Hey guys,

 

maybe I am wrong but I am bit confused about music-on-hold (MOH) and valet_park-application, executed from the dialplan.

 

The problem in short: valet_park starts music-on-hold on remote-party AFTER parking-slot-annoucement not BEFORE.

 

 

The problem in detail:

 

I am using the valet_park-application to park (park in) an established call in order to pickup (park out) the call later from another phone. I do this by calling #4 during call (bind_digit_action) and all works fine.

 

FreeSWITCH announces me the parking-slot. While FreeSWITCH is doing this, the remote-party gets immediately the “hold_music”. In my case, this is a simple wav-file and no endless-loop-music, because the wav-file annouces “Your connection is hold” and this text has always start from the beginning of the file (see below).

 

When the parking-slot-application has finished the parking-slot-annoucement, it starts again the MOH on the remote-party-leg. So my MOH starts twice and that’s the problem.

 

 

As i figured out, the “first” playback has nothing to do with valet_park itself, it is just the MOH when the remote-party-leg is “on-hold”. The “second” playback is originated by valet_park.

 

 

Any solutions?

Here are my exzerpts from the dialplan:

 

hold_music=$${sounds_dir}/de/de/marilda/generic/hold.wav

 

 

<action application="bind_digit_action" data="feature-digits,#4,exec:execute_extension,park-in XML features,both,self"/>

 

 

<extension name="park-in">

    <condition field="${destination_number}" expression="^park-in$">

        <action application="answer"/>

        <action application="valet_park" data="parking-slots auto in 800 899"/>

    </condition>

</extension>
