playback command

G4rky · November 23, 2009, 10:26am

Hi all,

I have been going nuts trying to remember the syntax for this and I am hoping someone here can put me straight!

96=playback 2514 ,hello-world

in my rpt.conf file in the functions stanza. 2514 is the node number and hello-world is just an example sound file from the atserisk/sounds directory.

I had this working once upon a time but now I just cant seem to get the syntax right to get it to work.

All I want to do is to call a voice ID file from the scheduler by calling a macro, so I need to define a dtmf code to it so the macro can run the fiunction.

<-- Hi Matt; try this...

96=playback 2514,rpt/hello-world

Note that 'playback' will play the file globally, so all nodes connected to 2514 will hear the announcement (use with caution!).

In the above example, the 'hello-world' file is located in the following dir:

/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt

HTH - and I look forward to the news about the 220 gear!

Ah, thank you both for the replies.

I have this working now Stephen, thanks for that.

Now I have another related ( loosely ) question.

I wanted to use this function to play a voice ID at the top of the hour on a repeater.

I have just ( yesterday ) added an additonal node to my system at Dundry and now have two nodes running on 1 machine.

The instructions to achieve this were great and its easy to do, but there was one part I wasnt 100% sure about.

In RPT.CONF, where do I put my configuration for the second node?

Do I put it right at the very end of the existing config, after the scheduler section or do I put it after the node definition, after the statpost commands?

I’ll give it a try at the very end and see what happens…

Thanks,

Matt

If you've not done this already be sure to try:

rpt playback <node#> tt-weasels

Trust me.. it's worthwhile.

If that's not your fancy there's always tt-monkeys

heh heh nice one Steve, yes all sorts of fun can be had now!

Just to tie the ribbons on my related question, I now have my 2 nodes working great using two separate stanzas in rpt.conf.

I wasnt sure of this would work but its working out well - I have two complete sets of node configs, I left the original one as it was and pasted a whole new one underneath it and renamed all the stanzas with a suffix of the repeater’s callsign so I know what I am doing when I edit it.

The more I find out about app_rpt the more**I love it!
