RE: [Asterisk-java-users] Interrupting StreamFile with DTMF digits.

[John M. <jo...@sy...>]

Hi Stefan,

I have upgraded to 0.2 on Asterisk 1.0.9 and I have the same problems. I
also tried other escape characters such as 1, 2, etc.

Using the AGI debugging I notice the AGI command used has the following
syntax.
>>> STREAM FILE "myprompt" "1"

where the digit "1" is the valid escape digit.

I found the following example in the AGI Help ...

STREAM FILE welcome #
Plays the file 'welcome'. If the user presses the '#' key the playing stops
and the command returns 200 result=35

Note
Don't give an extension with the filename.
Asterisk looks for the file to play in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
Use double quotes if the message should play completely. For example to play
audio file 'welcome' without allowing interruption by digits use: STREAM
FILE welcome ""


The last comment might suggest that the quotes around the escape digits
might lead the interpreter to play the file fully as the previous example
does not have any quotes on the escape digit.

Does anyone have an example of a working AGI STREAM FILE command with escape
digits provided.

thanks for any help,
regards,
John.

no it usually "just works" :)

I would suggest you to use the latest release of Asterisk-Java (i.e.
0.2) and try to reproduce the problem with that version. And you could
try to allow other dtmf digits to be pressed like streamFile("myprompt",
"1234");
