[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: New addon anouncement - Incoming phone call display
I've just uploaded a new version of the docs and script that fixes the issues you reported. There's now a new option to control adding the zero to numbers. I've also added an option to log debug output to a file (it wasn't much use going to stdout!).

There is already a plugin for asterisk, but it is only for SlimServer 5.3. Get it here: http://www.dinplug.com/vmplugin/dev_overview.html Because I am using asterisk myself, I will bring it to 6.2 at some point if it is not done then, but first I like to make Max callerid display using ISDN.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll add the stuff about CSV_XS and the cli port to the docs. I hadn't realised I was running on a non-default port. Maybe it's changed since I started using SlimServer. I've noticed that my version appears to have stopped working over the last couple of days, but I haven't had time to work out why yet. However, please be warned: I think the modem might answer the call if SlimServer isn't running! Again, I haven't had time to look into this properly yet, but it's a nasty bug if it's true!

Server OS: CentOS 4.1 (Redhat Based) SlimServer: v.6.2.1 Clients: SliMP3's Only CallerID: United States First I needed to install Text::CSV_XS as it is not part of the standard CentOS distro. I did using the following command: Code: perl -MCPAN -e install Text::CSV_XS Next, it was having trouble connecting to the server when I tested the script. I noticed that you have a non-defualt port setup on your system (9023). I changed it to the Slim defualt of 9090 and the test displayed fine. Setting up mgetty and inittab: Entry for /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config: Code: # Calling Max's Script to pass CallerID info to Slimserver cnd-program /usr/local/sbin/cid.pl init-chat AT#CID=1 Entry for /ect/inittab: Code: # Put a getty on a modem line to monitor after two rings. # S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -n 2 -s 57600 ttyS1 I'll keep playing with it over the weekend. I'll let you know if I run into anything else.

US CallerID does not have a leading 0 (zero), it is displayed as ten digits. A call from (123)555-1212 would be displayed as 1235551212. I had to comment out the following part of your code: Code: # Add 0 on to front of any number that's missing it (Outlook likes to # strip leading zeros from numbers, assumedly so it can add the country # code at its leisure later on) # $fields[$i] =~ s/^([^0].*)/0$1/; Maybe you should add an option to the setup section asking if the users CallerID system requires the use of the leading zero to turn on and off that formatting section.max.spicer Wrote: Please be warned: I think the modem might answer the call if SlimServer isn't running!

My answering machine picked up after 4 rings. I turned that off too, and tried again. No pickup, just rang and rang...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: New addon anouncement - Incoming phone call display
I'll have to try this--I got callerID working with ncid (http://ncid.sourceforge.net/) and a program that posts to the HTTP interface of my SlimServer. I wrote it up at http://chairthrower.org/blog/?p=23 and http://chairthrower.org/blog/?p=22. It may be worth modifying this program to be a callout option for ncid--I'm using ncid to serve clients that do popup on my Windows PC and as well I'm getting logging of all my incoming calls. ncid also handles all the modem stuff so you don't have too. I'll take a look at it. -- mrfantasy --Mike ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
