Hello,

I can’t seem to use MeetMe app in asterisk versions beyond 1.8. Its source
file app_meetme.c is present in the apps dir. Also, I can find app_meetme
change-logs on the asterisk website. However, the dialplan doesn’t have
this cmd. I have checked menuselect but it says it has been replaced by
app_confbridge.

Also, If that *is* the case, does ConfBridge (the newer version of meetme)
offer the same options? How do I use them?

    It’s still available, but marked as depreciated. So, do a make
    menuselect, Applications, scroll all the way to the bottom and check meetme.

    I did, and I mentioned it in my earlier email too.
    Screenshot attached.

    You mentioned that the meetme source was there, I was guessing that the
    option to compile wasn’t checked so the binary wasn’t available.

    I just ran into this myself yesterday when converting a 1.4x box (Still
    in progress) to a 10.2.0 RC2 and once checked and re-compiled, meetme
    was available.

    ConfBridge is not much flexible as MeetMe.

    Doug, I can find the following in asterisk 10 changelogs:

    The following error will consistently
    occur when trying to dial into a MeetMe conference when the
    server does not have DAHDI hardware installed: app_meetme.c: No
    DAHDI channel available for conference, user introduction
    disabled (is chan_dahdi loaded?) While chan_dahdi is loaded
    correctly during compilation and install of Asterisk/Dahdi,
    including associated modules, etc., a chan_dahdi.conf
    configuration file in /etc/asterisk is not created by FreePBX if
    hardware does not exist, causing MeetMe to be unable to open a
    DAHDI pseudo channel. * Allow chan_dahdi to create a pseudo
    channel when there is no chan_dahdi.conf file to load. (closes
    issue ASTERISK-17398) Reported by: Preston Edwards

    This would mean that meetme should not have dahdi as a compilation
    dependency.

    No, this is incorrect. First, you are confusing DAHDI and chan_dahdi.
    MeetMe absolutely requires, and will always require DAHDI, because DAHDI
    is used for mixing the audio streams together into conferences.

    Second, MeetMe also requires chan_dahdi to be loaded, and prior to the
    patch you listed above, this required a chan_dahdi.conf file to be
    present. The patch listed above changed changed chan_dahdi to load in a
    very ‘basic’ configuration when no chan_dahdi.conf file is present.
