Re: [Freeswitch-users] {Disarmed} Re: Originate call into conference - no early media

23 Apr 2012

      Michael, Anthony,

Cheers guys. Really great help and also stunned with the new var! I will 
probably c/o head this weekend to try it out.

I'm not that great on wikis (I've installed and set up MediaWiki for 
others but only ever added a couple of pages to it)  but I will try to 
make a start on at least updating the conference callout example page.

Cheers

Alex

Excellent description and cool new chan var.
Alex, this is definitely something you should put on the wiki. If you 
need any help please let me know. Don't forget that we have a template 
that you can use to add a channel variable:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Variable_skeleton
The rest of the documentation can go in 
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_loopback. For bonus points you can 
use the wiki {{:foo}} syntax to include the channel variable docs in 
the mod_loopback page w/o actually duplicating your work. See the main 
channel variables page for examples on how to do that.

I did not mean that the book would teach you about L16 on loopback but
    codecs and setting up calls.
    Since you said you cannot understand why there is no early media in
    your conference I thought you might benefit but studying the nuances
    of call origination.
As for loopback, if its important enough to you to get that ring
    sound, its really the only choice you have.
    I check and it's easy enough to add a patch to let you specify the
    initial codec so try out git HEAD and use the new variable
    loopback_initial_codec you can specify it in the originate string like
originate {loopback_initial_codec=L16@16000h}loopback/1234 4321
Transcoding fees may apply.
