Playing mp3 files in app_rpt?

Is it possible to play mp3 formatted messages over the radio
using the schedule stanza in rpt.conf? If so, what is required?

Thanks,

They’ve got to be converted to a format that asterisk recognizes.
Either .ulaw or .gsm … I’m sure there are others, but not .mp3

Asterisk needs to be taught how to play mp3 format.

Do the following:

wget -nd http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-addons-1.4.13.tar.gz

tar xvzf asterisk-addons-1.4.13.tar.gz

cd asterisk-addons-1.4.13

./configure

make

make install

restart asterisk an you can start using mp3 format. However

format_mp3 can cause Asterisk to crash on certain mp3 files (notably 8k files made with lame) due to bugs in mpglib. If you must use this module, use it only with mp3’s you know will work with it.

This needs to be done every time asterisk is compiled and reinstalled.

Google audacity and asterisk. It should point you to a document that will instruct how to create or convert to the ulaw format required for asterisk. It is an excellent resource.

Thanks Scott and Geoff, I'll experiment with both the conversion, and teaching Asterisk to play.
