G'day all,
Is case you have not heard there is a virus thing going around :-)
We are home basing all our radio presenters where possible.
We have been using openob for obs for some time but only one at a time.
We are now in the situation of having multiple openob trx's at the same
time (only because they are not switched off) and this, I believe, is
causing issues.
You could perhaps trx's with a firewall rule unless it is their turn. Not sure if they would like it, but you could experiemnt.
questions:
1. I presume multiple tx's to 1 rx does not work.
No idea.
2. I should be able to to run multiple openobs on different ports using
jack and it will merge everything together? Hopefully.
Off the top of my head, I don't see why not. Worth a try.
So so long as only one rx is sending audio we will only hear one feed.
rx or tx? but not necessarily... (depends on how picky you get with "audio") is an open mic in a silent room sending audio or not sending audio?
Ideally I would use an audio switch to switch between the various feeds
but we have no real way of setting this up now.
Well... You could write bash scripts to make and break jack connections...
We use Rivendell for automation and I could also see doing it with sound panel buttons that trigger macro carts that run bash scripts that make abd break jack connections...
We do have this but only one OB input currently. :-(
