Who is using PulseMesh this year in Australia ?

I've used it a bit in my own display testing, but haven't advertised it at all. It works reasonably well. Not perfect, like initial startup/sync takes a while, and there's been a few instances where it just didn't play and I had to close it and restart it (using the web player). But when it works, it seems to work very well with minimal difference to my outdoor speaker.
 
Like @B4IGO ive set it up and been quite useful in testing my display without carrying a small FM radio around.

As for publicly advertising it, I’m not sure it would be better that what I have now. Most people for my display come on foot and listen to the speakers I have, or via car and either roll down the windows or tune in via my FM transmitter. Plus it needs it adds an extra step or needing to scan a code.

I can see it being super useful where neighbours don’t like outdoor speakers etc and each visitor brings they own audio.

very impressive tech and glad someone figured it out. I can see it being very useful in public displays
 
Would this still introduce various delays per person? I noticed last night whilst talking to visitors that I could hear 3x different time delays of my audio from different cars near me

Every streamer would have their own delay, the concept here being similar to multisync on FPP - each app has a copy of the music for and is being told where in the file it'd up to.
That sync packet will take a finite time to reach the user, depending on network latency, in the order of a few tens to hundreds of milliseconds.
It's possible with accurate time synchronisation to have that accounted for, to a certain degree, but whether that's implemented or not it's a different story.
 
I've been using it since about halfway through December and it's proven really rock solid for me. Plus you get some viewer stats, which is always nice.

I'm the same. This is my first year, so wanted to embrace the technology. It is really good & clear once it connects. Definitely will use it next year & will advertise that my display exists. This year was by word of mouth & had quite a few people stop by, some came every night, some stayed for the 2 hour no repeat show!
 
I to had a play with it during set
it up and testing however I did not use it. I even had the QR code display on my P4 matrix however and found that it worked quite well but I decided not to use it as I I was a little bit concerned about how copyright would work with it.
 
I'm going to use it for 2025 Christmas after I upgrade to the latest FPP 8.4 and make sure all my controllers have the latest updates :)
