I am using politeid http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/128 and idtime as well. It seems to play a cw id right over the recording, without problems, and without any need to drop the carrier. But I always insert a voice ID every 10 minutes, or less, into the recording file anyway - usually in the place provided by the recording context. I also have a DTMF function where any user can stop the playback, if he needs to. I advertise this function periodically in tail messages. 73 Ken

The only problem with playing a long file continuously like this (for instance, using asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 2331 foo"
is that the repeater won't ID until the file finishes playing. Forcing an ID to play also doesn't seem to accomplish the desired result.
At least, that's what happens on my system.
Of course, once the file finishes, the ID fires, but for a file that's longer than 10 minutes, this could really be a problem.so.you'll probably want to break the file up anyway.

Unless you turn the TX time out off, you're going need to drop PTT now and then to reset the timer.

Another possibility is to use a script to put the machine in "bulletin mode" where the time out timer is disabled or at least set to a long time. The same script turns the TOT back on again at the end (so you don't forget). 73 Ken

Hi Ken, Interesting, as I also use politeid in my rpt.conf. I have voice ID’s for regular ID, however. I suppose it might make a difference, but do you use rpt playback or rpt localplay? I haven’t really played with this in a long time but think I will do so again shortly. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or (814) 431-0962 On May 28, 2014, at 5:29 PM, Ken <ke2n@cs.com> wrote:

I use "playback" Although I call it from a Linux script The script disconnects the DSTAR bridge, puts all 5 nodes in "bulletin mode", and then calls the function that does the playback. After the bulletin is done, it reverses the process, putting everything back the way it was. It has occurred to me that maybe one key component is that you have defined something as the talk-over ID, because the default is NONE. Mine is CW idtalkover=|iw4brm/r ; Talkover ID (optional) default is none 73 Ken

Hi, Here are the relevant lines from rpt.conf: idrecording=id/id […] idtime=480000 ;politeid=30000 idtalkover=|ide KB5ELV/R ERI So…maybe there’s a difference between playback and localplay? I’ll play around with it some more maybe over the weekend. On May 28, 2014, at 8:08 PM, Ken <ke2n@cs.com> wrote:
