I would like to specify the media URI (query parameter) using an absolute path, but every document/example I can find is relative to the Asterisk data directory as shown in this post
Is it possible to specify a full path? (My first attempt didn’t work - so in case I’m wasting my time and must put the file below the data dir please let me know)
For anyone else looking for an answer, I found a clue in an old post. Even though the media URI sounds like it should be formatted like any other uri (e.g. file:///mydir/myfile.wav ), you in fact have to change the prefix to sound: (not file:// ). Then you are past this hurdle…
eg: sound://mydir/myfile.wav
As noted in other post(s), the documentation would benefit from a few examples.
