[asterisk-users] Define custom vm-login sound file per VM context?

Tue Feb 21 12:19:54 CST 2012

If I recall correctly, it does have to be a "real" country and a two-letter
code, but that still gives you hundreds of variants for this kludge.

Wow, that makes me wonder if I could do something like:

Set(CHANNEL(language)=Cust327)

Then create a "Language" folder named Cust327 and have it just work. Weee...
:-)

Of course that leads me to think that I could have whole sets of custom
sounds for all of Asterisk based on setting this Language bit on the way in.

Guess this would all work as long as there is not some requirement in
Asterisk that a language setting must be a real country/language code and
not something made up.

There was a "kludgy" solution posted a while back that might work for you.
Since Asterisk is "multi-lingual" you could do this

Exten => _X.,123,Set(CHANNEL(language)=fr)

Exten => _X.,124,Voicemailmain()

This assumes you aren't using fr(French).  Just copy
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr and record your
alternate instructions in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr/vm-login.gsm (or
whatever codec you are using).  Using this work-around you could have as
many greetings as you can specify "languages" for.

Danny,

 This seems to be a solution for sending people to leave a voicemail, I need
a solution for VoiceMailMain() when people call in to get their messages,
change greeting etc.

If I use the s option with VoiceMailMain it just skips checking the passcode
according to the docs.

Thanks for your help though, any similar ideas for VoiceMailMain?

I am playing the sound file I need before sending them to VoiceMailMain but
then Comedian Mail! plays right after of course.

I believe this is what you want.  Instead of this

Exten => _X.,123,Voicemail(100)

Do 

Exten => _X.,123,playback(your-message)

Exten => _X.,123,voicemail(100,s)

Per the instructions, (100) plays the standard message, (100,b) plays busy
(100,u) plays unavailable and (100,s) plays nothing (skip instructions).

Is it possible to define a customize the which sound file is played when I
send a caller to VoiceMailMain()?

By default the sound file is vm-login.<codec>.

Is there a way to specify which sound file is played per context or some
other way to play a different sound file in place of vm-login?

I have already replaced the default file and named it the same vm-login.x
but still I am only able to play one file, not a different file depending on
the VM context I send the caller to.

I am sure someone has figured this out so, any shortcut to keep me from
frying my brain on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!
