Fred, A glimmer of hope!
What version of mpg123 do you have running? I am guessing that you control the bitrate on your internal Shoutcast server, is that right?

Solution: One stream that all users connect to - giving dynamic hold music (tried and tested in A1.0x using mpg123 with some success, and Icecast or Slimserver or Shoutcast) Format_MP3 doesn't seem to stream, and the wiki is wrong about streamplayer being used to play streams, as it is only used to play raw TCP streams. There are many questions in forums on the web with no answers about how to solve this dilemma, How do you get users connected to a constantly-changing stream of music instead of streams starting from the beginning (regardless of whether Linux counts them as one stream or not where the processor is concerned)? Hopefully, at the end of this thread, I will have enough information to go back to these web-forums and post the answer. To get it started - here is what I have tried that hasn't worked. In most all cases the response is "Music on hold started", immediately followed by "Music on hold stopped" with no sound in any case. ;[classes] ;mode=custom ;application=/usr/bin/streamplayer 194.158.114.67 8000 ;format=ulaw ----------- Straight From The Music On Hold Wiki ;default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3-dummy -@,http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=7733&filename=playlist.pls ----------- From the Nerd Vittles Tutorial with the -@ added because mpg123 seemed to ask for it since the file was a .pls ;default => mp3:http://127.0.0.1:9000/stream.mp3 ---------- From a forum of someone using mpg123 to stream SlimServer (installed mpg123 v0.60 with no success here) [default] mode=files directory= /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3-dummy,http://127.0.0.1:9000/stream.mp3 ---------- Tried a 1.2 format ;default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3-dummy,http://193.251.154.243:8000/ ---------- Thought maybe it was SlimServer - so tried to stream the top Shoutcast station ;default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3-dummy,http://127.0.0.1:9000/stream.mp3 ---------- Tried to stream Slimserver using the old format Thank you in advance - I have been at this for a week now.
