Vodia PBX Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 is it okay to put a 7 minute long file for Music On Hold ? or the longer the file themore memory it will use up?also whats the best format to have it in? 7 minute means 128 kbit/s times 7 * 60 seconds = 6.7 MB. That is okay. The first time the PBX might have a little hickup (jitter), but the subsequent calls to the MoH file will be smooth because the PBX keeps it in memory.

mattlandis Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 7mb MOH file can cause jitter!? i didn't get a chance to test this. Is this typical to have jitter on first MOH start using such a small file? If its running on a PC type hardware is this similar? I guess I'm learning about moh...;-) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 If its running on a PC type hardware is this similar? Well, the jitter might come from allocating the 7 MB; not from reading hte file (that happens in the background). Usually, the jitter should be pretty small. Especially on a PC. A embedded platform with 128 MB and no swap space might be more jitter to the level you can notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
