The gRPC implementation never left the experimental state and never reached a properly stable state to the point where we would feel good about enabling it by default. In addition to that, there has been no further attempts at finding and fixing the encountered issues in the implementation (except #3947 but that was discontinued). As such we had an essentially unmaintained piece of code in our server implementation that was known to be buggy and that nobody wanted to fix. In addition to that the implementation itself could not be considered very clean or elegant and therefore only represented a few smelly corners in our code base. For this reason, we decided to remove the gRPC support entirely from Mumble (for now). What we hope to gain by that is: - Prevent people from building unstable server versions and then coming to us complaining that it crashed/misbehaved - Removing (essentially) dead code - Reduce the RPC implementation complexity That last piece is crucial: By removing gRPC support we reduce the amount of supported RPC frameworks to only one (ignoring DBus for now). Our future plans include a refactoring of how RPC is being handled and implemented and only having to worry about maintaining compatibility with one RPC system is much easier than having to worry about two (with (slightly) different APIs). Once the RPC implementation has been rewritten, more RPC backends may be reintroduced and in that process we might investigate adding a proper gRPC implementation to the code (that then hopefully is more stable than the current one). Fixes #4567 Fixes #4197 Fixes #3496 Fixes #3429 Fixes #3265 |

Mumble - Open Source voice-chat software
Mumble is an Open Source, low-latency and high-quality voice-chat program written on top of Qt and Opus.
There are two modules in Mumble; the client (mumble) and the server (murmur). The client works on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and macOS, while the server should work on anything Qt can be installed on.
Please note that with "Windows" we mean 7 and newer. Vista may be supported, but we can't guarantee it. If you don't want to encounter potential issues, you may download Mumble 1.3.x, the last version to provide support for XP.
The documentation of the project can be found on the wiki. The FAQ can also be found there.
Contributing
We always welcome contributions to the project. If you have code that you would like to contribute, please go ahead and create a PR. While doing so, please try to make sure that you follow our commit guidelines.
If you are new to the Mumble project, you may want to check out the general introduction to the Mumble source code.
Translating
Mumble supports various languages. We are always looking for qualified people to contribute translations.
We are using Weblate as a translation platform. Register on Weblate, and join our translation project.
Writing plugins
Mumble supports general-purpose plugins that can provide functionality that is not implemented in the main Mumble application. You can find more information on how this works and on how these have to be created in the plugin documentation.
Building
For information on how to build Mumble, checkout the dedicated documentation.
Reporting issues
If you want to report a bug or create a feature-request, you can open a new issue (after you have checked that there is none already) on GitHub.
Windows
Running Mumble
After installation, you should have a new Mumble folder in your Start Menu, from which you can start Mumble.
Running Murmur
Doubleclick the Murmur icon to start murmur. There will be a small icon on your taskbar from which you can view the log.
To set the superuser password, run murmur with the parameters -supw <password>.
MacOS
Running Mumble
To install Mumble, drag the application from the downloaded
disk image into your /Applications folder.
Running Murmur
Murmur is distributed separately from the Mumble client on MacOS. It is called Static OS X Server and can be downloaded from the main webpage.
Once downloaded it can be run in the same way as on any other Unix-like system. For more information please see the "Running Murmur" in the Linux/Unix section below.
Linux/Unix
Running Mumble
If you have installed Mumble through your distributon's package repository, you should be able to find Mumble in your start menu. No additional steps necessary.
Running Murmur
Murmur should be run from the command line, so start a shell (command prompt) and go to wherever you installed Mumble. Run murmur as
murmurd [-supw <password>] [-ini <inifile>] [-fg] [v]
-supw Set a new password for the user SuperUser, which is hardcoded to
bypass ACLs. Keep this password safe. Until you set a password,
the SuperUser is disabled. If you use this option, murmur will
set the password in the database and then exit.
-ini Use an inifile other than murmur.ini, use this to run several instances
of murmur from the same directory. Make sure each instance is using
a separate database.
-fg Run in the foreground, logging to standard output.
-v More verbose logging.
Build and run from Docker
On recent Docker versions you can build images directly from sources on GitHub:
docker build --pull -t mumble-server github.com/mumble-voip/mumble#master
Example --pulls each time to check for updated base image, then downloads and builds master branch.
OpenGL Overlay
The OpenGL overlay works by intercepting the call to switch buffers, and just before the buffer switch, we draw our nice GUI.
To load a game with the overlay enabled, start the game like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libmumble.so.1.1 gamename
If you have Mumble installed through the binary packages, this can be done by simply typing:
mumble-overlay gamename
