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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.

<div>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</div>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma,sans-serif">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?<br><br>asterisk -rvvv<br><br>rpt playback <node>

<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also can I some how word a command to play a sound file on my node
and see if it plays across all nodes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm willing to connect to you directly if my explanation still
doesn't make sense.</p>
