Sure I did, See the code in the initial posting. As I realized, I need to create a bridge to connect the existing session with the new one. I tried the following code: session:execute("bridge", "{originate_timeout=20,origination_caller_id_number=6006,origination_caller_id_name=Peter ,ringback=/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/music/8000/ponce-preludio-in-e-major.wav}sofia/192.168.1.52/1004"); It places the call (the destination phone rings), but does not play anything back. There is something else I am missing. PV Chris Burns wrote:

Using some hints, that Mike sent me, I found the answer to my question #2.

I found an answer to question 2 local session1 = freeswitch.Session("{originate_timeout=20}sofia/192.168.1.52/1004"); This will be trying to connect fo 20 seconds

HOwever, when I place a call like that, there is a silence in the caller handset. I was trying to play some music on hold (question #1 and #3) using the following syntax, but that did not work

local session1 = freeswitch.Session( "{originate_timeout=20,

ringback=/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/music/8000/ponce-preludio-in-e-major. wav}sofia/192.168.1.52/1004");

Any solutions? PV

Hi Guys, Here is the task I need your help with.

The feature I am trying to build is called 'Find Me" or 'Follow Me'. When the call comes in, I am trying the call the predefined list of numbers in sequence, and if none answers, I am going into voice receiving mode.

I am using the lua language.

Here is what I am doing (pseudo code) I'll be asking the question just in the code

session:answer();

playPrompt('transfer_greeting');

next_number = getNextNumber();

-- Question #1: -- I am about to start a new session. -- However, at this point I'd like to play some moho (music on hold) for the existing one

-- Creating a new session. The destination phone start ringing local session1 = freeswitch.Session("sofia/192.168.1.52/" .. next_number ); -- Question #2: -- How could I specify the number of rings to wait before session answers? Or maybe the timeout

if( session1:ready() == true ) then -- Question #3 -- Session answered. At this point I need to stop the music on hold. How? -- Now I need to join the existing session with the newly created one -- there is a session:transfer method, but I can't see how I can use it here else playPrompt("Can't find. Please leave a message"); doReceiveMessage()' end

Has anyone worked on that feature before. I would appreciate all possible solutions and explanations. Thank you in advance.
