<DIV>Doug. A very usefull feature, but lets make it better yet! How about these
changes to Sam's concept.</DIV>
<DIV>1. Split the script into two parts.</DIV>
<DIV>part a - would remove all files and then download the mp3 and convert it
into ul files. this would be setup in cron once a week </DIV>
<DIV>separate filenames should be used so when the script updates one of the
files, the other news files will remain until it gets updated. this way both
news scripts are the most current, and using part - b script they can be played
multiple times but only one download a week. we have people who want to play the
scripts at different times due to there work schedule.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>part b - would be activated by a dtmf sequence ( I use *930 for ARN and
*932 for ARRL</DIV>
<DIV>the purpose of the script would be to change the holdoff value as you
suggest</DIV>
<DIV>ID</DIV>
<DIV>force an ID</DIV>
<DIV>change any other parameters if desired</DIV>
<DIV>enable a method to pause the playback in a emergency. we need
options to resume playing or terminate now</DIV>
<DIV>play file</DIV>
<DIV>force id</DIV>
<DIV>reset holdoff parameter</DIV>
<DIV>disable or reset any other parameters that was changed</DIV>
<DIV>do not delete files</DIV>
<DIV>exit script</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 face=Tahoma,sans-serif>I put a new version of
playnews up on hamvoip.org in the howto section. It includes a request for
playing now in console mode. This is useful if you want to get everything ready
to play and manually hit a key to start it.<BR><BR><A
href="http://hamvoip.org/downloads/playnews-0.6.tar.gz"
target=_blank>http://hamvoip.org/downloads/playnews-0.6.tar.gz</A><BR><BR>Changes
from 0.5<BR><BR> - If you enter "now" for the time it will download and
process the files, skip the pre-warnings, wait for any key to be
pressed and play the news.<BR><BR> - The node number must be
entered.<BR><BR> - An optional last parameter L|G for local or global play
can be entered. If omitted playback is global.<BR><BR>I recommend making a
directory "playnews" in /etc/asterisk/local cd to that directory and
untar the files there.<BR><BR>Rename playnews-0.6 to playnews once
extracted.<BR><BR>If the files are not placed in /etc/asterisk/local/playnews
you must specify the location in the VOICEDIR variable in the
script.<BR><BR> v0.6 updates<BR><BR> - Now requires that all
parameters be entered except<BR> mode which defaults to
global if not entered<BR> - More parameter checking
added<BR> - Time can be set to "NOW" for immediate
start<BR><BR> Command line format - playnews ARRL|ARN 21:00|NOW
40000 L|G<BR> <BR> Options are ARRL or ARN news, specific 24 hour
time or "NOW"<BR> and local "L" or Global "G" play
modes.<BR><BR> DO NOT use the the "NOW" time parameter in a cron
