similar to: MPG123 with Asterisk on debian (one of our interesting experiences)

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

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

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

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

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

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,

Has anyone successfully compiled mpg123 in the 1.0.x or 1.2beta1 distributions (I'm running FC3 linux on an Opteron 2 processor system)? Are there any patches out there to make it work? gcc -DI386_ASSEM -DPENTIUM_OPT -DREAL_IS_FLOAT -DLINUX - DREAD_MMAP -DOSS -DTERM_CONTROL -Wall -O2 - m486 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-all- loops

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

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

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 have Asterisk 1.0.5-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC5 up and running. Everything seems to be running fine but after some time asterisk just goes crazy (even withouth any incoming or outgoing call activity perviously). If I leave the box up for some time * goes haywire and the console is flooded with this message: Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe At that time I can see that there

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

as i am trying to use asterisk and install my newly purchased ( got it yesterday) digium cards. i am following the very detail steps of http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm. but one thing did not seems right so i wanted to let enveyone know the page says: Once compiled make sure there is a copy in /usr/bin/mpg123 i think the location is /usr/local/bin/mpg123

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 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

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

I have searching the forums here on how to get Music On Hold working and I have been able to get * to accept a command for MusicOnHold and for Meetme after loading the ztdummy module. I used the default config for /etc/zaptel.conf since I saw no guidance on this. My problem now is that when I activate MusicOnHold, the sample music file sounds very slow and distorted. My best guess is that it is

Anyone have anything on this? (I'm sure someone will complain about me bringing it up again, chill out...) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan k.

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'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
