Hi Sascha Thanks for the below instructions, I successfully made everything and can open the OnAirPhone main screen. I have installed Yate on the same VM as OAP, I run com_server and get 2013-04-24 22:00:03 Yate server error: Connection refused Just a quick ref for anyone else trying to run make you have to first make sure you have pyqt4-dev-tools installed. Back to Yate and the connection being refused, do I have to configure something else to make OAP talk to Yate? Thanks once again for your help on this.

Or does it just use the default sound card settings? blink can work with alas-jack. I created a special virtual sound card in asound.conf and gave it a decent name. So I can route the input and output of blink to any soundcard or jack-mixer port or whatever. Please keep in mind that OnAirPhone doesn't handle audio at all. It's only the message-routing and multi-user glue code to take/hold and place calls. For example: If you click on ANSWER the ringing line gets transferred to the selected SIP-Phone or to the number which is the blink client. In my test setup I use some Cisco 7960 Phones for the screener desks and the blink client for the 'on-air' stuff. I also configured audacity to record the talents mic and the caller in a special talkback mode. So you can record calls of air with blink on seperate channels. It's basically a big switching and re-routing in jack. Then I have a audacity macro which exports the file into a directory. The on air talent just has to press the audacity macro hotkey and it will export. The export dir is observed via python inotify. When a file arrives it is beeing renamed to something recognizable like PhoneCall_2013-04-24_14-35.wav and then imported into rivendell. With nearly no latency. You have the file available in RD in just 1-2 seconds after you start the export macro. I know there might be questions on the how to to such a script... :) I will also post that on the wiki :) Best regards Sascha ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
