Playback & Sharing

By default, Trunk Recorder records and dumps recorded audio files into a directory of your choosing (along with a JSON file if configured to do so). Here are a couple of options to make it easier to browse through recordings (and share them on the Internet).

• Uploading-to-OpenMHz
• Streaming online to Broadcastify with Liquid Soap
• Broadcastify Calls (API)-Wiki
• Trunk Player - A great Python-based server. Requires knowledge of Python and nginx.
• Jason McHuff's (@rosecitytransit) audioplayer.php Web page
  • See v2 and a "live" version at rosecitytransit/trunk-recorder:kcmscanner
• Rdio Scanner, provides a good looking, scanner style interface for listening to Trunk-Recorder.
