? ?Mark, Finally after a fresh install of all the files I have the get scripts running. When I try to play the scripts it acts like its running and goes back to the root prompt and nothing come out the speakers or transmitted over the air. Is there something I need to change in the play script to get it to play. I am using the W0ANM scripts.

Try this http://webpages.charter.net/w0anm/irlp/WxScripts.html and http://webpages.charter.net/w0anm/irlp/scripts/WxScripts-0.9.4.noarch.rpm You want the getWxAlert script. It calls out to NOAA and downloads an XML file formatted in the Govt's new alerting format. If you poll it every minute you'll get an update as soon as it's posted. We have it configured on our 220 repeater such that a severe event gets play instantly and then every 10 minutes for the first hour and then 20 mins for the second hour and then 30 mins thereafter until the event is canceled. The script can be modified to collect other info too. Amber Alerts are now using this XML format as are DHS and other Govt agencies. Mark On 12/10/2010 09:22 AM, David KE6UPI wrote:

MP3 Audio directly from NOAA! Updated URLs on 12-15-06
If you are in the San Diego NOAA Office area (and maybe others, check your regional NOAA Office homepage from http://weather.gov/), you can get an audio file of the current forecast for your zone and play it directly.
For the San Diego NOAA Office area, go to http://newweb.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/ and click on the Audio selection under Forecasts. Get the URL of the audio file for your zone from the map.
Create an announcement in wav format from: http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php I like the UK-Audrey voice, but try some others too. Make something like: latest-forecast.wav "Please wait while I download the latest forecast" select-weatherorvmc.wav "Press 1 for voicemail press 2 for the latest weather forecast" You will have to convert the wav files from 16000Hz to 8000Hz and maybe speed them up a bit (135%) and reduce the volume (60%) before you use them. Put them in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds named latest-forecast.wav and select-weatherorvmc.wav
Add something like this to your extensions.conf (maybe in the rans <http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/rans> section) to get the latest forecast when you dial whatever extension (like 865) that you choose.
My extensions.conf for audio weather:
| exten => 865,1,Answer exten => 865,2,Playback(latest-forecast) exten => 865,3,System(/usr/bin/curl -shttp://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/data/audio/LAXSAFC42.mp3
/tmp/LAXSAFC42.mp3)
exten => 865,4,Wait(1) exten => 865,5,MP3Player(/tmp/LAXSAFC42.mp3) exten => 865,6,System(rm /tmp/LAXSAFC42.mp3 -f) exten => 865,7,Hangup |
If you have trouble, make sure you have curl installed, change the path above if necessary. find / -type f -name "curl" will find your curl executable. I'm using MP3Player instead of Playback because I don't have a sound card in the Asterisk box so mpg123 fails when it tries to use /dev/dsp. I suppose there is a way to have a dummy dev, but I don't know how. If you do use Playback instead of MP3Player, don't use the .mp3 file extension in your extensions.conf.
