similar to: MOH - 3 processes of mpg321 taking 20%CPU each - normal ?

No, DON'T use mpg321, it will not work. Make sure you're using mpg123.

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

Has anyone managed to set up a moh server for Asterisk? Reason would be to offload processing off the asterisk box, onto another system. The wiki is a bit light on details. If anyone managed to get it up and working, what software did you use on the server side, and what client app did you use? Mpg123? Mpg321? Madplayer? Something else? Also, putting legal ramifications aside, it'd be nifty

I have the following in extensions.conf: [global] MP3ROOT=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3 [default] exten => 1111,1,Answer ; Answer the line exten => 1111,2,DigitTimeout,5 ; Set Digit Timeout to 5 seconds exten => 1111,3,MP3Player(${MP3ROOT}/sample-hold.mp3) The command that runs is: 14030 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s -b 1024 --mono -r 8000

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

Can anyone provide me with a step by step on how to set up Windows Messenger on a Windows XP Pro box as a SIP client with asterisk? I'm interested in doing various tests of my asterisk server from the Windows perspective of the world. In the alternative if someone could provide information on another Windows based fully functional easy to configure iax or SIP client that would suffice as

I have read every thread, I have Redhat 9, Asterisk 1.0.6, 2 T1 lines connected via TE405P. Everything works great, except MOH. I added an exten with MusicOnHold(30), and it plays just fine. Conferences have music when no one is in. I have SIP phones. When I place a call on hold, the CLI give no indication the call is on hold. I have set musiconhold(default) everywhere, removed it from everywhere,

I am having trouble getting streaming MOH to work. As far as I can tell I have everything configured properly but there is only silence. Your help is appreciated. I am running Asterisk 1.8.11-cert10 with mpg123 1.12.1 to play the stream (I have tried madplay, and mpg321, and I compiled streamplayer as well with the same results). I started by finding a working stream and tested this from the shell

I've tried a number of solutions, but I've been unable to get Asterisk working with streaming MOH without running into the "buffer" issue. I've tried using various combinations madplay, mpg123, mpg321. I've also tried streamplayer by itself, and in combination with play-fifo ( http://www.freeswitch.org/asterisk_stuff/play-fifo.c ) to try and eliminate the issue. For

Would anyone mind emailing me, or maybe posting somewhere their music on hold .so file? thx -ben

This was just a recent personal experience.... Maybe I missed a thread on this: We recently installed asterisk (CVS-HEAD) on a debian system using 2.6 kernel and the enhanced RTC for all timing. Also a custom compiled kernel for the CPU on the box (P4). We had a strange thing happen in that with Debian's MPG123 package: Sound files played in asterisk/mpg123 were heard at literally 1/10th

Dear all, I have some questions, I'm sure it's pretty stupid for most of you, but I need you guys to help me. Here are my questions: 1. Music On Hold, it doesn't play any sound on the parked call or hold call. But if I do ps-ax, it shows mpg123 .....( I forgot the exact line). I'm using slackware 9.1 2. I have fxs 3 port, and in my zapata.conf I have included callpickup=1-4,

This may sound kind of crazy and I maybe missing something. But are you placing the call on hold so you can hear the hold music. This may not be the case but you may have to place the call on hold to here the music. Also you mentioned sound, you do not need a sound card in the asterisk box to use this hold music feature. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From:

I've followed the docs on how to configure musiconhold. I then added an extension to test it like this: exten => 6601,1,WaitMusicOnHold(30) And when I dial that extension I do hear something for 30 seconds - but it is not what I'd call music... it sounds more like the sound effects from a scifi flick - now and then it sounds like jail cell doors closing and echoing. Kinda cool but

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 All, First of all a quick thanks to everyone that has provided me with hints and tips over the past few days. I'm still experiencing problems with the playback of MP3s. The MP3 files will playback but they suffer from "stuttering". mpg123 is installed and plays back the file without problem via the desktop speakers. (It is definitely mpg123 installed, and not mpg321) The

Hi All, I have just compiled the newest version of mpg123 on a RedHat 9.0 system (mpg321 has not been installed) and I am using the newest CVS version of asterisk. Whenever I place any mp3 files in the /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/ directory, Asterisk crashes a horrible fiery death. If mp3s exist in that directory, then I can't even start Asterisk. If I start it without files then copy

I am trying to install mpg321 on another box. But there is no default libao driver on that sysytem, it has a soundblaster card, supported by the kernel directly. Never used OSS or ALSA on that system, so I wonder is it possible to do without OSS or ALSA . The libao documentation does not talk about kernel drivers, so I wonder how to get it work. Any ideas? Arne

Hi. I'm trying to get plugger to work with ogg123 and it does - sort of. No matter what the song is, it plays 24 seconds of the song and then dies. Same spot every time - I've tried with a short song (Janis Joplin Mercedes Benz) and a long song (Cracker Eurotrash Girl). I have this as the mime identification in the plugger rc file: audio/ogg: ogg: Vorbis Ogg audio application/x-ogg: ogg:
