Is it true that asterisk 1.2.6 does not use mpg123? I just installed asterisk 1.2.6 and while I do have music on hold (through format_mp3?) I do not have an mpg123 process running. I seem to be having serious audio issues when going through one of my providers (and just through that provider) when using mp3 for hold music, however when using wav files it is fine. The processor is only at about

Hi I thought I share this one, just in case this is an indication of some bug ... When I was trying to use music on hold at first, I didn't bother to copy any music into /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3 since there was a sample- hold.mp3 in there which played just fine in a standalone MP3 player. But after uncommenting one of the lines in musiconhold.conf and doing reload on the console, there

Type 'mpg123' at the Linux CL. (no quotes) If the version is anything other than 59r, you problem is solved. Go to the Wiki and search for Music On Hold. Do the install of version 59r ONLY as described in the docs.

I am trying to music on hold but I am having all sorts of problems with it. I am running RH9 and the latest version of Asterisk as of yesterday. Here is what I did to test it: 1. I manually deleted the mpg123 softlink to mpg321. 2. I downloaded mpg123-0.59r-1.n0i.src.rpm, compiled and installed the the archive and loaded ztdummy.o module. 3. I threw a couple extra files in the mohmp3 directory

should I use mpg123 with asterisk 1.2.7 or should i use the native player asterisk has? the target machine will receive heavy load. also, has anyone succedded in compiling mpg123 in a dual core pentium with centos 4.3 ? -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!)

Hi everybody, I don't know how to do this, I redirect a call and then dial someone, but I dont want the ringing tone to be listened while the dialing part is waiting for the dialed part to pick up the phone. exten => 555,2,Dial(${STRING4},30) I have tried when the option 'm' , but I don?t want the default music on hold to be listened neither. I want nothing (silence) to be heard

I'm trying to get musiconhold to work w/ my Asterisk system, and I'm not having much success yet. First, I noticed that nothing happened even after I had enabled all of the options in zapata.conf & setup a sample extension in extensions.conf. Then I read something about how Asterisk uses mpg123 to play the files. I discovered that this had not been installed on my system, so I

Does anybody have a good source for hold music? I can see a number of companies on the web that sell royalty-free MOH, but they don't all provide samples. The customer service desk has requested "calming, not sleeping, but calming" and "this is a high-tech company, so make it 'techie' [sic]". Thanks, --Ernest

Hi Guys, I am having trouble trying to get format_mp3 working to play music on hold. I have followed the instructions in the read-me and the wiki however it seems after un-installing mpg123, asterisk is not even attempting to play MOH. My musiconhold.conf is ; Music on hold class definitions ; [classes] [moh_files] default = >/var/lib/asterisk/moh-native ;default =>

Anyone have anything on this?

Hi All... When I shut down my Asterisk server early this morning I had it working nicely. I just started it up again and for some reason its acting up. When it answers the phone it plays all the messages very very slowely. Voice mail prompts seem to work fine though. I read in the archives about mpg321 vs mpg123 but I am not using music on hold and the messages are gsm files. I have

Hi, I've recently installed Asterisk and have got the majority of it configured (what an excellent piece of software it is, too), but I'm having a couple of problems. The first one is with music on hold! I've downloaded and installed mpg123 as specified: ># whereis mpg123 >mpg123: /usr/local/bin/mpg123 It's the correct version: >#

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

You could try to use the native mp3 support for MOH if you really want mp3 support. It is a lot better than using mpg123 IMHO. mpg123 kept doing nasty things to my system :) See http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20musicon hold.conf there is a section about the native support.

When I configured this server, I did not do the make mpg123 option. Months later, I read about it and did it, as the client was asking about MOH. About a week later the server crashed, which it never has before. I believe mpg123 have a memory leak. What's the best way to remove it, and is there an alternative that is stable? -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463

Been using mpg123 for moh for the last two years or so. However, when I have * config errors, often times get a endless stream of console messages and need to kill the two mpg123 processes. Is there an alternative to mpg123 that eliminates that issue? I see references in musiconhold.conf relative to madplay, native file format, asterisk-addons, etc. Not sure why the asterisk-addon approach

Hullo :) I'm using CVS-04/23/04-23 from the stable 1.0 branch on kernel 2.6 - since I have no Digium h/w, I've just managed to get the zaprtc module to compile and run, so I thought the best way to test it would be via MoH.
