[asterisk-dev] [BOUNTY] Confbridge feature

[John T. Bittner]

Hello,

Looking for the confbridge to have the ability to dial out directly.

When the first caller joins the bridge, the application will look at the bridge profile and if it sees something like
Dial=PJSIP/101&PJSIP/102
Dialtimeout=30

It would then call out to all channels listed using the dial application and put them in the bridge.

Now I know what you're going to say, you can do this already with AMI or call files.
Yes, we can but here is where we hit a wall, Early video.

For video door devices that don't support early video, we put them in a conference bridge, then have a custom app that calls each video phone via AMI.
This works well, all the video phones get early video but when one phone answers the other phones still ring. In our custom app we watch for an answer and then force hang-up on all the other channels.

Now this works, but it's messy and sometimes gets hung up especially when calling a lot of phones or some of the devices that are called don't support early video.

We tried using AMI to dial all the phones at the same time via local channel but it does not pass the video through.
Another option would be for AMI to support multi-channels in originate.

I am looking for a better way to do this.

I will start this bounty at $800

If this project is more complicated please email me with your requirements.
