FYI,
I've updated the wiki to reflect the current status of OpenMRCP with a link to the new UniMRCP project. Hopefully enough people who want MRCP in FS will support UniMRCP...

mod_openmrcp was a contribution to the community by a 3rd party individual.

As i have clearly stated in 2 previous emails, the man has decided to discontinue the openmrcp project.
So now we are left with the remains of the module and discontinued code.  This was not our decision it was his.

Since the author of openmrcp has stated that he has a new unimrcp we are certainly going to
work towards getting mod_unimrcp to replace mod_openmrcp.  He had already commented on that previous thread to state he is willing to consider making a new module.

Some people use it without issue which may mean that the crash you reported is windows specific and I do not have a working lab of any mrcp capbable system to try it against in unix for that matter.  I have a list of work to do from here to the moon and back so on an issue like this, unless someone can hand me login credentials to some box and give me a phone number to dial to reporduce the issue, it will be a long time until we can deal with it.  And the question arises, should we bother working on it anymore if the lib has been abandoned and we cannot even get any support from it's author which is where the problem most likely lies.

I try not to get too annoyed by these remarks about what we *ought to do* because I know people lose sight of how much of the work to support the project is done by a small group of 3 people and not the 2000 people it appears to be from the outside looking in. (I've been answering email for 4 hours now)

My suggestion is to pool some cash and pay the guy to make mod_unimrcp for FS that we can maintain in tree knowing the development can be supported by the original author.

Hi Mike,

My experience is that it's somewhat broken - it took two trivial tweaks to get it to work with IBM's ASR and TTS, but there's a more intractable problem to do with memory getting overwritten (I assume that this is something to do with something being freed when it shouldn't be) which causes a segfault on the second or third session after the module being loaded.

Without wishing to sound like a stuck record, one thing that you guys really ought to do is to decide what's supported and what isn't, and make this obvious - for example, move unsupported modules to a different place in the tree, don't have them built by default, etc.  MRCP is in the specsheet on the Wiki.  Otherwise folk like Mark and I spend time installing stuff, go round in circles a bit trying to make it work, and then find out (a) that it doesn't and (b) it's not going to be fixed because it's not supported.

I would not say it is totally broken, it is known to work in quite a few places, but we are unlikely to be doing any new fixes in it.

Hi Anthony,

Oh! OK.

So is this module "totally broken".

I say this because I can't seem to get it to work at all with the example in that Mod_openmrcp wiki page but I thought it might because I'm not be using the right Cepstral software (freetrial download versus the paided for SDK) or that I'm not using the right port numbers or something else I didn't do. I used TcpView to look at local port associated with my Cepstral software and changed a few things but still nothing. I changed the loglevel setting to 7 in the wiki's example but I don't see the kind of output on the console that I would expect for debug mode.

Thanks. Mark.
