[asterisk-users] Define custom vm-login sound file per VM context?

[Danny Nicholas]

There was a "kludgy" solution posted a while back that might work for you.
Since Asterisk is "multi-lingual" you could do this

Exten => _X.,123,Set(CHANNEL(language)=fr)

Exten => _X.,124,Voicemailmain()

 

This assumes you aren't using fr(French).  Just copy
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr and record your
alternate instructions in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr/vm-login.gsm (or
whatever codec you are using).  Using this work-around you could have as
many greetings as you can specify "languages" for.

Danny,

 

 This seems to be a solution for sending people to leave a voicemail, I need
a solution for VoiceMailMain() when people call in to get their messages,
change greeting etc.

 

If I use the s option with VoiceMailMain it just skips checking the passcode
according to the docs.

 

Thanks for your help though, any similar ideas for VoiceMailMain?

 

I am playing the sound file I need before sending them to VoiceMailMain but
then Comedian Mail! plays right after of course.

Do 

Exten => _X.,123,playback(your-message)

Exten => _X.,123,voicemail(100,s)

 

Per the instructions, (100) plays the standard message, (100,b) plays busy
(100,u) plays unavailable and (100,s) plays nothing (skip instructions).

Is it possible to define a customize the which sound file is played when I
send a caller to VoiceMailMain()?

 

By default the sound file is vm-login.<codec>.

 

Is there a way to specify which sound file is played per context or some
other way to play a different sound file in place of vm-login?

 

I have already replaced the default file and named it the same vm-login.x
but still I am only able to play one file, not a different file depending on
the VM context I send the caller to.

 

I am sure someone has figured this out so, any shortcut to keep me from
frying my brain on this would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
