maybe this helps:

also, in mod_local_stream, you can point to a playlist file, and then update the playlist without reconfiguring FreeSWITCH.

but I think it's still easier to make a streaming server and send looped user files from there

This sounds even more complicated work around since users can upload their custom MOH wave files.

I was wondering if there is a proper way to do this. I do have alternative workarounds such as playing the same file a number of times in a file string or having the playback in a while loop.

Putting a leg of a call on hold with MOH sounds a simple and straightforward requirement. There should be a way.

ok, then make an mp3 streaming server and use mod_shoutcast to play the stream

This won't work for my scenario. The subscribers in my environment can upload their own custom music files and I won't be able to create playlists and change configuration files for every user. 

I just need to play one .wav file in a loop.

Thanks.

doesn't this article explain exactly that?

You can define your own playlist and use it in "playback" application, same way as you do with individual files.

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Playback in a loop

I'm using bind_digit_action to detect certain key strokes during a call. When the b-leg presses a certain key combination, I would like to put the a-leg on hold and play some prompts for the b-leg to provide some in call features such as call transfer.

I use playback on the a-leg and seems to do the trick, but the problem is that I want to loop through the music file. I'm using Perl and ESL.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Ali Pey

I was trying to use playback since playback is similar to park as I understand.

If you get the call on actual hold, you can use actual hold music like a mod_local_stream that loops.  How are you wanting to initiate this?
