DroidStar is an application that allows you to use the digital mode D-Star from a computer. It connects to a reflector server and sends and receives audio encoded in AMBE. It also displays information about the users and modules connected to the reflector.

A vocoder plugin can be downloaded from a URL, which will place the vocoder into the correct location for the platform. Add a full http url, including the filename, to the Vocoder URL option on the settings tab, and click the Download vocoder button.

For Android and iOS devices, the vocoder URL download method is the only way to load a vocoder plugin. For Linux/MacOS/Windows, a vocoder can also be manually placed.

Copy the plugin to the system settings file location. On Linux, this is ~/.var/app/io.github.nostar.DroidStar/config/dudetronics - it is the same place where the host and id files are located (DMRHosts.txt, DMRIDs.data, etc).

The vocoder plugin filename must be named vocoder_plugin.platform.arch where platform and arch can be any of the following. platform: linux, darwin, winnt, android, ios; arch: x86_64, arm, arm64. The platform and arch for your device are identified on the About tab.
