[asterisk-users] MeetMe and setting conference timeout

[ik]

Hello,

I have MeetMe rooms generated dynamically and it always have two people
inside that are entered by dialplan.

I wish to make in some way a timeout mechanism that after X amount of time,
it will disconnect the users and kick them out of the conference.
How can I do such thing ?

Thanks,

Ido

Write an AGI to hangup the users using Asterisk Manager. If you're the
ambitious type, you could do it with grep and awk from the dialplan; just
hangup the appropriate channels.

Wow... that sure sounds like complicated overkill to me. Why not just
set an absolute timeout on the channels? Something like:

exten => 123,1,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=3600)
exten => 123,n,MeetMe(blah,d)

[Danny Nicholas]

That sounds good Jared; This would kill the channel 1 hour after caller 1
joined conference?

Close... it will kill each channel one hour after each channel joined
the conference. If Bob joins at 5:00 and John joins at 5:01, then Bob's
channel dies at 6:00 and John's dies at 6:01. (You could obviously add
dialplan logic to calculate a smaller timeout value for John's call, but
I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.)

if you are using freepbx and you want to set timeout for all conference rooms
go here -http://dn.forceit.ru/asterisk-conference-timeout

Thank you all for the comments.

Jared, I've implemented your idea, and it worked very well. Thank you very
much for it :)

If you upgrade to Asterisk 1.6.0, you have those features as an intrinsic part
of the realtime integration.

Is there a README file with the new Realtime SQL table definition for
Meetme?

There is not, but I just updated the documentation, when I saw the original
message in this thread. You can find the updated documentation here:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.6.0/contrib/scripts/meetme.sql
The new documentation should be in the next release of 1.6.0.

Another one bites the dust: Looks like Nufone is finally dead and out of business.

I heard they may be selling some of their software, name, and other items to another company, but that it probably won't happen.

More on Jeremy's blog:
http://www.jeremy-mcnamara.com/2009/03/31/how-the-hell-happened-to-nufone/

Their fate was sealed when Jeremy threw up his hands in frustration and left.
Since he was the only one able to ever diagnose and fix problems, it was just
a matter of time after that occurrence till the business would shut down. At
the time Jeremy left, I was not aware and kept giving them more time to fix my
numbers. After 45 days (these aren't production numbers, just toll-frees I
have for fun!), I gave up and moved the remainders to Binfone.

This is from my realtime extensions, database formatted. Set the
TIMEOUT(absolute)=value to whatever you like in seconds. This will
kick this user out after 2 hours.
