If you know how to use Puppet you can set up the current stable release of Mumble-Ruby-Pluginbot with a puppet module from fculpo.

A great feature of Mumble is the ability to link channels together so that users can hear each other while sitting in different channels.

This can be used for some cool setups, for example for Low Bandwidth channels, see here.

The main problem with linked channels is that when you want to send text messages, they are not forwarded by the server. So you need to send the same message to evey linked channel.

Few months ago I posted here that we use so called „low bandwidth“ channels for our users so they can decide whether they want to listen to audiobots sitting in their channels (see here). This is sometimes needed because when local muting a bot the user still gets the voice stream and this consumes traffic.

If you don’t want to waste traffic, go to the „Low BW“ channel.

The problem was that almost in every channel there were a linked subchannel named „Low BW“.

Whenever a user sends a Video URL to Youtube this modules sends the information in the format „channelname :: videoname“.

It distinguishes between channel messages and private messages and sends its message accordingly to the channel or the private receiver only.

I used some code from Mice so that the plugin doesn’t need a Murmur.ice somewhere on the filesystem anymore. Instead if fetches the file dynamically from Murmur itself. Only if this fails it falls back to the Murmur.ice file.

If you have problems with the encoding version of Ice please change „prxstr“ in line 79 and 86 accordingly.

It seems that some users have sometimes problems connection to my Mumble server since it uses IPv4 and IPv6 and since all of my DNS entries to the server contain AAAA records.

In the last years I have been using Mumble-Django (MD) to configure my Mumble servers and in my opinion it is one of the best admin interfaces available.

But on a box with very little RAM I wanted something very simple so I started using „mice“ on my new server.

Because there are users on our server who sometimes like to play with their limits and stop spamming when the reached 19 of 20 allowed actions I added a new feature into the Antiflood module for Mumble Moderator today.

Heute gab es für die stabile Version von Mumble ein Sicherheitsupdate auf die Version 1.2.13.

Damit wird eine Schwachstelle behoben, die seit Version 1.2.0 nur im Mumble-Server für Windows steckt.

Über ein selbst erstelltes UDP-Paket ist es möglich, den Server dazu zu bringen, dass er keine Pakete mehr über UDP annimmt.

Das hat zur Folge, dass Sprachpakete nicht mehr über UDP angenommen werden und die Clients nach einigen Sekunden automatisch in den TCP-Modus umschalten. Bis zur Umschaltung kann man niemanden hören und wird auch nicht von den anderen gehört.
