[Asterisk-Users] Streaming Music On Hold

[Douglas Garstang]

Thanks. I got it working. Yay.

Now, it seems that Asterisk is very fussy with the streams. A lot don't work, especially when the URL ends in something.pls. Anyone know if that's true? Is Asterisk's support of this still pretty limited?

Doug.

Try this:

musiconhold.conf:

[stream2]
mode=mp3
directory=http://pubint.ic.llnwd.net/stream/pubint_wnpr


extensions.conf:

exten => 1234,1,Answer
exten => 1234,2,MusicOnHold(stream2)
exten => 1234,3,Hangup
