Asterisk then ignores the configured music class when it's given like this in musiconhold.conf (and plays music from the default class instead): [test] mode=playlist entry=rtsp://10.10.30.20/12 So I guess that musiconhold may be limited to audio only. But who knows? What are the requirements for the URLs that can be used with the 'playlist' option in musiconhold.conf? It's generally possible to stream stuff to devices (like phones), like when using the Playback() dialplan application to stream audio. Is it somehow possible to stream audio from programs into channels from the dialplan or somewhere else without using musiconhold.conf? If that was possible, it might be possible to stream video instead. Does pjsip support video? [1] would indicate that it doesn't. However, that information seems to be over 8 years old :( [1]: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Video+Telephony

(or “anything” that mplayer can play)." Those look promising to me. Antony. -- "The future is already here.

I can use 'ffmpeg -i rtsp://10.10.30.20/12 -map 0:0 -f matroska pipe:1 > some_file' and then play the file with mpv (rawvideo doesn't work with mpv --- but should work with a phone?). Why is the system call being interrupted all the time? Because asterisk doesn't take video for music?
