Hi Thank you for the great wiki! I followed your wiki and have the easydab working. I see all the info from the RaspDab.mux file on my Dab Radio but i do not have audio. The ODR-Audioenc is running and i see the VU meters moving. It gives an error: Libmad error: bad main_data_begin pointer but it shows the moving VU meters

Please see the terminal schreens below. Do you have any idea what i am doing wrong?

Kind Regards, Peter Nicolai (NL)

Hi Peter !

A lot seems to be OK, but I noticed that you encode in AAC (DAB+) but have the service defined as type: audio. That is the old MPEG2 DAB mode. Please use dabplus. I think that should solve it, please try ! Otherwise, please provide the command line with which you invoke the audio encoder and the multiplex configuration file. I should have mentioned in the RaspDAB description that you need to read the examples very carefully ;o) But I just added some additional information in the multiplex file description that might be of help to set the right ID coded values - please check this out. If you find an error in the Wiki, please inform me. And if you're from the Netherlands, please visit www.DABLokaal.nl/forum .

Succes ! Gerard

Hi Gerard, I have the service in my raspdab.mux difined as dabplus, but the ODR-dabmux shows: type audio. For a test i changed the type in raspdab.mux to audio, but then i get errors about the bitrate not being 192 kbps. So ODR-dabmux is reading it as dabplus i think... ???

for info my raspdab.mux in the attachment

kind regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

Sorry, I don't see the raspdab.mux file as attachment. I'm pretty new to Github, perhaps I fail to see where it is located. Can you please send it to info@dablokaal.nl, then I will get it.

It must be something small and obvious that we overlook, as you already have the audioencoder working and the dabmux starts as well. It seems dabmux doesn't get the output of the audioencoder.

Kind regards,

Gerard

Hello Gerard, Around midnight i found the problem... I was using manual tuning on my receiver. It showed the station info but did not play the station... A fresh scan on the receiver was required to actual play the station... A little stupid of me not trying this before, but now it works.

I noticed that sometimes the RF signal drops a bit and the audio is then gone for a second or so. Did you also noticed this? The fact that the RF signal drops tells me that this is more a hardware issue.. i will let you know..

I will sign up on dablokaal.

Hi Peter,

OK, glad you found it... With Manual Tune in most cases you need to confirm the search has ended by pressing 'select' or 'menu' or something similar, after which you can browse through the stations in the mux. I guess it didn't help you copied my example, which has Brainport for the station as well as the multiplex ID...

If the RF drops check whether or not the LED on the EasyDAB that shows it is locked / or the 1 pulse per second changes as well. Otherwise it might just be something in the recever, try another receiver as well if you can. And check the signal strength meter and/or error level on the receiver. It might also be a clock drift, although you did include the -D in the audioenc command line. Be sure to always have an antenna or dummy load connected to the EasyDAB, and don't put the amplitude over 100% to keep a clean signal.

I remember at the start I had this issue as well, but I don't really remember how I solved it. Perhaps it is in the settings for the connection on the EasyDAB. I use:

Connection mode: TCP-Client

Enable ZeroMQ Client Handshake - checked

No Deleyed TCP ACK - checked

If you have a version with extra buffers, enable these.

Hope this helps,

Gerard

I am still trying to figure it out... I will post the info once i found the cause of these dropouts...
