Trunking Recorder Version History
3.5
Released - 2/23/24
-Added ability to search for calls on the web interface using a date and time range.
-Added support for uploading calls to Rdio Scanner.
-Added support for storing Call Transcriptions (created by Azure Speech-to-text) into the database and displaying them on the web interface. You are able to choose which talkgroups will be sent to Azure and transcribed automatically. Any call which generates a Call Notification email will continue to be transcribed automatically as was done before.
-Added support for Azure custom endpoints when transcribing calls, these are used if you have created a custom speech model.
-Added support for Azure Speech Recognition Language, this is helpful if the calls are in a language other than English (United States).
-Added support to detect duplicate call uploads from multiple call upload machines.
-Enhanced Call Audio export on web interface to export all calls from current search range instead of just the current page of calls (Up to the search limit which defaults around 60,000 calls).
-Added a setting to display Date and Time on the "Now Playing" call information section on the Trunking Recorder web interface (Order of data cannot be changed, format will use local browser locale default).
-Updated SQLite database search queries to help speedup searches when database contains a large number of calls (10-20 million).
-Updated the row selection logic on the web interface. When you deselect a row, it will stop call audio playback. If you then select the row again it will play the call starting at the beginning.
-Added support for Fully Qualified Radio IDs and Labels for SDRTrunk systems interconnected via ISSI.
-Added option to upload "All Calls for all Systems" to Call Uploads.
-Added support for changes SDRTrunk made in recent beta releases with Patch calls that caused incorrect displaying of the Talkgroups contained in the call.
-Fixed issue where some SDRTrunk calls would fail to get imported due to spaces in their filenames.
-Fixed issue where Call Transcribe process was occasionally deleting WAV files before call was transcribed causing failure.
-Added Public URL validation to make sure the URL starts with "http" or "https".
-Added additional logging to Call Audio export process.
-Fixed All dates button on mobile devices so it will show below the date search box instead of having to scroll the screen to the right.

-Fixed handling ProScan calls with "unknown" talkgroup labels (“TGID:xxxx”), Trunking Recorder will import the label as blank and the calls will show up when using the "Unknown" talkgroups search option.
-Updated Call Upload logic for all the methods (Broadcastify, Trunking Recorder, Rdio) where calls that fail to upload due to a network timeout (destination server is offline or the internet is out) will now automatically retry to upload the call up to 10 times before moving on (The amount of time between each retry will get longer), in previous versions it would only try one before moving on.
-Call Uploads for the Trunking Recorder method will now keep retrying to upload until it finally succeeds, this ensure your Trunking Recorder Server will get all calls once the upload issues is resolved and no calls will be skipped.
-Added support for Call Upload API to use external call audio server URL (This is useful if you already have external calls stored on a web server and would also like to have them stored in Trunking Recorder but use the external URL).
-Added support for Call Upload API to provide the Call Transcribe Text. (Updated API documentation is at https://www.scannerbox.us/TrunkingRecorder/Trunking%20Recorder%20Call%20Upload%20API.pdf)

-Fixed Call Audio export failure if too many Talkgroups were selected causing the filename to become too long.
-If ProScan doesn't provide a SiteID the System Name will be used for Trunked calls and the Frequency will be used for Conventional calls.
-Added option to upload all calls from a Site to a Trunking Recorder remote server. (Note: This will not work for Broadcastify Calls since it requires a specific Site).
-Enhanced web interface reconnect logic to help reduce the frequency of login prompts to make it easier to close the tab on mobile devices.
