You could use mod_fifo with the chimelist configured and avoid trying to replicate this manually.<br><br>you can certainly do it from ESL because you have a socket connection to the channel and all the commands you send will be in the background.<br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hi Anthony,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the quick and detailed reply.</div><div><br></div><div>Could i pick your brain on the last remark, what i'd like to do is:</div><div><br></div>
<div>- play a configurable time of hold music (30 seconds in the example) but this will be a variable later</div><div>- play a message (and optionally detect dtmf if needed)</div><div>- if no dtmf then continue music</div>
<div><br></div><div>and loop the above.</div><div><br></div><div>So basically creating an inbound holding point for people to wait before their call is answered, but give them the option to leave the 'queue' to direct them else where.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Would in the async ESL i be able to stop the stream of music or would i need to do a bridge to local/9999 and unbridge to continue when i want to? Would ESL be the best way to </div><div>do this ?</div>

<br>you have 2 choices:<br><br>1) use the socket app in async mode and external scripts with an ESL plugin.<br>2) instead of executing the script on the session launch a script in a sep thread with the current uuid<br> ad an argument then execute park and let the script control the channel remotely<br>
<br>Even better reconsider what you want to do and avoid working against the grain of how the existing architecture is flowing and you will have the best results.<br> <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Tjardick van der Kraan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tjardick@vanderkraan.net" target="_blank">tjardick@vanderkraan.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

on hold) to be 'backgrounded':<br> <br> -- Loop while the call is active<br> while (session:ready() == true) do<br> -- do something here<br> session:execute("playback", moh)<br> freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO","Started music on hold.\n");<br>
-- do some stuff while playing music<br> session:sleep(30000);<br> -- Maybe we need a way to stop music or playback will stop<br> automatically?<br> session:execute("playback", "/sounds/we_will_answer_asap.wav")<br>
freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO","Play'ed announcement.\n");<br> end<br> <br> "ofcourse" currently the only thin that happens is the music and my<br> loop does not continue.<br> Is there a way to start/stop music in the background?<br>
<br> I guess in Asterisk language i will need the command StartMusicOnHold...<br> <br> Thanks for any suggestions.<br> <br> Regards,<br> <br> Tj<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> FreeSWITCH-users mailing list<br>
