 Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2014 5:09 pm Post subject: [asterisk-users] Questions on musiconhold.conf custom mode |
 |
|
Hello,
I need to play some musiconhold content starting at a random duration
from the start.
Thanks to mode=custom option and either madplay or mpg123 programs, I
could successfully get what I was after on a Debian Wheezy system.
Now I realized sox version on my target system (Debian Squeeze) cannot
convert to MP3 format.
So I'm looking after workarounds.
0. I've read many mpg123 or madplay examples. All of them are
clutered with option converting MP3 input file into an appropriate
format that Asterisk requires for music on hold.
What is the name of this appropriate format ? sln ? wav ?
1. Is there a player like mpg123, that can repeat content in
appropriate format (see above) to stdout but can read from anything
different from MP3 ?
2. Is there an option on Squeeze to convert audio files to MP3
(reverse coversion works OK).
3. Which options could I have for such custom MOH, if I was building
on system without g729 transaltion capabilites ans with g729-only SIP
trunks or phones ?
Regards

Is the gsm-format an option for you? So you may convert your moh-File to
gsm:
sox YouWavFile.wav -r 8000 -c1 MohFile.gsm
If you really need mp3 you have to compile sox with mp3-support by
yourself OR maybe this is a solution on Debian:

Hi Thorsten,
Yes gsm-format is an option for me but how can you play such gsm file as MOH ?
If I'm not mistaken, both madplay or mpg123 would only play MP3 files
(I've not tested with other formats, yet).
I could successfully play a RAW file with cat but cat has no repeat
option, so I still have to find something else anyway.
Yes, you're correct.
I'll suggest my customer a Wheezy upgrade.

When your musiconhold.conf looks like that ...
---- cut -----
[general]
[default]
mode=files
directory=moh
[your_moh_class]
mode=files
directory=/your/path/to/your/moh/files
---- cut -----
... then you can put any supported file format into the specified
directory. GSM is only one option. Asterisk will take the best (meaning
"cheapest") file format availble in this directory.

Yes this is true but when you need your MOH to start randomly (ie not
start from the very start but from anywhere within your MOH file), you
need to switch to custom mode and customize application parameter.
In this specific case, I didn't find many options avoiding MP3 files.
