Hey guys, just recently got a club repeater stack on the air with QNet for the first time instead of G2/G3.
So far it has been smooth sailing. but I am setting up some voice announcement scripts, and cant get qnvoice to play a non-garbled stream for the life of me.
It plays the default .dat files from the announce directory no problem, but if I make my own file using the method described in:
(leave a voice mail with "S0", then chop off the first 56 octets with "tail -c +56")
It just comes out trashed.
On the other hand, I noticed that when I rename that custom created file (with the 56 octets trimmed off) to id.dat, and copy it to the announcement file directory,
it plays automatically once or twice with no issues (but then stops playing automatically?) The thing that is getting me here, is that if I use qnvoice to play the same exact file, its just totally trashed on the RX end.
So what gives???
Is this a known thing? Am I just doing something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated here as it would save me from having to get a DVdongle and record / convert my files for another program like ambestream to playback.
?
Thanks,
