In this troubling time of dealing with COVID-19 around the world we’re seeing more and more need for tools to help in communicating with co-workers, friends and family. Asterisk has historically proven itself as one of the key puzzle pieces when it comes to enacting change and evolution in the communications space. The power of
Review If you’ve been following this blog post series, then you should have a channel driver that’s ready to be integrated with ARI. If not, then check out Part 1 and Part 2 first. The purpose of this final chapter in the series will be to get your channel driver working with ARI, which is
At recent AstriDevCon meetings, we discussed the possibility of allowing an ARI application to capture or inject media into calls it controlled. With the release of Asterisk 16.6, that capability is now available. More information is available on the Asterisk Wiki External Media and ARI web page but let’s go over a simple scenario. Let’s say
The Asterisk Rest Interface (ARI) over the last year received several enhancements that have been requested by the community: server side event filtering automatic context creation moving a channel between apps Although these topics have been discussed previously, with Astricon, and the release of Asterisk 17.0.0 just around the corner I think it’s a good
Overview One of the topics of discussion every year at Astricon is not needing to use the dialplan in order to use Stasis. This involves a couple of different things in order to bypass dialplan completely. First of all, the only way to enter Stasis is to have a line of dialplan that places the
Since the arrival of the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI) requests have been made to allow for event type filtering capabilities. Consumers have wanted a way to make it so Asterisk only sends a specified subset of events to the connected application. Guess what, the wait is finally over! Starting with Asterisk 13.26.0, and Asterisk 16.3.0
As is well known, there are several ways to extend Asterisk features, but if you want to exploit the full power of its raw primitive objects — channels, bridges, endpoints, media, etc. — you really need to use ARI. On the other hand, if the performances of your application are important, chances are you’re using
Several improvements to ARI’s media manipulation are coming in Asterisk 14. In this post, we’ll explore media playlists, how they are used, and the problem they solve. A Simple Application It’s fairly common in Asterisk to construct complex sound prompts from multiple simpler sound files. Say, for example, we wanted to emulate the simple IVR
