I fuzzily recall someone posting a script that shuffled off voicemails to google for conversion to text that could then be emailed. Anyone have any luck with that? Anything new out there?

Given the recent announcement about Google slimming their support for public interconnection with XMPP, can anybody comment on where this leaves the XMPP support in Asterisk?

In particular, I notice many of the references to XMPP on the wiki link to
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Calling+using+Google

which seems to suggest that XMPP support and Google Talk support are one and the same.

Is the XMPP support only tuned for Google variation of XMPP/ICE/TURN, or is it supported for all open Jabber servers? I currently run 1.8
(before chan_motif) against ejabberd

Is it me or Google just blocked Asterisk’s chan_motif? I get “violation of terms of service” audio message whenever I send a call. Philip

Hello all, I am looking into building a calendar server (due to business requierments I can not use public hosted calender like Google), and am looking for suggestions based on experience with different calendar applications/servers available for Linux that you have integrated with Asterisk. If you can give a quick, simple list of what worked and what didn’t I would be very grateful. Thank You, John

I just wanted to send out some information that will hopefully help others. I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one that’s been having problems with this. I’ve been pulling my hair out for a while wondering why Google would not send my incoming calls to my Asterisk box. The calls would just roll to voice mail and no packets ever reached Asterisk. This has happened on two separate Asterisk boxes and three different GoogleVoice numbers. I’ve been all through the GV
web page settings but nothing I did changed anything. I figured it had to be something simple, and I was right. I finally ran across an article that talked about the priority setting in xmpp.conf. This is set to 1 by default, which is apparently the lowest priority setting. Apparently, GV routes calls to whatever session has the highest priority. If I understand correctly, being logged into gmail/gtalk has a higher priority, somewhere around 20. So Google calls were probably being routed to my logged-in session but I never saw them because I don’t use Gtalk. I changed this value to 100, as suggested in the article, and incoming calls immediately started working for all three GoogleVoice numbers.

The Asterisk 11 xmpp.conf sample file currently has this to say about the priority setting:

;priority=1 ; Resource priority

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that probably could use a bit more. This seems like a pretty important setting.

Just my two cents …

Hope this helps somebody else.
