I am trying to understand how to request execution of EAGI using AMI . I have an extension with agi:async started and I need to request for eagi process to start on it. I am unable to find documentation on how that can be done.

The only thing you can do from AMI is to redirect the channel to an extension in the dialplan that executes the EAGI dialplan application.

I agree with @jcolp , Originate action and Local channel

I think Joshua was suggesting ChannelRedirect on the original channel!

In my case, I have incoming call that reaches an extension, I need to run EAGI script to gather audio and do other things as well. If I begin with eagi, that channel is locked and will not execute anything until agi completes. So I would like to use AMI to create another channel separately for EAG…

Typically you would use chan_spy. There is a more general low level mechanism, auidiohooks, but I’m not sure how well exposed it is in recent versions.

Once eagi starts it will not let the channel spy

It sounds as if you want to effectively create a fork of the media. In that case you’d originate a Local channel that spies on the channel, and then send the other half of it to EAGI. That would pipe the spied media into EAGI.

Then the original channel is locked by eagi and cannot execute async agi requests. Spying channel is locked by spy command and cannot execute it either And since we cant execute request spy or eagi using any interface in this situation it is a pretty very sad story. One thing is clear if you want…

They would both have to run on the same thread.

You can’t fundamentally have two or more owners of a channel - because then, who is right and who is wrong? Who is the real owner? Technically both of them, and then you get a clash. As for your response - if you use a Local channel with Chanspy and EAGI then what you are stating doesn’t happen. Th…
