Re: [asterisk-users] Playing audio to bridged channels using ControlPlayBack
One thing that concerns me is that this post is from 2009, even though the newest version of the app on Sourceforge is up to date. I have a customer who has been using a conference server that I built for him using app_konference for several years now and he routinely runs conferences with anywhere from 10 – 125 active users. The ultimate goal is several hundred concurrent users and I can see that happening with this app. Much of the functionality comes from a PERL script that runs as a background daemon. I think that’s a plus, because I can easily add additional features by modifying the script. Since I knew I would be making a lot of modifications to the daemon script, I ended up refactoring the whole thing. Write me if you want a copy. In my opinion, if you are going to use app_konference, there is no need to use ControlPlayBack since the script will do that for you. Once of the drawbacks is that the discussion group is pretty much dead, so if you run into a problem, there's really nowhere to go. Overall, I think this is a good application. I hope this helps.

Much of the reviews indicate that appkonference is an over-kill for an audio as its main functionality is with video. Going past that.

The problem with this is as soon as the bridge is created the audio stops. I can provide the dialplan details, if anyone is interested. Your help is appreciated.

Regards; John V. Hi John Going through App Konference sources, the following seemed interesting 1) the sounds are packaged in the module--specifically asterikast/audio/join.wav and asterikast/audio/leave.wav (I would like to choose the sound file to play dynamically) 2)the sound controls are mute/unmute, volume up/down (I would like forwarding, pause, etc. that are available with ControlPlayBack) 3)the sound files are selectively played to a channel (unlike multicasting) Is it the listener.pl the daemon script you refer to? A cursory glance at it shows that it is possible to call any command supported by the konference/cli.c. Could you tell me what customizations you have made? I would like, of course, to see your version of the script. Please either post in this thread or send me the script, whichever is easier. My email address is in the header. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.
