ARnewsline over repeater
by John Isabella 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

"Yes, but all that script does is download the mp3 and convert it to one long ulaw file. You can't play that on any Allstar network without breaks. In my script the ARN lines are commented out. You just need to uncomment those, and comment the ARRL lines and change the messages if you want ARN rather than ARRL." Very Nice!

ARnewsline over repeater
by Skyler F 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

I remember past discussions on this, but I don't know what the best way to do it is. Does anybody here have a good solution for airing AR newsline / do you have the code to download it, play it etc.? The repeater someone asked the possibility of airing news-line does have a hardware timeout timer, so AllStar would have to somehow manually un-key every few minutes and then continue playing. -- Skyler Fennell amsatnet.info KDØWHB electricity440(a)gmail.com

Thanks Doug and Kennith. The repeater requested to have AR newsline is rasberry pi. It also has echolink. I will try both. What intervals does the Echolink newsline let the repeater reset?

write_nodename_0.6.tar.gz
by Doug Crompton 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

I think I am finally getting this finalized. Note the version (0.5) yesterday has a bug. I changed some things around and failed to initialize a variable. Please use this version. This version 0.6 has a test for the database actually being in the defined path (set SRCDIR in script) and the ability to change volume levels. The levels are 1-10. The added option is -l level You can experiment with your own node and local playback to get the level the way you want it before you process the entire node list. ./write_nodename -on 40000 -d /root -l 2 asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 40000 /root/40000" Of course change to your nodes. Note that the level will likely not work on older installs. I don't think it works on the Acid release. I am basically writing this for the BBB and RPi2 crowd and it works fine there. You are welcome to modify this for your needs. Please let me know of any problems. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

Re: [App_rpt-users] modified custom nodenames

I was able to get the script to run by changing script from !/bin/bash to !/bin/sh HOWEVER, I had to terminate the script because the node files being created were adding every node id to every gsm created. The files were becoming huge. Not sure why that was happening. just fyi ..i have no idea how to write scripts so wouldn't know where to begin. The .tar of node names work great! Thanks K1IF - John

write_nodename script
by Doug Crompton 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Attached is the write_nodename script with a few last minute refinements. It will now include both call and node number with the -i argument. This is handy when you have more than one node with the same callsign. With the -i option it will say: w3xyz node 40000 connected to ...... You would probably only want to do this for selected nodes but you could do the entire node list that way if desired. Using the -o (overwrite) option would replace an existing entry. To revert to the default just node message simply deleted the <node>.gsm file or files manually from /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames It now also requires a -a option to process all of the nodes. Executing without any options will just give the usage screen. This prevents things from happening unexpectedly when just running the script without any options. Replace any prior scripts with this one and put it in your search path. /usrlocal/sbin is a good place. Comments always welcome. If you are using this with a BBB or RPI2 or anything with an SD card it would not be a good idea to run this as a daily job with the -o (overwrite) option as it would mean many unnecessary writes. Using it without the -o option should be OK but better yet just update manually when necessary. write_nodename v0.5 Usage: write_nodename options Writes voice files of call signs from node numbers OPTIONS: -h Show this message -a Process all nodes -i Include node number with call -o Overwrite existing file(s) -n node Process single node (overrides -a) -d path Specify path to output files Default: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames -v Verbose Write callsign for node 40000, no overwrite, all nodes - write_nodename -an 40000 Write callsign for node 40000, overwrite, all nodes - write_nodename -aon 40000 Write all callsigns, no overwrite - write_nodename -a Write all callsigns, overwrite write_nodename -ao Write single node to specific directory - write_nodename -n 40000 -d /etc/asterisk/local Write single node including both call and node number, overwrite write_nodename -ion 40000 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

If you would like to just download the files they are here - http://hamvoip.org/downloads/callsigns_gsm.tar.gz It is 10 megs+ This was written minutes ago so it is current as of today. I would still like to have as many people actually use the script though. I understand that older systems and bash versions may have problems.
