similar to: MusicOnHold "zombie" mpg123 processes

Hullo :) I'm using CVS-04/23/04-23 from the stable 1.0 branch on kernel 2.6 - since I have no Digium h/w, I've just managed to get the zaprtc module to compile and run, so I thought the best way to test it would be via MoH. The MP3Player application works great .. exten => 6901,1,Answer exten => 6901,2,MP3Player(http://127.0.0.1:85/ES/28) This will play callers BBC Radio 4 from

I'm trying to get musiconhold to work w/ my Asterisk system, and I'm not having much success yet. First, I noticed that nothing happened even after I had enabled all of the options in zapata.conf & setup a sample extension in extensions.conf. Then I read something about how Asterisk uses mpg123 to play the files. I discovered that this had not been installed on my system, so I

Running Asterisk 1.6.2.11 on debian 5.0.6 with mpg123 1.4.3 when i start asterisk, i immediately see two mpg123 processes spawned which sit there forever. I can't imagine it's normal behavior, but if it is, please explain :) # /etc/init.d/asterisk stop stopping asterisk. #[...] # /etc/init.d/asterisk start starting asterisk. # psg aster root 14573 1 0 16:29 pts/2 00:00:00

Been using mpg123 for moh for the last two years or so. However, when I have * config errors, often times get a endless stream of console messages and need to kill the two mpg123 processes. Is there an alternative to mpg123 that eliminates that issue? I see references in musiconhold.conf relative to madplay, native file format, asterisk-addons, etc. Not sure why the asterisk-addon approach

Hi On my FC3 box with asterisk 1.0.9....MusicOnHold is not working. It starts and stops immediately... An unknow option mono comes...from where it is originating.?? As there is nothing written in .conf file. Console output is below: I am using mpg123 version 0.59r. Although I am able to play music with mpg123 but why it is on No-cooperation movement against asterisk ? Need help..any

Hi there, After scratching my head for days on why there is horrible white noise in musiconhold, I finally found out that the latest emerge version of mpg123: 0.59s-r2 is not working well with asterisk. However, if you get the latest source from mpg123.de mpg123-pre0.59s.tar.gz. Then it works wonderfully. Just a heads up for the Gentoo admin David

Hey all, I have read on voip-info.org that to configure MoH asterisk requires the use of mpg123. I have installed mpg123 and restarted asterisk. But, when i put a call on hold i get this error: May 25 14:13:03 WARNING[1872]: res_musiconhold.c:865 local_ast_moh_start: No class: default Can you help, Thanks yusuf

When I start * I get 6 mpg123 processes start as well. Is this normal? Often after a couple of days these mpg123 processes start to consume cpu and I have to kill them off. I do not have a sound card in the server and I have noload => chan_oss.so Simon

Hello, I am currently using MusicOnHold(mpg123), and it works just fine, but every once in a while I will get a flurry of warnings in the CLI like those below and Asterisk will freeze completely, and the only way to come out of it is with a kill -9 . Is mpg123 causing my problem? Is there a specific format of MP3 that should be used/avoided to not have errors like these? Any help would be greatly

When I configured this server, I did not do the make mpg123 option. Months later, I read about it and did it, as the client was asking about MOH. About a week later the server crashed, which it never has before. I believe mpg123 have a memory leak. What's the best way to remove it, and is there an alternative that is stable? -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463

I installed Asterisk 1.0.9 in a Freebsd 5.4 ( with no zaptel card); I have 2 zoom x5v and works great ( in extensions 123 and 321 ) but I was trying to test cmd Playback, MusicOnHold, MP3Player but when I call to extension 100 I don't hear the sound ( mp3 or gsm that I put) , I only hear noise If I leave a message in a mailbox the same, all the record is noise --------- extensionns.conf

Is there any reason why there should ever be more than 1 instance of mpg123 running on a * server? I just did an 'uptime' and noticed all 3 of my loads where over 3.00. 'top' showed 8 mpg123 processes all processing the same 3 songs (our background music). I tried to kill one of them but another one spawned in its place. Any ideas? Thanks, Matthew

Hello, I need to play some musiconhold content starting at a random duration from the start. Thanks to mode=custom option and either madplay or mpg123 programs, I could successfully get what I was after on a Debian Wheezy system. Now I realized sox version on my target system (Debian Squeeze) cannot convert to MP3 format. So I'm looking after workarounds. 0. I've read many mpg123 or

I can't seem to get musiconhold to work. I'm running asterisk on a RH9 box, I have the mpg123 package installed. In my zapata.conf file I have the line MusicOnHold=default . In my musiconhold.conf file, in the classes section I uncommented default and loud. In my extensions.conf file I have a set musiconhold line. However if I get a call and I either put it on hold or hit flash

I am using CVS-v1-0-04/20/05-12:31:26. Windows Messenger5.1 works MOH fine. After I stop MOH on Windows Messenger, if the hungup signal could not send to *, the sip channel(e.g.,SIP/52001-08ca) for this MOH remains. Then the user trys again MOH, a new sip channel starts. And again the hugup signal can not send to *,......... When I 'stop now' from CLI> , * cleanups the remaining sip

All, I've been setting up an Asterisk PBX over the past few days and I stumbled across a problem with mpg123 that I have not seen documented anywhere. If you put mp3 files into your mohmp3 directory and these files have ID3v2 tags, mpg123 will throw an error message "Found new ID3 Header", regardless of the -q flag. This, in turn, will cause Asterisk to crash (yes), although

Does everyone have two processes running for mpg123? I always have them when I'm running an idle Asterisk box. No calls going in or out and nothing off hook. Is this normal? Thanks! 5008 ?

Anyone have anything on this?

I've followed the docs on how to configure musiconhold. I then added an extension to test it like this: exten => 6601,1,WaitMusicOnHold(30) And when I dial that extension I do hear something for 30 seconds - but it is not what I'd call music... it sounds more like the sound effects from a scifi flick - now and then it sounds like jail cell doors closing and echoing. Kinda cool but

Is it true that asterisk 1.2.6 does not use mpg123? I just installed asterisk 1.2.6 and while I do have music on hold (through format_mp3?) I do not have an mpg123 process running. I seem to be having serious audio issues when going through one of my providers (and just through that provider) when using mp3 for hold music, however when using wav files it is fine. The processor is only at about
