[asterisk-users] app_conference not working for me

[Steve Edwards]

I'm having trouble getting app_conference to work and I'm feeling
pretty clueless right know.

With no flags, it doesn't exit when I press '#.'

With flags passed as "d," it just ignores '#.'

With flags passed as "MTV," it crashes Asterisk when I press '#.'

Any clues would be appreciated :)

Here's how I'm invoking conference:

         exten = *,n,                    conference(test)

or

         exten = *,n,                    conference(test|d)

or

         exten = *,n,                    conference(test|MTV)

Here's the console output with no flags:

     -- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from a.b.c.d:
        > requested format = ulaw,
        > requested prefs = (),
        > actual format = ulaw,
        > host prefs = (ulaw),
        > priority = mine
