[asterisk-users] Asteisk plays music on hold starting from randompoint
Giorgio, This format works just how you want it to - it will play the files starting at the beginning. If you convert your files to .wav or some other format - you will get a cleaner sound. From what I have read, Fedora opens a single instance of the file regardless of the number accessing it, using Format_MP3 (the native MOH player in Asterisk 1.2 that replaced mpg123) - so you should save on CPU usage using this program instead of mpg123. From the post that I read, the person was testing it using a .wav file. Here is the copied musiconhold.conf setup [default] mode=files directory=/var/lib/asterisk/moh-native random=yes ; Play the files in a random order Robert Chadwell 800-330-7704 toll free 813-343-0181 ph 813-413-8195 fx Please feel free to IM me as well AOL Screenname: cmgrobert -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Giorgio Incantalupo Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 12:19 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] Asteisk plays music on hold starting from randompoint Hi, I'm using mpg123 to play music on hold but it seems that Asterisk does play the music from a random point: is there a way to make my music on hold always starting from beginning?

Hi Robert, cpu is no problem..but if you say the sound is cleaner..well I can try Format_MP3...the problem is I do not know how to install it. I read it is inside asterisk-addons (there is a directory named format_mp3 inside) and I always install asterisk-addons on PBXs but...how can I invoke this command?? Is it automatic??
