Re: [asterisk-users] What could be stopping "Disconnect Call" feature from working (set in features.txt)

2016-11-09 Thread Jonathan H 
You, sir, are a genius. Thank you!

I spent ages staring at
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+14+Application_Dial
but as soon as you gave than /n, everything is working again and I
found https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Local+Channel+Optimization
which explains more.

Thank you again.

Yes, append /n to the local channel:

same => n,Dial(Local/s@dial-test/n,3,L(354:6))

Thank you - that makes sense. I've seen something about swapping and
optimizing channels on the console, but I didn't realise "optimize"
meant "not do what you wanted".

OK, so here's why I'm dialling anything at all:

The first dial is because I MUST limit the incoming call to less than
60 minutes.

The second dial, which carries the gH option, is because I want
someone to be able to listen to a radio stream

>From previous discussion here, it seems the only way to do that is the
gH workaround above.

If I'm not missing a trick here and there's no better way to do those
to things, is there any way to force Asterisk to NOT "optimize" those
channels?

Beware of local channel optimization.  You are putting state on local
channels
that can optimize out.  When the local channels optimize out they take the
state with them.

In the dialplan above you are creating the channel chain below.

PJSIP/caller --> Local/s@dial-test;1 -- Local/s@dial-test;2 -->
Local/s@dial-dest;1 -- Local/s@dial-dest;2

PJSIP/caller gets the L() duration and sounds put on it.
The Local/s@dial-test;1 gets the L() duration put on it.
The Local/s@dial-test;2 gets the H dial option put on it.

There is a bridge connecting PJSIP/caller and Local/s@dial-test;1
There is a bridge connecting Local/s@dial-test;2 and Local/s@dial-dest;1

When Local/s@dial-dest;2 executes Answer it will allow Local/s@dial-test;1
and ;2 to
optimize out because both ends are in a bridge.  Thus the H dial option
will disappear from
the channel chain.
