[asterisk-users] Define custom vm-login sound file per VM context?
Is it possible to define a customize the which sound file is played when I send a caller to VoiceMailMain()? By default the sound file is vm-login.codec. Is there a way to specify which sound file is played per context or some other way to play a different sound file in place of vm-login? I have already replaced the default file and named it the same vm-login.x but still I am only able to play one file, not a different file depending on the VM context I send the caller to. I am sure someone has figured this out so, any shortcut to keep me from frying my brain on this would be appreciated.

I believe this is what you want. Instead of this Exten = _X.,123,Voicemail(100) Do Exten = _X.,123,playback(your-message) Exten = _X.,123,voicemail(100,s) Per the instructions, (100) plays the standard message, (100,b) plays busy (100,u) plays unavailable and (100,s) plays nothing (skip instructions).

Danny, This seems to be a solution for sending people to leave a voicemail, I need a solution for VoiceMailMain() when people call in to get their messages, change greeting etc. If I use the s option with VoiceMailMain it just skips checking the passcode according to the docs. Thanks for your help though, any similar ideas for VoiceMailMain?

Re: [asterisk-users] Define custom vm-login sound file per VM context?
There was a kludgy solution posted a while back that might work for you. Since Asterisk is multi-lingual you could do this Exten = _X.,123,Set(CHANNEL(language)=fr) Exten = _X.,124,Voicemailmain() This assumes you aren't using fr(French). Just copy /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr and record your alternate instructions in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr/vm-login.gsm (or whatever codec you are using). Using this work-around you could have as many greetings as you can specify languages for.

Danny,
This seems to be a solution for sending people to leave a voicemail,
I need a solution for VoiceMailMain() when people call in to get
their messages, change greeting etc.
If I use the s option with VoiceMailMain it just skips checking the
passcode according to the docs.

I am playing the sound file I need before sending them to
VoiceMailMain but then Comedian Mail! plays right after of course.
--Todd
The sound files referenced by voicemail.conf are global for all
mailboxes defined in the configuration file, regardless of whether or
not those mailboxes are defined in separate contexts. Hence, whatever
is defined for the 'vm-login' sound will be played for all users.
For this one sound file (and this one sound file only), there is a
mechanism you can use to bypass playing this sound file back. You
can tell VoiceMailMain to skip authentication of the user using the
's' flag, and use VMAuthenticate to authenticate the user yourself.
Note that internally, VoiceMailMain uses VMAuthenticate, so you're
using the exact same mechanism, just from the dialplan. If you pass the
's' flag to VMAuthenticate, it will not play the vm-login sound,
allowing you, if you want, to play a different soundfile.
In general, it would look something like this (please don't expect this
to work verbatim, but it gives you an idea):
exten = 1,1,NoOp()
same = n,Background(Your-sound-file)
same = n,VMAuthenticate(1@default,s)
same = n,GotoIf($[${AUTH_MAILBOX}=1] $[${AUTH_CONTEXT}=default]?auth:failed)
same = n(auth),VoiceMailMain(s)
same = n,Hangup()
same = n(fail),Hangup()

Re: [asterisk-users] Define custom vm-login sound file per VM context?
Wow, that makes me wonder if I could do something like: Set(CHANNEL(language)=Cust327) Then create a Language folder named Cust327 and have it just work. Weee... :-) Of course that leads me to think that I could have whole sets of custom sounds for all of Asterisk based on setting this Language bit on the way in. Guess this would all work as long as there is not some requirement in Asterisk that a language setting must be a real country/language code and not something made up. --Todd On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 11:37 AM, Danny Nicholas da...@debsinc.com wrote: There was a “kludgy” solution posted a while back that might work for you.

Re: [asterisk-users] Define custom vm-login sound file per VM context?
OK, this will work and is probably a better solution than the language
idea. Although, the language idea just sounds easier and a little more fun
:-)
Hmm, I think I will try the language solution and see if it works with a
fake country/language code like Cust327 or whatever.
Just wonder if that will break anything else now or with future upgrades.
Thanks for all the help!
