[Asterisk-Users] mp3player not working

[Christopher Lee]

Hi,   I’m running the latest Asterisk (built last Saturday) and can’t get mp3’s to playback on my handsets (this includes music on hold).   I setup a couple of extensions, 901 and 902 to playback an mp3 I loaded on, and the sample moh that is included with Asterisk.   When I attempt to call either extension I don’t hear any sound, and the following displays on the console:       -- Executing Answer("SIP/931-0efa", "") in new stack     -- Executing Wait("SIP/931-0efa", "1") in new stack     -- Executing MP3Player("SIP/931-0efa", "/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/sample-hold .mp3") in new stack Jan 22 11:12:32 WARNING[442386]: rtp.c:375 ast_rtp_read: RTP Read error: Resourc e temporarily unavailable Jan 22 11:12:35 NOTICE[442386]: app_mp3.c:93 timed_read: Selected timed out/erro red out with 0     -- Executing Wait("SIP/931-0efa", "20") in new stack   == Spawn extension (local, 902, 4) exited non-zero on 'SIP/931-0efa'   The IP phones I’m using are Cisco 7940 running G.729a. I have successfully licenced and registered 2x channels of g729 codec (running the new_codec_binary from ftp.digium.com) today, and have no problems checking my voicemail on Asterisk or dialing out through IAXtel or receiving calls.   Even when I was running g711ulaw codec on the phones I had the same problem. Is there another dependency that is required for mp3playback in Linux? Is a soundcard required?   My Linux box is running Slackware Linux 9.1.   Any help to point me in the right direction to getting mp3playback and my music on hold working would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance, Chris Lee
