[asterisk-users] Switching between Music on Hold streams. [13.8.2]

[Dovid Bender]

Michael,

What you do is you dial another context and then use the G option in the dial string. So something like this.

[radio-main]
Exten => s,1,answer
Exten => s,2,Background(play-menu)
Exten => s,3,waitexten
Exten => S,4,Goto(s,2)

Exten => 1,1,Dial(Local/CNN at play-radio)
Exten => 1,2,Goto(s,2)

Exten => 2,1,Dial(Local/NPR at play-radio)
Exten => 2,2,Goro(s,2)

[play-radio]
Exten => _[A-Z].,1,Answer
Exten => _[A-Z].,2,Musiconhold(${EXTEN})


Regards,

Dovid

Subject: [asterisk-users] Switching between Music on Hold streams. [13.8.2]

I'd like multiple people to be able to dial in and listen to various
live radio streams.

I was told that the correct resource-friendly way would be to setup a
MoH class, and then select that from the dialplan.

This works well, but how do I switch between streams?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from previous similar questions a
few years ago it seems like once you've entered a MoH class, there is
no exit.

But might there be some trick involved merged or bridged calls, or
chan_spy or something, so that callers could quickly switch between 3
streams with a keypress?

Thank you!
