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 appreciated.
Thanks,
MATT---

Sounds like the mp3 your playing is "variable rate encoded" (most mp3's are) and * doesn't like it. Convert the mp3 to nonvariable rate encoding, try like 128b, there's plenty of tools around to do it. I can't remember for sure, but the last time I tried a variable rate encoded mp3 it didn't work at all and had to convert it. That is if your mp3 is variable rate encoded.
Hello, Well, I've re-encoded all of my files with lame just like it says to for Constant Bitrate: prompt$ lame -b 128 -F file1.wav file1.mp3 but I'm still getting the error at Asterisk start time: [res_musiconhold.so] => (Music On Hold Resource) == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/musiconhold.conf': Found Warning, flexibel rate not heavily tested! Warning, flexibel rate not heavily tested! == Registered application 'MusicOnHold' == Registered application 'WaitMusicOnHold' == Registered application 'SetMusicOnHold' No crashes yet, but that doesn't usually happen for a day or so, any ideas?
