[asterisk-users] AGI: blocking script until playback complete

[Danny Nicholas]

You don't state the Asterisk version you are running, but personal
experience tells me you'd better invest in some Rogaine if you're depending
on the built-in stuff from AGI for DTMF input.  I have personally wasted
weeks trying it.

Try passing escape character

 

GET DATA $filename $timeout $max_digits $escape_character

Greetings list,

I've done AGI scripting before, but in the past I've always wanted control
to be returned to the dialplan as soon as possible.

However, today I have a scenario where I want the script to remain running
during the playback of a file so that I can read DTMF at the end of
playback. However, doing this:

GET DATA en_welcome 5000 6

Results (correctly) in the following in the asterisk console:
   -- <SIP/a.b.c.d-dc027b50> Playing 'en_welcome' (language 'en')

But the AGI continues to run on after this point, not waiting for either the
sound file to be played, nor for the expected 6 DTMF digits.

Adding a simple 10 second sleep/wait to the AGI allows the sound file to be
successfully played back.

I'm sure I must be missing something very obvious, buy my google-fu is
failing me this afternoon.

Suggestions gratefully received :-)

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Chris
