 - Ensure the containers have permissions for the mounted directories.
 - Viewing waveforms requires a client like Element that supports MSC1767/MSC3245.

+## Enchancement ideas

+- **Real-Time Audio Streaming**: Use a streaming output of rtlsdr-airband and route to the VOIP feature of matrix.
+- **Metadata**: Add metadata to voice messages, like signal strength, etc.
+- **Voice transciption**: Transcribe audio and include the text with messages.
+- **Data mode decoding**: Decode non-voice transmissions (e.g. APRS/AX.25, CW, etc.) and send data as message.
+- **Transmit**: Voice (or data) messages sent to the rooms could be broadcast over RF with suitable equipment.
+- **Frequency Grouping**: Organize recordings into Matrix spaces (e.g., one space per band like VHF/UHF) instead of just individual rooms per frequency.
+- **Waveform Scaling improvements**: Current the waveform is scaled such that the max is based on the largest rms value. using percentile would give better dynamic range.
+- **Upload Retry Mechanism**: Retry failed uploads (e.g., due to network issues) with exponential backoff. Wrap the client.upload and room_send calls in a retry loop using asyncio.
+- **Configuration file specific to the project**: Currently uses the `rtl_airband.conf` file to generate rooms, could do the otherway around, maybe with simple csv files for the channels.
+- **Parallel Uploads**: Process and upload multiple recordings concurrently to handle high recording rates. Use asyncio.gather to run multiple upload_file tasks.
+- **Metrics**: Process for showing per channels statistics (e.g. transmissions per hour, airtime utilization, signal strength, etc.)
+- **Quick start guide**: Lowers the entry barrier for new users.
+- **Continuous Integration**: Add tests to your GitHub Actions workflow to verify the uploader works across architectures.
