HoldMusic

[KlausH]

Hi,

I would like to change the holdmusic automatically at a time.

Is there a possibility?

Hello Klaus,

 

after our phone call yesterday I asked a colleague if he could help, and he came up with this  

 

# Connect to the local SwyxServer via Windows Authentication
Connect-IpPbx

# Ask for the music on hold file name
$messageText = "Please enter the filename of the new 'Music on Hold'. " + `
               "Please note that the file must be already in the " + `
               "IpPbx database (Scope: Global / Category: Music on Hold)"

$fileName = Read-Host $messageText

# Check if file really exists in database
$fileEntry = Get-IpPbxFile -FileName $fileName -Scope Global -Category HoldMusic
if (!$fileEntry)
{
    Write-Warning "A file with the name $($fileName) could be found in the IpPbx database."
    if (!$psISE)
    {
        Write-Host 
        Read-Host "Press any key to continue ..."
        $x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
    }
    exit
}

# Change the "Music On Hold"
$globalConfigEntry = $Global:LibManager.GetGlobalConfigEntry()
$globalConfigEntry.HoldMusicFile = $fileName
$globalConfigEntry.Update($true)

Write-Host "MusicOnHold changed successfully -> Have a nice day ;-)"

# Check for PowerShell ISE usage and avoid ReadKey call in this case, because
# it fails with an error message.
if (!$psISE)
{
    Write-Host 
    Read-Host "Press any key to continue ..."
    $x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
}

 

ChangeMusicOnHold.ps1

 

To completely automate it you simply hard code the $filename variable.

Hello Together,

 

I solved it once with a Windows Service. The Service uses the CDS API for updating the Holdmusic.

You can use although a folder where you place the .wav files. The Service reads this folder an puts the missing musicfiles into the database.

You could configure a random or sequential row for the music.

The service should look like this: Timeout(30 minutes)>Read Folder>Put missing Files to DB>Change musiconhold>start new Timer.

 

Best regards

Pascal

Hello,

thanks for the answers.

 

So I have set it up now:

 

# Connect to the local SwyxServer via Windows Authentication

Connect-IpPbx

$Path = "C:\wav\"

$fileName = "XMAS.wav"

# Copy File into the database

Import-IpPbxFile -Path $Path$fileName -Scope Global -Category HoldMusic -Overwrite -confirm:$false

# Change the "Music On Hold"

$globalConfigEntry = $Global:LibManager.GetGlobalConfigEntry()

$globalConfigEntry.HoldMusicFile = $fileName

$globalConfigEntry.Update($true)

 

Via the task scheduler I start this script at a certain time.
