I’ve spent over a week trying to set up an application that would connect my sip trunk configured in asterisk to an external websocket server (which is connected to a voice agent that supports audio streaming over websocket) using External Media Channel. But how many times I have not installed reinstalled and tried to configure this module, it does not succeed… I already doubt its existence…
Please help me to realize the transfer of audio stream from asterisk to websocket and vice versa.
There is no support for sending audio over a Websocket yet. It sends to an outside ARI application using RTP over UDP, or Audiosocket.
thanks for your reply and I apologize if I’m not expressing myself correctly, I’m new to working with asterisk.
As I understand ARI application with RTP uses externalMedia channels, but I can’t install this module, as soon as I tried to install it, it is always not in menuselect and nowhere else… as if it doesn’t exist in asterisk at all.
The module is built and installed by default.
I tried on ubuntu, debian, 16/18/22 versions.
every time:
module show like res_external_media - no module
module load res_external_media.so - error no module
load => res_external_media.so in modules.conf - nothing
all dependencies are installed
everytime no chan_external_media.so, no res_external_media.so or any other like external media in all “menuselect”..
I’m confused. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in this situation.
There is no such module. Why do you think it should exist?
The underlying modules are chan_rtp and res_ari_channels.

The ari modules comes as default make of asterisk, you can check:
asterisk -rvvvvvv
module show like ari
If you are looking for some ideas, here are multiple tests using ari external media channels:

I have to develop with copilot, and all my attempts with different approaches always lead to the fact that aserisk must have an external_media module (chan_external_media), but it is not there and cannot be loaded.
thanks for the code, I will try to figure it out, because my self-esteem is hurt =)
As with many LLMs, it lies.
