[Asterisk-Users] Using manager interface to play aanouncmentsin a MeetMe

[Dan Austin]

I've run into a snag.  I make extensive use of dynamic conferences
and thought it would be a no-brainer to pass the conference number
with the manager interface.  Looking at the wiki and sample code,
I thought I had it right, but no joy.

PHP manager call-
$res = $as->connect();
if (!$res){ echo 'Error connection to the manager!'; exit();}
$res = $as->send_request('Originate', array('Channel' =>
'Local/9998 at mm-announce', 'Context' => 'mm-announce', 'Exten' => '9999',
'Priority' => '1', 'Variable' => 'confNo=$confNo'));
$res = $as->disconnect();

extensions.conf-
 
[mm-announce]
exten => 9998,1,Answer
exten => 9998,2,noop,${confNo} ;to test, it was meetme(${confNo})
exten => 9998,3,Hangup

exten => 9999,1,Answer
exten => 9999,2,Playback(this-conf-will-end-in-5-minutes)
exten => 9999,3,Hangup

Console output-
  == Manager 'MeetMe' logged on from 127.0.0.1
    -- Executing Answer("Local/9998 at mm-announce-6b36,2", "") in new
stack
    -- Executing NoOp("Local/9998 at mm-announce-6b36,2", "") in new stack
    -- Executing Hangup("Local/9998 at mm-announce-6b36,2", "") in new
stack
    -- Executing Answer("Local/9998 at mm-announce-6b36,1", "") in new
stack
    -- Executing Playback("Local/9998 at mm-announce-6b36,1",
"this-conf-will-end-in-5-minutes") in new stack
    -- Playing 'this-conf-will-end-in-5-minutes' (language 'en')
  == Manager 'MeetMe' logged off from 127.0.0.1

So it appears that my variable ${confNo} is not being set, or at least
honored. 

Any thoughts?

Hello,

Here's jsut a simple manager Action to send, make sure that you have an
extension set up to play the message(exten => 1234,1,Playback(file)) and
that's the extension that will be called from the meetme room. Also,
make
sure that that extension calls in to the meetme room extension with the
'q'
flag so that noone hears the welcome and leaving tone.

exten => 1234,1,Answer
exten => 1234,2,Playback(out_of_time)
exten => 1234,3,Hangup


Action: Originate
Channel: Local/78600051 at default
Context: default
Exten: 1234
Priority: 1


where 78600051 is the exten to get to your meetme room.

Let me know if you have any questions,

MATT---

A sample would be great.  I'm hoping that the Official MeetMe2
will have provisions for this, but until then I'll have a
fully functional scheduler.

just create an extension that plays the message and hangs up and use the
manager interface to drop it into the meetme room.

Let me know if you would like an example and I'll whip one up.

We do this kind of thing in astGUIclient to play DTMF tones
automatically in
meetme rooms.

I am wrapping up a PHP addon script to my scheduling
framework and have it properly tracking and closing
conferences.

I need to play an announcement into the room that the
conference will end soon.  I haven't found a great way
to do that.  One way that I have thought of, but would
like to avoid is adding a Playback command to the 
MeetMeAdmin commands.

If anyone knowns of another way, I would be delighted.

Dan
