Hi folks,  
I am running Asterisk 16.30.0 and trying to use AMI.  
I have a call connected (caller leg - callee leg)  
I want to put a caller lega on hold & play a file, then call legb on hold using AMI. After a few seconds i want to call AMI again and unhold them (and bridge).  
I cant find a way to do it. Redirect does work only on 1 channel then the other channel just hangs up.  
I am not sure about Park, have not tested it. Is there anyway that i can put both channels in a conference and then play a file? and if i want to unhold them i can stop playing file?  
ANy other idea how to achieve this?

Thanks

Redirect can take two channels.

Thanks.  
How to bridge them back once the file is played?
