[Asterisk-Users] MusicOnHold and MP3Player not triggering "answer"

[Joseph Finley]

I used a symbolic link and it works just fine for me.

Hello Mickey,

   I had a similar problem with the mp3 functions a while back, but I
handled it off list, but since you're having the same issue, here's how I
noted to fix it:

1.   Make sure you have mpg123 in /usr/bin.  Symbolic links will NOT work,
and it has to be the REAL mpg123.

2.   Make sure that the system has already passed the Answer call for the
extension. For example:

exten => 69,1,Wait(5)
exten => 69,2,Answer
exten => 69,3,MP3Player,/path/to/music.mp3

This example is the only way I found to make the mp3 player work.  I haven't
been able to test fully the music on hold functionality, as my system is'nt
fully functional yet, and I don't have other clients to test with.

-Josh
