How to play sound file at callee side?

Hi all,

I have one query that if I want one audio file to be played to called party then what should I do in asterisk dialplan.

I have two users at asterisk i.e 789 and 123.
If 789 user makes call to 123, then I want asterisk should play a sound file when 123 accepts the call.

I wrote these lines in dialplan for 123 :

exten => 123,1,System(echo 'testing asterisk server for speech' | /usr/bin/text2wave -scale 1.5 -F 8000 -o /home/test_asterisk.ulaw -otype ulaw)
exten => 123,2,Playback(/home/test_asterisk)

so when i call 123,
this sound file gets created and gets played to 789.
but i want this file to get played to called party, 123.

How should i do this?
what changes required in dialplan?

Please help.
Regards,
Tarun.

Hi

Basicly you have to use the applicationmap option in features.conf and setup an appliction to do this.

One issue with this method is that the caller wont know whrn the message has ended they will just get the callee back

Hi,

Thanks for replying.
caller = 789
callee = 123
As u said, do it through applicationmap in features.conf
I added these lines in features.conf :

[applicationmap]
Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=hangup#play#testfeature)
testfeature => *9,peer,Playback,tt-monkeys

and in extensions.conf, i made follwong dialplan :
exten => 123,1,Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=testfeature)
exten => 123,2,Dial(SIP/123)

I think with these changes, when i dial 123,
on accepting call at 123, user 123 should hear tt-monkeys sound file.
But, it doesnt work. No voice at callee 123.
Have i made correct changes ?

[applicationmap]
Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=hangup#play#testfeature)
testfeature => *9,callee,Playback,tt-monkeys


and in extensions.conf, i made follwong dialplan :
exten => 123,1,Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=testfeature)
exten => 123,2,Dial(SIP/123)

then dial *9

As u said,
dial *9,

I dial 123 user from 789 user, then 123 is ringing,

Hi

Ok you want

789 calls 123
123 answers
789 presses *9
123 heres message

Is that correct ?

Ian

Hi ian,

Thanks for replying.
That was correct upto some extent.

Yes, i just wanted callee 123 hears sound file,

i thought 123 would press *9 instead of 789,

I think 123 callee should press *9 after answering call from 789 to listen sound file.

Please help,
what to do, what changes do i need to make that working.

I waited whole day and side by side searched on net. But no information. jst specified usage of [applicationmap].

Waiting for response

Hi all,

I found option in dial() that is working:
A(x) : announce sound file where x is sound file.

It is used as :
exten=>123,1,Dial(SIP/123,20,A(tt-monkeys))

it played tt-monkeys sound file when 123 is called and is answered.

Thank you all.
