<div>Hi All,<br><br>I have a problem and I'm not sure if a solution is possible without using the asterisk testing code.<br><br>I am developing a volunteer translation service that users can dial into. I have a list of volunteer translators cell phone numbers stored in a mysql database along with times that they have volunteered to act as translators. That I pull from using some perl AGI scripts.
<br><br>A user calls, I ask which language they need help/translation with, then I put the users into a meetme conference while I call translators and play them a message asking if they're available at this time. They can refuse or accept the call.
<br><br>Once I get a translator that has accepted the call I connect the translator as an administrator to the meetme conference that is holding the user that is listening to music on hold.<br><br>That is all working quite well with the Dialplan and AGI scripts I have set up.
<br><br>Problems happen when the translator drops the call midway through the conversation. i.e. Losing cell phone service.<br><br>When that happens I need a way to play a message to the user to let them know that the translator has been lost and we're looking for a new one.
<br><br>I then need to put back the music on hold, then run deadagi scripts to find a new translator to connect to the meetme conference to help out the user.<br><br>What is currently happening is that the user is left in the conference alone forever listening to MOH.
<br><br>I think there are two ways to do this, but I can't find out how to do either from any documentation I've found.<br><br>1. Break the user out of the meetme conf and back into the dialplan.<br> - If I kick them from the conference they are immediately hung up on and I don't know how to stop this from happening.
<br> - There is function that is available in Asterisk 1.4 called ManagerRedirect that seems like it could do this for me, but i'd rather not try to integrate this into 1.2.10 because I fear breaking too many other things and running
1.4 (testing) just isn't an option at this time.<br>(details here: <a title="http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6508" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6508" target="_blank">
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6508</a>)<br><br>2. Play a message into the conference<br> - Can I join a new pseudo channel that I've created to a meetme conf that plays a message? Does anyone know how to do this? <br>
- Can I override the MOH and stream a recorded message into the conference with only the single user in the meetme conf?<br><br>Any help/ideas are appreciated.<br><br>Cheers,</div>
