[arm-allstar] ARN not playing?

[John Wagner]

I noticed on their webpage ( https://www.arnewsline.org/ <https://www.arnewsline.org/> ) there’s a link on the left called “WEEKLY ECHOPRODUCER FILE” that links to https://www.arnewsline.org/s/news.mp3 <https://www.arnewsline.org/s/news.mp3> . Not the same as before, but similar idea in that it links to the current week’s file. We have one of the anchors in our local club here in Ohio, I’ll drop him a note and ask what’s up along with a reminder that it causes pain to others when the link changes. I’ll let the group know what I hear back. 

In the meantime, I’m going to modify this line in my /etc/asterisk/local/playnews/playnews file (line 164 in mine):
before (commented out line 164):
if [ $NEWSTYPE == "ARN" ]
  then
# Timeout set to 15 seconds with 4 retries. Set the timeout longer for slow circuits.
    wget -T 15 --tries=4 http://www.arnewsline.org/storage/audio/news.mp3 -P $TMPDIR

after (added line 165 with the new URL):
if [ $NEWSTYPE == "ARN" ]
  then
# Timeout set to 15 seconds with 4 retries. Set the timeout longer for slow circuits.
#    wget -T 15 --tries=4 http://www.arnewsline.org/storage/audio/news.mp3 -P $TMPDIR
    wget -T 15 --tries=4 https://www.arnewsline.org/s/news.mp3 -P $TMPDIR
