web-pcm.local "Fobos GUI" _rtp._udp 5004 TTL=0 pid=8814 source=ubu-2024             ├─8827 avahi-publish-address web-pcm.local 239.221.58.205             ├─8828 avahi-publish-service --no-fail --host=web.local "Fobos GUI" _ka9q-ctl._udp 5006 TTL=0 pid=8814 source=ubu-2024             └─8829 avahi-publish-address web.local 239.255.59.70 $ ka9q-webka9q-web version: v2.63resolve_mcast getaddrinfo(host=hf.local, port=(null)): Name or service not known. Retrying. Interestingly, also in the generic RX888 conf this hf.local is not existing, so how could that work when nothing else is started like a wsprdaemon conf doing RX888 wspr and creating a hf.local stream? What am I missing ?

Erwin,
I would ask your questions about missing ka9q-radio streams to the ka9q-radio group on Google groups: https://groups.google.com/g/ka9q-radio

I know Phil Karn, Scott, and many other users of ka9q-radio and ka9q-web are in that group, and I am sure they are way more knowledgeable than me on the right way of interfacing ka9q-radio with ka9q-web.
