Format_MP3 appears to play MOH files starting at the
beginning of each file, using the .wav file format, making for some repetitive hold
music unless you alter the file itself to begin somewhere in the middle. Solution: One stream that all users connect to –
giving dynamic hold music (tried and tested in A1.0x using mpg123 with some
success, and Icecast or Slimserver or Shoutcast) Format_MP3 doesn’t seem to stream, and the wiki is
wrong about streamplayer being used to play streams, as it is only used to play
raw TCP streams. There are many questions in forums on the
web with no answers about how to solve this dilemma, How do you get users
connected to a constantly-changing stream of music instead of streams starting
from the beginning (regardless of whether Linux counts them as one stream or
not where the processor is concerned)? Hopefully, at the end of this thread, I will have enough
information to go back to these web-forums and post the answer. To get it
started – here is what I have tried that hasn’t worked. In most all
cases the response is “Music on hold started”, immediately followed
by “Music on hold stopped” with no sound in any case. ;[classes] ;mode=custom ;application=/usr/bin/streamplayer 194.158.114.67 8000 ;format=ulaw ----------- Straight From The Music On Hold Wiki ;default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3-dummy

been at this for a week now. How did you make it work in Asterisk 1.2x? Rob |
