[asterisk-users] Switching between Music on Hold streams. [13.8.2]

Hi there;

I didn't see any "G" option in the example above, and the usage
for
the option parameters is entirely undocumented at
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Dial

The G options are as below
G - If the call is answered, transfer the calling party to the
specified priority and the called party to the specified priority plus
one.
context
exten
priority

I think I have something almost there now, with the following:

[streamdemo]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,BackGround(menu)
exten => s,3,WaitExten
exten => s,4,Goto(s,2)
exten =>
_[2,3,4,5],1,Dial(Local/${EXTEN}@play-radio,,G(play-radio^${EXTEN}^2))
exten => _[2,3,4,5],2,Goto(s,2)

[play-radio]
Exten => _[2,3,4,5],1,Answer
exten => _[2,3,4,5],2,MusicOnHold(${CALLERID(name)}${EXTEN})
exten => _[2,3,4,5],3,Set(CHANNEL(language)=en_GB)
exten => _[2,3,4,5],4,BackGround(menu)
exten => _[2,3,4,5],5,WaitExten
exten => _[X,t,i],1,Goto(streamdemo,s,2)

However, it's like the play-radio channel can't "hear" the
dtmf.

Here's the output -  once that MoH starts playing, no amount of button
pushing works. All I'm left with is a channel which isn't closed
properly when the phone is hung up.

By the way, it looks like that "G" option IS working because the MoH
starts, then the "called party" plays back an example piece of
"menu"
audio while the MoH is playing, but seems to ignore the keypresses.

[asterisk-users] Switching between Music on Hold streams. [13.8.2]

Sorry about that it's the g option:
   g: Proceed with dialplan execution at the next priority in the current
    extension if the destination channel hangs up.

What you are doing is "dialing" another location that picks up. When
you
press # the called leg hangs up and the call continues in the dialplan.

You have an error in your dialplan!  The pattern _[2,3,4,5] will match any of 
2, a comma, 3, a comma  (again), 4, a comma or 5.

I think you might mean  _[2345]  which will match any of 2, 3, 4 or 5  (but 
not a comma),  and contains no tautologies.

[asterisk-users] Switching between Music on Hold streams. [13.8.2]

Thanks Joshua and everyone,

Joshua's solution seems a lot simpler and works well. Only one thing
now - The reason I named the classes as I did, was so that I could
select the class based on callerID plus extension.

Unless I've misread it, I'm limited to 9 switchable classes via the
"digit=#" option, is that correct?

Or is there a clever hack around this?

extensions.conf

[streamdemo]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,BackGround(menu)
exten => s,3,WaitExten
exten => _[2,3,4,5],1,MusicOnHold(${CALLERID(name)}${EXTEN})
;exten => s,5,Goto(s,2)
exten => _[X,t,i],1,Goto(streamdemo,s,2)

and in musiconhold.conf (4 is commented out as it's AAC and I've not
figured that one out yet - bonus points to someone who can point the
way!)

[streamdemo2]
mode=custom
digit=2
application=/usr/bin/mpg123 -q -r 8000 -f 32768 --mono -s
