Playback using remote URI not working

Asterisk Asterisk Dialplan
1

Hello, I’m facing a problem when I try to execute the dial plan described below.

[test_dial_plan]
exten => _X.,1,Verbose(Testing Started)
exten => _X.,n,Playback(http://192.168.127.27/asterisk/gsm/tt-monkeys.gsm)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup()

The dial plan is returning warnings when it tries to execute the Playback method and the call does not hang up. Here are the logs returned by the Asterisk.

I already tried the approaches below.
• Set the cache settings on the media server
• Use different file extensions like (ulaw, wav, gsm)
• Omit the file extensions.

I can’t find any documentation that allows playback of anything but a local file with the filetype omitted. Either the documentation is wrong, or this is not yet supported.

I was supposing it based on this article.

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+14+Project±+URI+Media+Playback

But it’s really strange that the current docs about the Playback method on Asterisk 16.x do not talk about using the URI as a parameter.

So should I consider that Asterisk does not have support for it?

16 has support for it. You may want to increase debugging[1] to see if there are underlying reasons. There are also modules required to be loaded, so if you are doing selective module loading I’d suggest turning on autoload and testing.
