Anyone know what or how to change parrot mode to record from a connected node and play back globally, it works fine on the RF side of the node i connect to but I want parrot running on the node i connect too, to record me, and when it plays back i want it to play globally. I can connect several different ways to another node, I can turn on/off parrot and nothing happens when i transmit into the connected node and the users on the other node hear me, if someone on the other node keys up I hear parrot playback just like they do. It looks to be the record switch is the repeater node that I am connected to only see’s the repeater receiver to activate parrot record/playback. If someone can tell me what file is used and where it is located I can play. Thanks Dave ---

I can not speak to the temp file, if there is one, I had guessed it was done from memory. I finally found a old script I used to do somewhat the same. However, I can’t share the entire script as it would confuse you as it was part of a larger command interface I built. Basically, using the dialplan and asterisk ‘echo’ application (module enable required), and I think silence detect is also needed. But you could set it to time. You might want to do some reading on asterisk echo as I do not remember it all. Here is the part that shows it and you will need to adapt to fit your needs as required. Note this plays ‘some’ sound files I had recorded for the project and not part of allison’s voc. Disect and use what you need by example only. You could make this more script than dialplan. I had used this one on a dummy node that was fulltime echo-test and was initiated by connpgm [echotest] exten =\> 1,5,Playback(demo-echotest) ;plays information for the echo test that will start after this. The sound files are stored in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ by default exten =\> 1,6,Echo() ;do the echo test exten =\> 1,7,Playback(demo-echodone) ;plays information that the echo test is done exten =\> 1,8,Playback(vm-goodbye) ;goodbye message is played exten =\> 1,9,Wait(15) exten =\> 1,10,Goto(echotest,1,1) ;Loop exten =\> 1,11,Hangup() ;Hangup() closes the line If you make it work for your application, how about posting something better than mine above for others to follow. ---

Well I found that if you connect \*340894 which is a test node, from any node, private or registered, I got a voice playback of my transmissions. Exactly what I was looking for, so anyone on any connected node, no matter how they connect, can issue the command and anyone on any connection will be played back. I am finding out a whole bunch of neat things lately, Thank You to all that are making things happen. Dave
