Playback works, now for MP3Player
by KI6PSP (Ed) 31 Aug '10

Ok, I can play wav wiles at will, but what needs to happen to play an MP3. I managed to install mpg123-0.68, but the repeater just Donks at me when I attempt to play the mp3 with a macro. Here is my code snippet: 96=playback,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn 97=MP3Player,/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/test.mp3 ;989=cop,4 980=status,3 99=cop,6 ; Place command macros here [macro27178] 1=*96# 2=*97# -- KI6PSP (Ed)

I can't seem to get the web transceiver to work on Ubuntu using Firefox. It will connect but no key up or audio comes through. It does fine on XP. Greg

A few minor details
by kb8ude＠gmail.com 30 Aug '10

Noticed while at the portal, when going to Server|-= Setup Wizard =- the initial page that loads with the picture of the server and two nodes has a misspelling on the button to select an already created 'sever.' Also, I see no way to delete a server should you accidentally on purpose create an unwanted server. The node/server configuration pages have an odd navigation to them, greying out options unexpectedly when you submit your changes and then move to the next 'tab' if you will. (APRS/GPS Settings for instance) On the subject of APRS/GPS Settings, I see no explanation anywhere how to configure this option. Is a GPS mandatory or will it use the already configured server location coordinates? That's enough criticism for the moment. You guys are doing great and I hope Jim gets better soon so he can get back to what he obviously must be passionate about. Cheers, Shawn 27248 Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

I understand the * for the start of the command and close with the #. When I test the *52, it does say the time. That is not what I am getting at. I want to occasionally say, "*50 for information", then when somebody pushes *50, it will play another recording that will have the basic instructions for repeater usage. I can't get the playback command to work. I also tried using the playback command in the [functions27178] stanza vise the [macro27178] stanza, so I must be using the command wrong. Can anyone assist me with this? KI6PSP

Message: 1 Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:43:15 +0100 From: "keith handscombe" <keith(a)handscombe.co.uk> Subject: [App_rpt-users] Backup machine To: <app_rpt-users(a)qrvc.com> Message-ID: <000001cb4702$67a0a8c0$36e1fa40$(a)co.uk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Good evening all, New at this so sorry if a stupid question. I run node 2498 (Echolink 5503 and IRLP 5503). I wanted to create a backup pc of my fully working node and as I have a spare PIV 2Ghz Pc. I did the following. 1. Installed the Centos 5.5 CD onto the new pc with USB Sound fob in USB port.( This device I have already tested and know this works) 2. Followed and all updates were completed in about 40 minutes 3. I was prompted for an IP address and I selected DHCP 4. When asked my password I selected a high encryption password 5. Then finally asked to insert my node number...2498 6. Password as supplied by All star on some months ago I then typed in. I was then at the logon prompt so Logon with root Password used and I was at the console I then deleted the asterisk folder on this fresh build and contents and copied (using winscp) the asterisk folder and contents that I had backup off my working but powered off main node. When I finally ifconfig and made sure the private IP was identical to my main All star node that I had firstly copied the complete Asterisk contents over was already turned off( No IP conflicts) I then telinit 6 and thus a reboot On power up the IP was the same. I copied the IRLP backup into temp Then tried irlpsetup.sh ( Was unable to run) All worked ok 3 weeks ago when I ran the identical command. I was then unable to connect to no links be it Echolink or All Star. ( I was unable to resolve Echolink by a ping Europe.echolink.org. path unknown) Any ideas I have made sure the Asterisk contents match size for size of my working node and is in the correct place. I have made sure the A was not in the iax configuration I have put this backup Pc under the bench as work in progress and turned my main All Star back on. After 10 minutes all now is fine and working has anyone any idea on what I missed please? Many thanks Keith Handscombe G7DNT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Keith, I don't claim any sort of "guru" status but it looks to me like you've unwittingly answered your own question! If you can't ping a host by name, the first thing to check is whether you can ping it by its IP address. If you can, then it's a problem with name resolution. [root@IOMHub ~]# ping europe.echolink.org PING server2.echolink.org (216.69.181.113) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ip-216-69-181-113.ip.secureserver.net (216.69.181.113): icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=148 ms Since Allstar uses FQDN (Fully-qualified domain names) to address hosts, if name resolution is broke - so is AllStar! Check in /etc/resolv.conf and see if it has an entry for your ADSL router's address. Mine looks like this: [root@IOMHub etc]# cat resolv.conf ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script nameserver 192.168.0.1 You can check the network settings by entering "system-config-network-tui". This loads a text-based interface for setting-up the network. If your router isn't dishing-up DNS - and I have had tremendous trouble with a D-Link router that did just that - you could always use a public DNS instead (like 8.8.8.8). Not sure if any of this helps, but perhaps it will. Good Luck. David Osborn GD4HOZ (2480 - 2484)

What am I doing Wrong-Playback Command
by KI6PSP (Ed) 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I am trying to add a playback fuction so I can add in a tail message telling everyone to press *50 for information, then use that to playback basic repeater command instructions. I have tested this several ways, and I can't seem to get it. Plus, during my testing, I think I set *50 to a *81# so it will tell me the time. It is no longer in the config, but it still does it, so I cant use *50. Here is a clip from my rpt.conf file. [functions27178] 1=ilink,1 2=ilink,2 3=ilink,3 4=ilink,4 ;50=playback 27178,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn ;Testing, this didn't work 5=macro,1 70=ilink,5 71=ilink,6 72=ilink,7 73=ilink,15 74=ilink,16 75=ilink,8 80=status,1 81=status,2 6=autopatchup,noct=1,farenddisconnect=1,dialtime=20000 ; Autopatch up 0=autopatchdn ; Autopatch down 96=playback 27178,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn ;Repeater just Donks at me ;989=cop,4 980=status,3 99=cop,6 ; Place command macros here [macro27178] 1=playback,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn ;Repeater just Donks at me 2=*81# ;This one works ;Any others, it tell me Macro Not Found, so it must be finding the *51, but not playing the file. File is the same one for initial ID, and it works -- KI6PSP (Ed)
