Introducing Luci stream cloning

A new feature in the just released Luci Live 1.4 for PC/MAC and Luci Studio 3.1 for PC involves the use of multiple network interfaces for streaming. For instance if you have an active WIFI and 3G connection on your laptop using Luci Live, you can send 2 streams, 1 via WIFI and the other via 3G. So when one fails the other will remain working and the other end will not notice any interruption. The Studio side has to be able to receive these 2 streams and use them accordingly of course. For this we updated Luci Studio also, it will not only receive multiple streams, but also sends multiple streams back via the different routes used.

You don’t necessarily need multiple working network connections though, if both sides support IPV4 AND IPV6, your DNS server is set to return an A and AAAA record, Luci will send 2 streams, one via IPV4 and one via IPV6, you never know if one fails or not .

Sounds all too technical ?

Don’t worry, to use Stream cloning , simply switch the protocol to SC-RTP in the station setting and the rest will be sorted out for you automatically.

For Luci Studio you don’t have to change anything, it will automatically detect cloned streams. Just leave it set to the RTP protocol.

So, in this 1.4 update of Luci Live you’ll find:

New features:

  • Stream cloning
  • small graphic improvements
  • Notification window when call comes in via N/ACIP

Bugs solved:

  • Pressing the about icon when recording or playing messed things up.
  • Sometimes, after releasing a call, leaving the Antenna On and then after picking up a call, there was no return stream.

In the 3.1 update of Luci Studio:

New features:

  • Receive cloned streams

Luci Live for Windows, MAC and Android updated to 1.2

3 Platforms receive an update. Here is what happened, first what’s general across all platforms:

  • You can set a default folder for recorded files. Configure with Options.
  • Choosing a new file for recording now only allows you to type a name, the folder is set with the default recording folder option.
  • With N/ACIP protocol (SIP) you can now be called by the studio. Press the antenna only and Luci will wait for an incoming call. Pick up by pressing the Mic button.
  • With N/ACIP protocol you can now also define if Luci will will use a different encoder then what the caller requests.
  • Improved error-reporting with Shoutcast.

Android specific updates:

  • Many visual improvements for high-resolution displays.
  • Audio files are now recorded and played from user-definable folder, by default sdcard/Luci is used. Configure with Options.
  • record 16-bit files instead of 24-bit, so less storage space is used.
  • When you are called with N/ACIP protocol, notifications and ringtone will appear.
  • tablets with only Wifi can now be used also.
    !! Important, this update will install itself seperately from the last version. It will be called “Luci Live” so, WITH the space. Use your activation-code to activate this new version, you can find this in LuciLive in the about screen. Future version will just replace the old version entirely and keep old settings.

Luci Live for Windows and MAC updated to 1.1.11

Some invisible enhancements have been made for future new editing-features. It’s advised to update to this version in order to be able to better edit audio-files you record now in future versions.

Bug solved:

  • When you had Record on, Connect Off, you pressed Play and then Stop play, Luci would crash.

Luci Live for Windows and MAC updated to 1.1.4

New features:

– some visual enhancements.

– The port N/ACIP uses for SIP can now be set. Just add the :portnr to the server address. So for instance echo@test.com:5070

– You can define a default user to use for N/ACIP. So you can create and load phonebooks without user-information, ie use the same phonebook for many different reporters who each have different user-credentials. Just set the user-name to “Default user” in the phonebook and Luci will use the default user credentials.
