Yes

To be more precise: we are evaluating. Mumble Development seems to be stuck as well.

Sounds great 👍

I'm currently trying to push the Mumble plugin support forward - see mumble-voip/mumble#3742
So if you want to have certain features in there, make sure to leave a comment in the linked issue.

For this I am looking into writing the plugin system (partly) myself. I'll do it in a WIP fashion so I will create PRs at very early stages so that interested people (maybe some of you guys) can start criticizing my code early on. (e.g. mumble-voip/mumble#3743)

@Krzmbrzl We are following and will post our requirements soon (@NouberNou).

Thank you for your efforts!

@jonpas @NouberNou I stumbled upon this ticket by chance, and wanted to give you a short notice that i already developed a plugin for a similar system for flight simulators: hbeni/fgcom-mumble.
Maybe you can take some pieces from there, but a radio system is entirely doable using the new API.

@hbeni the ACRE Devs are already working on an Implementation actively: #980

Ah, cool to hear! Thanks!

Yeah. We started development in early April. It is definitely nice to see it also being adopted in flight sims. Flight gear has a neat implementation of Longley-Rice!

The referenced pull request (mumble-voip/mumble#3743) has now been merged.
This means that plugin support is now available in all future Mumble feature releases (1.4.0 onwards) - including snapshot releases.

@PabstMirror @mharis001 I have been told on Slack that you guys are now the main devs that (are supposed to) continue work on ACRE2.
As such I wanted to ask what your plans in terms of the Mumble plugin are and if there is something I can help to get it up-to-date.

Given that this has been working before (with an in-progress version of the Mumble API), I am kinda expecting that the main work that has to be done on it is to adapt the used API.
I could probably do that for you, but I would like to get help on the actual ACRE stuff if there is something that goes beyond the mere Mumble API. Do you think that would be possible? Or do you currently have too much other stuff going on? 👀

@jonpas Do you perhaps have an insight into what the current plans are regarding the Mumble plugin?
(Pinging you as I think you might have a clue :D)

I can tell you that none of the Managers have time to do this, we are super busy with other things at the moment.

@PabstMirror or @mharis001 might pick it up, it is entirely up to them, I am not sure if any of them decided to just yet. Any contributor is also welcome to pick it up and update it for the latest API of course!

Hopefully that answers your question.

Alright. Then I'll try to find some time to update the plugin to the latest API specs and create a PR for that. This will only work on the core Mumble API level though as I don't have a clue of ACRE internals xD

I assume the PR should be created against the mumble-plugin branch?

Yeah, PR to that branch would be perfect.

See #1108 (WIP)

Interesting.

Does Mumble operate as what? An application service analogous to TeamSpeak?

Working on an Always Up alternative to help with the (self-)hosting side of things.

Not sure what you are asking but Mumble is essentially the same kind of application as TeamSpeak (aka: a voice communication software).

Yes, I understand that, with some mixed reviews re: sound quality, administrative proficiency, etc.

How feature API stable is it today? Given the PR was some 3+ years ago now. My assumption is, probably quite stable.

How good is it at self-hosting?

With TS, for instance, I have learned Always Up is a popular, but trial freemium, solution, allowing it to operate as an application service.

Anyway, I am working on an open source AU alternative.

@mwpowellhtx
The mumble server is easy to install in linux and can start with the system boot, so that is probably a far better/easier solution to fiddling around with some windows beef things.

My experience hosting a mumble server on debian linux is good for the last three years.

Well... although I have WSL2, I'm not sure I want to install it there. So Windows Service Application is the alternative method.

This is OT for this issue here so this will be my last answer regarding this topic. If you want to continue the discussion, I encourage you to join the Mumble Matrix channel.

Completely stable

How good is it at self-hosting?

That's like the primary use case, so I would say excellent.

With TS, for instance, I have learned Always Up is a popular, but trial freemium, solution, allowing it to operate as an application service.

No idea what Always Up is. Mumble itself is not a Windows service and I have no clue on how these work and whether or not Mumble can be made to be one.

Appreciate the feedback. Cheers 🍻
