[arm-allstar] Playnews problem

[Doug Crompton]

Just so everyone understands. There are two play modes - playback - global and localplay - local. BOTH have to be played to a node on YOUR server where the file you are playing exists. You can't playback (global) to some node on another server. It must be a node on your server and if you want it to play out to other nodes globally they have to be connected to the node you are playing it on.

I don't know about echolink. Maybe it is a feature to NOT play it there but if it does play there it goes by the same rules. I don't think we want to be playing out on echolink anyhow.

Remember Echolink is a feature of Allstar to allow occasional connections and should not be used in lieu of Allstar. Technically the Echolink team has banned connections to Allstar. So don't abuse it!

Doug since I have been using your script playnews never plays to other 
nodes if they are not located on the same server. it also does not play on 
echolink. we have a local net which the news is played on weekly, but we 
currently annouce that allstar and echolink connected nodes will not hear the 
newsline. otherwise its been working great

I don't think this is a problem with 
playnews. So when you play globally you hear it locally but others do not? Are 
you playing it on a node on that same server? Are you sure some other node is 
connected to the node you are playing on? Can you do it 
manually?

asterisk -rvvv

rpt playback <node> 
<file>

Where node is your node with others connected and file is a 
valid file. Use your ID if you have one in /etc/asterisk /local  or 
something from /var/lib/asterisk/sounds  - do not put the extent in the 
name -  somename not somename.gsm

Negative, I probably threw too much information at my problem. 0.7 
worked up until this week. Last night it only played locally. It would not play 
globally. I even manually called it globally with the same result. Also I can 
pick up the mic after the news is done and be heard across all connected 
nodes.
I guess my question would be. For testing is there somewhere I can 
look when I play the script globally to see what is actually happening?
Also can I some how word a command to play a sound file on my node 
and see if it plays across all nodes.
I'm willing to connect to you directly if my explanation still 
doesn't make sense.
