Mike, I just learned a few things... slow kid here.
I setup up iaxrpt, and added the localplay command in rpt.conf. I connected using iaxrpt, and entered the dtmf command. The playback worked. Now I’m wondering, why does it work via iaxrpt, but not in the tailmessage when it plays a woman’s voice giving the time.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Mike... you are going to have to simplify your answer for this slow kid (read that as I need specifics :-)
8901=localplay,/etc/asterisk/msg/tailmessage goes in rpt.conf? I am running the node, not attached to a radio, activating everything via PuTTY. I have an amplified speaker on the output of the URI for testing... much easier doing this here than out at the repeater site.
So, how do I activate 8901 once it is in rpt.conf, given the fact I don’t have a dtmf input... or do I in software, and I just know it?
How would one execute from CLI> ??
All the original files on the old system, replacing with a new computer, are ulaw, so am attempting to get the new system up and running with a minimum amount of changes.... remember, I’m the slow kid :-)
Thanks for your patience.

Declare a command for playing the file...
8901=localplay,/etc/asterisk/msg/tailmessage (don't forget to restart after saving file)
If it dosn't play, probably a format problem. Check sample rate etc... (8bits)
Yes, you should hear it from the audio output, same as any other audio.
I use low bitrate wav files myself. You probably should use the "gsm" format for files.
tailmessagelist=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/info
tailmessagetime=7200000 ;60 Minutes between tail messages
tailsquashedtime=600000 ;10 minutes
info.ulaw is located as described; same as the other computer.
How do you play it manually? Can this be done within asterisk so I hear it from the URI?
Is it possible I need to load a different codec for this new computer? It is an Atom with nm10 chipset; same as old board I’m replacing with this one.
A couple of things come to mind about your problem.
a) Be sure path to files is described if not the default.
b) be sure the sound file format is correct (can you play it manually?)
c) tail message list is a coma separated list. look for type errors.
tailmessagelist=/etc/asterisk/msg/tmsg1,/etc/asterisk/msg/tmsg2,/etc/asterisk/msg/tmsg3 ;tail msg list
For some reason, my new ACID load (new computer) is not playing my commanded tailmessagelist, but is playing what sounds like a default tailmessage; female voice giving the time. What could be the issue? I’m using the same tailmessage lines from another setup that is playing my recorded message.
