[Asterisk-Users] Re: SayUnixTime in CVS?

[Brian McEntire]

I've partially figured it out:

The voip-info.org <http://voip-info.org> wiki for SayUnixTime suggests that
if you don't specify the 3rd parameter, it will default to:
ABdY 'digits/at' IMp

For some reason, for my setup, the default wasn't working when I left the
parameter blank. When I specified the format in the extensions line, it
works fine:
exten => 400,n,SayUnixTime(,EST5EDT,ABdY \'digits/at\' IMp )


I looked at the code and it seems to attempt to set the default format
string based on chan->language ... maybe my language isn't set up correctly.

Anyway, hope that may be useful to someone.
