Quick update.
I got everything working with the "teamspeak beta client". The new client will have some more system dependencies, but thats no problem at all.
One point I run into:
Teamspeak does drop 32 bit support completely with their next client.
I will implement a fallback here. If someone still uses a 32 bit system, it falls back to the last 32 bit ts client (which only supports ts3 server connections, no ts5 servers).
Most systems I know which run with a x86 OS are raspberry pi devices, but those since pi3 can also run rasbian with x64 since the cpu is a real 64bit chipset. So a rasbian x64 (arm) OS in addition with box64 installed and running the bots with -notportable (and installing all missing packages the bot shows on start), also works in the futute, also with ts5 connections.
I will look to push the new beta client to our beta and stay it there for a while, since it comes with additional dependencies which hosters have to install.
I also think about adding a check for those new dependencies, if they are installed (its mostly a hosting partner issue), the bot will use the newer clients. If the dependencies are not met, the bot uses the current client and prints some info like "next client update is hold back because of missing dependencies, please install them on the host system to be able to use the newer client", something like that.
This makes sure, if we update the client, that "no bot breaks" if a user clicks on update.
