Hello its Loren here and I run a couple of repeaters out here in Southern IL. These repeaters are computer controlled via Allstar software this software is basicly a linux based software. We have been given directions from the appt rpt user forum but still having issues was wondering if some one here is familure with what i am doing and and any thoughts or suggestions.. Bascily the system works using Asterisk so both repeater are running off of Asterisks internally we were using kinda like ICE cast to stream it back to Broadcastify.. Think my feed no longer exist due to repeated down time because of working on this particular issue however we would eventially like to put both feeds back online.. Anythoughts as to why Ezstream would lock up the whole system and cause us to reboot the repeater? Anythoughts as to why Asterisk and Ezstream would lock up? Thanks for the help in advance ~ Loren

---- Solved ---

1.) Extract the attached file EZS.tgz

2.) Run 'sh EZS'

3.) Agree to everything - yes

4.) Modify the /etc/ezstream.xml file - replacing the ######'s with the
correct
mount point/password/name of your stream. (These details are provided by
radioreference.com when you sign up to do a stream FREE (under the
"Technicals" tab in the stream management section.)

5.) add the following to your /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf in the first section
ex: above the status reporting section.
"outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8
--bitwidth 16 - - | /usr/bin/ezstream -qvc /etc/ezstream.xml"

*This should be all on one line ^^^*
You may change the ezstream.xml name if you wish but also do so in the /etc
dir, ex: if you had multiple streams/nodes to stream from.
This setup is per node.

btw sometimes I have had to set a cron to kill the ezstream each week or so
- has not been an issue lately if you do notice it failing, the command is
'kill -9 $(pgrep ezstream)&' This will not break/stop ezstream but should
restart it...
