RE: [Asterisk-Users] Redirect two channels to each other?
This may be somewhat of a cross-post with -dev, but I have Manager Bridge Action working under CVS_HEAD and releases 1.0.6-7. http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4297 MATT--- -Original Message- From: Josiah Bryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 1:53 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Redirect two channels to each other?

IIRC (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Manager+API+Action+Redirect), Manager action 'Redirect' only takes Channel, ExtraChannel, Exten, Context, and Priority as parameters. Example (transferring existing 2 party call to a meetme room): Action: Redirect Channel: Zap/73-1 ExtraChannel: SIP/199testphone-1f3c Exten: 8600029 Context: default Priority: 1 The problem is that you cant redirect to an existing _channel_. I dont know of any channel 'hack' like there is for Local extensions (e.g. to make an extension look like a channel, use Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc - is there the inverse of that? Make a channel look like an extension?) It almost sounds like there needs to me a new manager action: Action: Bridge ChannelA: SIP/199testfone-1f3c ChannelB: Zap/6-1 It sounds like the intrinsic functionality for 'bridging' is already there in Asterisk (duh!), it just needs to be encapsulated in a manager action. Any takers? Maybe a bounty is needed...? -josiah -- Josiah Bryan IT Coordinator Productive Concepts, Inc.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Redirect two channels to each other?
I would suggest opening up a bug on the tracker, if it hasn't been done already, for all of these discussions to be logged to. >From my glancing at the code, I think there would be a little more cleanup involved in it than just the ast_bridge_chan function. But either way being part of the Manager this is going to have to be clean enough to pass the Mark test to make it into CVS. Any master Asterisk developers listening out there who would like to tackle this one?

Fine by me...but does anybody know the relevant subs in any of the asterisk source that actually does the bridging? I mean, is it possible that its as easy as: 'void ast_bridge_chan( ast_chan * a, ast_chan *b )' and we just need to package it as a manager action?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Redirect two channels to each other?
Maybe this would best be explained in a diagram: 1). person A <---> music on hold and person B <---> music on hold 2). *some manager API action* 3). person A <---> person B This is what I think he's asking about, how do you take two parties on different conversations and put them together without using a meetme conference?

I've been scratching my head trying to think of a way to do this, but without success yet. I'm using the Manager API. If I have two channels linked to each other (i.e. direct connection), or even if they are independent channels, I can transfer them both to the same extension by using Action: Redirect and using Channel: for one and ExtraChannel: for the other. This is most useful for putting them both in the same Meetme conference. What I want to do is find a way to take two unrelated existing channels (which for the sake of argument might be sitting in MusicOnHold, separate conferences, the same conference or whatever), and link them together into a direct call rather than having them talk via their own Meetme conference. Does anyone have any ideas if this can be done?

I have no ideas, other than Meetme. It sounds like it would involve some direct modification of the * code. Its similar to the pickup code - perhaps start there. Let me know if you find anything - id be intersted in a solution for it as well, i just dont have the time to find a solution. -josiah ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Redirect two channels to each other?
As ny 10 year old step-daugher says "I don't get it.." Can't you just do a redirect if you specify the channels, * doesn't care if they are bridged together or not. You may end up with zombie channels if the other leg does not drop, but you could do a soft hangup and take care of that..
