[asterisk-users] Re: Background + Dial

[Chris Earle]

Hmm...I have just noticed this issue as well

I want the background command to play soundfiles while the dialplan moves on
and is dialing a number of zap channels etc...

It plays, but essentially ends up being no different than Playback() ....

I note now before posting this, that the Background is intended to ALLOW
caller input (as in an IVR) while sound is playing ............ I guess I am
confused as to the Background command's purpose ...

Any ideas for what I want to do ?

Thanks for your reply,

But I want to have an interactive menu, not just a music.
So, the customer can have information menu while he's
waiting the call is answer.
I'dont now if it's possible with MoH.

Thanks a lot

Hi GL

Pls. config MOH and use Dial command with "m" option.
This will allow you execute Dial command while providing
Music in the
background.

Hope it help

Hi everybody,

I try this :

[incoming_from_fxo_card]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Background(filename)
exten => s,3,Dial($(INTERNAL_SIP_TEL))

But * wait the file is finish before make Dial to SIP channel.


Background(filename)  (from voip-info.org) => Starts playing
a given sound
file, but immediately returns, permitting the sound file to
play in the
background while the next commands (if any) execute.

I want to Dial a SIP channel while playing sound and waiting
for a digit
from a ZAP channel. In other words, i want to make a
interactive MoH while
waiting for the SIP channel answer.
Is it possible?

Thanks a lot and excuse me for my poor english (I'll fix
this in few
months).

GL
