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

Hi, I have P4 2.8 HT machine with Asterisk. I spot 3 processes of mpg321 taking 20% of CPU each even when no call is made to Asterisk or any other PBX activity is on ? Is this behaviour normal ? Regards, Robert.

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

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,

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,

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

I can't seem to get musiconhold to work. I'm running asterisk on a RH9 box, I have the mpg123 package installed. In my zapata.conf file I have the line MusicOnHold=default . In my musiconhold.conf file, in the classes section I uncommented default and loud. In my extensions.conf file I have a set musiconhold line. However if I get a call and I either put it on hold or hit flash

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

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

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:

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

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.

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

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

Trying to test the music on hold function and can't seem to get it to work. If anyone has it running, could you give me a clue? (I have googled and found lots of questions, but no real suggestions.) I downloaded and installed the mpg123 package. From the RH9 console I can start the executable and hear the music via the speakers. The executable is located in /usr/bin. (That works!) I set the

Hi Users, I have a problem with some of my mp3 files. they crash the system (Asterisk 1.6.2.14 on a x86_64 running Fedora 13 ) when it tries to play them. Unfortunately the logs do not give me a clear fault or cause of crash but i can clearly see that ts because of the MP3 files. Its the way some files are encoded. Is there a way I can make it skip the files that can be played? I use the
