please ignore my last question Anthony, on looking again I realise that the sched_api accepts a UUID that will remove the sched_api when that channel hangsup :)

thanks

Hi Bote & Anthony,

thanks for your suggestions.

Bote, the file location is fine as when I add one of the caller's UUID to the sched_broadcast the file plays (though only to that caller).  The + is not needed as the file should be repeated every x seconds during the call (5 is just an example).  I guess I was clutching at straws that the sched_broadcast would work in the same way with conferences as it does with individual channels :)

Anthony,
funnily enough, I have just stumbled across sched_api and have managed to get that to work in the same way you suggest.  Though are you able to suggest a way of cancelling the api execute when the conference is ended?  

I would like to have the file play every 3 minutes, which can be achieved by using sched_api 180 conference testconf /tmp/test.wav.
This works fine all the time the conference is live, but when all parties leave (or in my case the user with the endconf flag leaves) the api is still trying to execute, and obviously fails.

thanks again

thanks
Matt

It might be informative to set the CLI to /log 7 for maximum debug detail and set up a test conference.

 

My first guess is that FS can’t find your audio file due to looking in a different path, so specify an absolute path for testing to it to be sure. But if it plays for one conferee then that might not be the trouble.

 

Then again, per

https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_dptools:+sched+broadcast

 

it looks like you must append ‘aleg’, ‘bleg’, or ‘both’ to that command to tell it where the audio should be sent. You should test these to discover which one works for the conference module since it says ‘bleg’ really means “the other leg” so experimentation is in order.

 

Also, I think you need a plus sign in front of the 5 in your example to mean “5 seconds from now”.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Bote

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] schedule Broadcast into a conference

 

Hi,

 

 

I am wondering if there is an API command that will allow me to schedule a broadcast into a conference?

 

I have tried the following:

sched_broadcast 5 UUID playback::tmp/test.wav

 

I have tried replacing the UUID with the conference UUID and no file plays (though the broadcast shows as being scheduled).  

I have also tried replacing UUID with one of the caller's UUID, the file does play but only to that one caller and not all callers.

 

 

 

many thanks

Matt
