Ratings and Reviews
Local Physical LAN only
On my MacOS version of the app it will not show VPN or virtual-LAN IPs when those are connected, only shows local physical IP. I use VPN or ZeroTier (V-LAN) to reach my home network and often just use VBAN from main system there to the Windows or Mac laptop I use remotely. ON Windows the VBAN menu will list both the local IP and the VPN or V-LAN IPs of the desktop/laptop and when configured to route audio though those non-local IPs it works. Using this on my Mac, receptor can see that I'm running Potato on Windows and the Windows client can see I'm running Receptor on the Mac, but the audio will not route, even those all the settings (to/from IPs and matching Stream Names) are correct. I think Receptor needs to see all IPs, not just the local physical IP, to correct this.
Great app, but needs love
The app functions great, when it's not crashed :)
Love the app, gets the job done and allows me to use a microphone from a different computer on my Mac. Love it.
However, the app crashes very frequently. And the app doesn't let you minimize it, so you're forced to hide it with cmd h. Which gives you the great experience of not knowing the app has crashed when you start talking on a Zoom call and everyone tells you they can't hear you and you have to "restart your microphone".
So. Ideally the app wouldn't crash, and you'd be able to at least minimize it.
However, I'd much rather see it as one of those menu-bar-type apps so it gets out of your way and is just always running in the background.
ALSO it would be fantastic if it could start at login.
Good but needs more features
Good execution and usefulf for pushing audio from Windows PC, but needs more features like sending audio as well, also needs features to auto start on boot up. Would love to see more development, did have a crash when I started using it but seems to work well.
