Re: [Asterisk-Users] mpg123 issue and solution
I've submitted a patch to the bugtracker that adds additional support for the MAD player. Here is the link: http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0001365 Michael. Chris Maresca wrote: All, I've been setting up an Asterisk PBX over the past few days and I stumbled across a problem with mpg123 that I have not seen documented anywhere. If you put mp3 files into your mohmp3 directory and these files have ID3v2 tags, mpg123 will throw an error message Found new ID3 Header, regardless of the -q flag. This, in turn, will cause Asterisk to crash (yes), although it's a soft crash (exits cleanly). It took me forever to figure this out, since the default mp3 and everything else was working fine. And the lack of any meaningfull error messages made diagnosis even more difficult My work around was to open the file in WinAmp and remove the ID3 tags entirely. mpg123 and Asterisk were both happy and there was much rejoycing. It might be a good idea to move away from mpg123 as it is no longer supported and there are bound to be more problems like this. MAD seems to be what everyone is migrating to... At the very least, not hardcoding a player into the codebase would probably be a good idea (if it is hardcoded, I couldn't find a config file for it...). On a seperate note, if anyone is have problems registering SIP softphones, like the most excellent xTen X-Lite, try commenting out 'bindaddr' in sip.conf. That allowed me to register and get everything working. Finally, if anyone has any ideas about how to improve IAX voice quality, I'd be happy to hear them. Everything is hearable, but there are an awfull lot of clicks and pops in the background. The machine is a Celeron 500 with 128mb of RAM and Gentoo 1.4 (w/latest gentoo updates) and Asterisk 0.7.2. I'm the only one using the machine ATM and it's about 2 ft from my desk with a dedicated hub... There is no telephony hardware install currently. SIP quality seems slightly better, and I've tried almost every WinIAX client out there, they're all pretty much the same. I'm using the soundcard in my laptop and a Plantronics headset. Playback of the IVR prompts generally sounds good, but inter-client communication is noisy. Thx.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Maresca It might be a good idea to move away from mpg123 as it is no longer supported and there are bound to be more problems like this. MAD seems to be what everyone is migrating to... At the very least, not hardcoding a player into the codebase would probably be a good idea (if it is hardcoded, I couldn't find a config file for it...). The app is hard-coded. Take a look at res_musiconhold.c (in the res sub directory of the Asterisk source). At the vere least you can change the source and recompile if you want to use a different player app. -brian ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Hi! If you put mp3 files into your mohmp3 directory and these files have ID3v2 tags, mpg123 will throw an error message Found new ID3 Header, regardless of the -q flag.

MAD seems to be what everyone is migrating to... Indeed mpg123 is known to be the cause for many problems. Cheers, Philipp Finally, if anyone has any ideas about how to improve IAX voice quality, I'd be happy to hear them. Everything is hearable, but there are an awfull lot of clicks and pops in the background. This is probably due to the IAX software phone that you are using (and its underlying library). On * server to * server connections this shouldn't be the case (if yes: try to enable/disable the jitter buffer, see other mails here). -Philipp- ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] mpg123 issue and solution
Apperently this is only a problem with v59r of mpg123. Older version don't have a problem. Chris.
