So first full night tonight and I have just discovered that the Pi3 does not work properly with the Vast Transmitter, as in it will randomly produce just noise WTF.

I am using the FPP Plug in with USB Vast as I have no audio in on the vast. Apparently there is no fix for this that I know of.

Anyone got any suggestions as this has totally destroyed my show.

Does anyone know where I can get another FM Transmitter from with audio in within the Brisbane area as I will need it tomorrow.

Cheers

You could try jerry rigging a car FM transmitter, you know the old school ones that you needed to use before we had Bluetooth or Aux input in the car so you could play audio through your car stereo.

they are 12v so a spare 12v power supply hooked up is all you need and they have limited range which is good, but a well place piece of wire might increase the range some what, and with 3.5mm audio input it might just be enough to get you out of trouble.

Thanks Kitman,

Superman has come to the rescue and has a couple I can try until I can order one in, so will give that a go tomorrow.

Thanks Superman (Steve).

Sorry mate, as a Vixen developer I could never do that. :)

I have two transmitters from Superman so will test them, hopefully they will work.
