[Asterisk-Users] Advanced conference features, meetme2?

[C. Tomlinson]

Hi,

Sorry, I relaise I could run head but didn't want to move across yet.

I have found documentation on meetme fairly lacking; hence my n00bish
questions. I realize you can get people to enter the same conferences but
with different options; however I got stumped on a couple of things:

Wiki informs me that agi scripts only work over Zap; I am using IAX or SIP'
so I didn't look much further into them,

I am unsure how meetme handles dtmf tones; my quick test didn't seem to
work; namely sending a dtmf tone into a meetme conference DIDN'T send it to
another extensions...

I couldn't find, for example, a variable containing the current conference
name.

If I had those I agree it would be simple in the dialplan; just listen for a
key eg 2, then when pressed kick user from conference, and immediately
rejoin using a mute option, rejoining the same conference as the dialplan
line got its info from the variable.

Care to share any more infor e.g. on your AGI?

Thanks

C

Or you can run cvs head. It is slated to become the next stable release 
not too far out. With a bit of testing it may be safe enough for your 
needs. Or not. :)

All the entrants do not have to use the same meetme command. We can have a 
mix of people entering muted/non-muted depending on their authorization. 
That's what the dialplan is there for.

Actually, we do it through an agi now, but it used to be done in the 
dialplan itself. Now all the database stuff and all the prompts are 
handled through the agi.

I think it is a mistake to add a lot of features to all the applications. 
Quite a few of these could have been implemented using the dialplan and a 
few new primitives.
