Start moh in the middle

[InnovIP]

Hello asterisk gurus,

I have a strange questions for you:
would it be possible pour starting playing a moh as of second X. What I mean, is that let's imagine I have a music (sound) that runs for 90 seconds. I want the playback to start at second 30, to skip the first 30 seconds.

Something like
exten => s,n,Set(CALLOPTIONS=${CALLOPTIONS}m(moh1)) (start at the beginning of the moh)
becomes
exten => s,n,Set(CALLOPTIONS=${CALLOPTIONS}m(moh1,30)) (start at second 30 of the moh)

It that possible ?

Or another way to turn the thing around, I would like ONE moh (90 seconds) to be played during multiple calls (dial...) without restarting at each call at the beginning. Ex: in the beginning, dial ext1.
After 30 secs, dial ext2, CONTINUING the moh (starting at sec 30)
After another 30 secs, dial ext3 still continuing the moh (starting at sec 60).

Would that be possible ?
Thank you all in advance.

The answer is no, you cannot. Music on Hold can be a single file, multiple files or a stream. You can set the MoH class and how long to play MoH but you cant choose a starting point or continue it on new channels.

If it's an MP3 file, there are numerous cloud-based servers that will let you trim your file in any way you like.

For example: https://audiotrimmer.com/

that will let you trim your file in any way you like.

Or install 'Audacity' on your windowz PC, to do the editing.
