Hey all - At AstriDevCon this year, I noted that while we implemented remote media playback in Asterisk 14 [1], it didn't yet work with ARI. I was looking at finishing off this feature for a slightly later release of Asterisk 14, but as I was playing around with it, I realized that it actually *does* work, although the way in which you invoke the remote playback is admittedly a little funky.
When posting a /play operation on a bridge or channel resource, providing an HTTP or HTTPS URI to a media identifier of type 'sound:' will cause the Asterisk core to go ahead and pull the media from the provided HTTP/HTTPS URI. That is, something like this will work: POST /channels/my_unique_id/play?media=sound: http://remote_ip_address/foo.wav (Note that you'd obviously want to URL encode the URI of the media to be retrieved) This works as well, of course, with JSON bodies POSTed. I've updated the feature description accordingly [2]. Note that I do think Ben Langfeld's comments about supporting text/uri-list is reasonable, and would be useful in the long run. In the short term, at least, this feature does work from ARI.
