RPI setup not capturing or creating dir for audio to shortName directory

[jeffbarclay]

Have RPI setup and capturing talk groups but not saving or creating the directory (shortName) - I do see wav files temporally created in a linix temp folder

captureDir is set but never gets created or populated?

I would try hardcoding the full path to the captureDir first to make sure that's not the problem, and then verify permissions are correct on the directories.

[jeffbarclay]

hard path doesn't change anything and ownership ... its not creating the directory within trunk-build dir, even if I create it myself it doesn't write the wav files to it?

Adding shortName folder and chmod 777 shortName fixed the error listed but no audio is written to dir

[taclane]

6 airspy recorders at 10 MHz may also be a little intense for a raspi. Those OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's leaking through at the end of the logs are indicating that it is receiving data faster than it can process it.

Lower the sample rate if you can, but as long as you keep seeing that in logs, it's likely to cause issues down the line.

[jeffbarclay]

after reducing recorders to 3 and sample rate to 2.5M its much cleaner but still no audio wav files in 'montgomery' folder

If you want and are still experiencing the issue, I could possibly look into it
