asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Live Music on Hold

I have a small * system in my home (1 U100S, 1 X100P, 1 BT101, and 1 SPA2000) to
handle my requirements.  I would like to add Music on Hold and have been
watching the forum to see if something would come across on this topic.  The
difference I am interested in is getting the music from a radio or someother
external source.  All references to MOH
up to now have been using MP3 files and going through them.  Is there some way
to get the music from an external source instead of from files?

Dan,

 

I played around with this and have also been following the MOH posts.
Playing MP3's seems to crash my system but I did get music on hold to
stream.  

 

Here is my musiconhold.conf file:

 

;

; Music on hold class definitions

;

[classes]

;default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/mp3

;loud => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/mp3

;random => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/mp3,-z

;stream =>
quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/empty,http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1006,http://
64.236.34.161:80/stream/1040,http://64.202.98.33:6230,http://69.10.147.34:80
40,http://64.202.98.75:6180,-z

 

I just used a couple of my favorite internet radio stations.  This is a
start.  I have documentation of exactly what I did to get it to work.  Let
me find it and I will post a followup reply.  Good Luck.
