To my mind it's worth the $30, especially since it liberates you from the tragic experience of playing audio through HQPlayer itself. And one-man-band awesome Russian companies. Also I'm a geek so I like the diagnostic ability that VAC gives you with its graceless but detailed UI.

I'm using Virtual Audio Cable because I got some popping with VB Audio early on and gave up on it. Any player supporting WASAPI on Windows, such as JRiver Media Center or Foobar2000.Integrating WASAPI Players on Windows with HQPlayer for PCM I'll go over the software required, the configurations and their tradeoffs, and finally a set of batch commands to control HQPlayer using the command-line which makes it really easy to test out filters, shapers, and source URIs. This ensures you don't miss anything as different talkgroups are often talking over each other.HQPlayer has popped up in a few rather specific threads recently, and I've been doing quite a bit of work with it recently so I thought I'd start a dedicated general HQPlayer thread rather than start another specific one.įor starters I'm going to provide a tutorial on how to integrate Jriver Media Center, Foobar2000 or basically any other player that can use a WASAPI interface on Windows with HQPlayer in a fairly seamless fashion for PCM-based streams (you can upsample the fuck out of it in HQPlayer to DSD if you want). (Sort of like a queue of radio traffic) If there is a lot of radio traffic, the delay between the call and you hearing it increases. If both are active, one will stream in it's entirety, followed by the second. The softwar can monitor up to 2 simultaneous voice channels. Talkgroups may be patched together by the dispatcher at any time. Only the Byron tower in London, Ontario is monitored. Talkgroups are streamed by priority above. MTO Maintenance Chatham 4 TG: 38128 (analog) MTO Maintenance London 5 TG: 38176 (analog) OPP Chatham-Kent 6D TG: 8240 (only heard if patched or near Byron tower) OPP Lambton County 6M TG: 8320 (only heard if patched or near Byron tower) OPP Perth County 6N TG: 8384 (only heard if patched or near Byron tower) OPP Elgin County 6P TG: 8256 (only heard if patched or near Byron tower) (example: I will only stream OPP Middlesex County and disable other talkgroups if there is a pursuit happening in Middlesex County.)

If a major event is occuring and I catch it, I will issue a feed alert and change what is normally broadcast to better hear the active incident. System: Bell Fleetnet Ontario Provincial Government Zone 1 Feed Notes London and Area - Ontario Provincial Police and Ministry of Transportation
