[Freeswitch-users] How to play a prompt to an ongoing conference?

[David Swardstrom]

The following command is the right command: 
conference <confname> play <path to file>

In JavaScript, the following version of this commanhd should work:
apiExecute("conference", confname+" play "+Filename);


One word of warning. 
If you use play to a session, it normally waits until it is done.
As I understand it, the above command does not wait.

I had to know when it was done, but since I also had to play it
to a channel, I decided that they would complete at the same time.

There is a separate "conference <> stop" command.

I haven't seen anything to suggest a way to determine if something is
still playing or recording. 
I know recording takes up slots in the conference and I suspect 
that play would also. However, they aren't reported on in a list.

Perhaps there should be another version of list, one that reports
on the auxiliary channels.
