D-Rats Repeater Errors

[riggs498]

Here are my most recent d-rats repeater errors. I am not able to connect to anything remotely. I can connect to it. But it can not connect. I can fix the ffmpeg error. That is not an issue. It is not saving config. and then I have no idea what to do about the bottom one.

A temporary workaround is to use a text editor to edit the repeater configuration.

What is going on is that the python2 config library automatically converted data types to string. The python3 config library does not. And this was missed during testing.

Okay. I will do that.

John,

No glory on trying that. I have attached my config file and the error. The config file shows correctly in the program. But once you press on. It has a bunch of nah I don't like you. LOL

Line 1071 in d-rats.repeater.py needs to be changed to: self.config.set("settings", "devices", str(devices))`

The opposite of most of the problems previously seen, all data must now be converted to strings before saving.

This will be fixed in a future patch / release of D-Rats.
