Anyone any experience of installing OpenOB on RPi?

I'm jumping on the ¨trying to do this too¨ bandwagon.

I would be happy to get OpenOB working with the simple USB audio adapters ($50) or the Behringer UCA202.

I have the Cirrus, but have given up for now.

Tried installing on RPI3 from instructions on OpenOB´s homepage - but it became a chaotic hunt for dependencies.

I´ve been installing OpenOB using this guide and thus far have had no dependency problems.

Will report back as I learn more.

Progress has been made...kinda. I have OpenOB installed on 2 RPI3-s.

10.0.0.114 is the transmitter and config server.

10.0.0.110 is the receiver.

I can start the receiver with ¨openob 10.0.0.114 test-rex-node test-link rx¨ and eventually get ¨Waiting for transmitter capabilites...¨

but when I fire up the transmitter with the line below, this is what I get.

openob 10.0.0.114 test-tx-node test-link tx 10.0.0.110

(python:1117): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: range start is not smaller than end for `GstIntRange'

Additionally if I don´t have the jack server running, I just get errors.

If I don´t start Jack I get the following

Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory

jack server is not running or cannot be started

AL lib: (WW) alc_initconfig: Failed to initialize backend "pulse"

AL lib: (EE) alsa_open_capture: Could not open capture device 'default': No such file or directory

might this offer a clue?

You may want to check on https://github.com/TheImagingSource/tiscamera/issues/21 They have the same error and have open this issue...

This problem seems to go away if I have jack running.

Unfortunately, I was under the impression that Jack was not necessary to run OpenOB.

Previous versions of OpenOB, as shown on this page (Broadcast-quality OBs with Raspberry Pis – Talk Unafraid ) indicate that you can specify hardware rather than rely on an audio server.
