Way back in 2016 the only way to allow callers to listen in to a stream "at will" was to do the following:
moh.conf [radio] mode=custom application=/usr/bin/mplayer https://example.com/stream.mp3 -quiet -ao pcm:file=/dev/stdout -af volume=5,resample=8000,channels=1,format=alaw extensions.conf exten => radio,1,Verbose(1, Entered radio context) same => n,Set(VOLUME(TX)=1) same => n,WaitExten(27006,m(radio)) same => n,Goto(#,1) It kind of works, but two problems here: It's pulling data 24x7, giving the radio host artificial stats - all rather needless as maybe one or two people might listen for 10 mins each in a day. And even though mplayer seems to stay up and running all the time, sometimes Asterisk will stop listening on that pipe and everything needs a restart (random, less than once a week). Is there a more modern/sensible way of achieving the same, just ensuring that stream plays if someone listens, isn't playing when no-one is listening, and listening can be exited with a specified key? Thanks!
