Uploading to OpenMHz

Luke Berndt edited this page Oct 7, 2021 · 12 revisions

I have created a portal called OpenMHz that makes it easy to get recordings from Trunk Recorder online. You can create an account here: https://admin.openmhz.com

Once you create an account, you can then add a System on OpenMHz and configure it. A couple of values will be generated; shortName, apiKey, uploadServer, that you need to add to the config.json file. If everything is correctly configured, calls should start to show up on OpenMHz. It may take up to 15 minutes before the system is listed on OpenMHz, after calls start getting uploaded. You can directly navigate to the System though: https://openmhz.com/system/<your-system's-shortName>

In order to upload files, they have to be encoded as a High-Efficiency AAC. This is a compact audio format that most browsers and phones support. The fdkaac package that was added during as one of the install requirements handles the conversion from .wav files to .m4a files.
