Topic: MOH - MP3's

[Teviot]

Hi All

I would like to try changing the MOH to some of my own choice of music instead of the default MOH that is installed with asterisk.

Have uploaded the mp3's and have found that asterisk reports format errors in the console with mp3's.  Do I need to change the file format of the mp3's to wav for is there another way of doing it?

Hi,
I just drop them under /var/lib/asterisk/moh/
I have no problems.

Best,

[Teviot]

I tried that and got this from the console.  I did remove the default MOH wav files to force the mp3 file

helps if you don't change the file locations first.  Fix the file locations and the mp3 play with no problems


I would also like to setup and extension that plays the music from the MOH directory

Anyone got any ideas?

From:

Just create a custom app which contains the following:

Code: [Select]

exten => 6000,1,Answer
exten => 6000,2,MusicOnHold()Change 6000 to what ever you want.

Thanks Lloyd

That works the I wanted it to.  I noticed from the link you put in that some people are streaming from the internet.  That sound interesting too.

But looking at the different parts involved in setting that up, it seem a little to much past my capabilities.

Can you or someone else talk me though the process

Your suggestion uses /usr/bin/mpg123.  I don't have that and not sure how to install it.  Would you mind giving me information on where to get it and how to install it please.
