Fritz.Box Call Monitor

[doubleugk]

For all of you that call a Fritz.Box router with phone capability his/her own, this might be something nice to have.
The attached Perl script is monitoring any incoming calls on the Fritz.Box and forward them to all LMS clients, which are turned on. Off course you can only see the notification pop-up if the client has a display ;-) If so, the caller number and the called party (line) appear in a small window.

For some reason I did not manage to increase the display time of the notification to an acceptable length. The actual value is already up to 6000 with no recognizable effect. Maybe someone has any clue why?

I would welcome any suggestions and improvements.

hi there doubleugk, interesting idea you have for LMS ............

Here i use Transporter(original)with SheevaPlug and SqueezeBoxserver attached to a Western Digital Elements 500gb external usb drive.

the SheevaPlug is running Debian on software compiled by Thomas (http://www.squeezeplug.de/).

this setup is very simple and straightforward to use,the Plug uses less than 5w ........so it runs continuously attached to my network.

i use Fritz!Box 7390 router/modem on a cable connection,this machine is very comprehensive in it's options.

my mobile phone is Samsung Galaxy S2 and i run Fritz!App Fon which enables IP Telephony via mobile.

i also use an APP called SqueezeCommander by Thomas Flatterman

all these Germans!!

Hi doubleugk,

That's a funny feature/gadget.
I really like it, but indeed it is too bad about the displaytime.
It shows only for a second or so, so you need to look very quickly.

Also it reads name from who is calling from the script ?
Would be nice if it got the name from the fritzbox too.

Btw, I run the script/LMS on my Qnap TS419p+, and have a fritzbox 7340 with VOIP. I tried it only on a Radio, will try it on a touch later on.

Just a thought:
Can you make it (optional) to mute the SqueezePlayer, when the notification is displayed ?

Thank,
Rik

I haven't yet found a way to read from the FB address book. But this is definitely something that would be nice to have. Maybe someone will post a hint.

Therefor you need to change the coding from line 99 - 102. Simply put a # at the beginning and that should do.

Hi doubleugk,

Thanks for quick reply.

Understood

Ok, But i was meaning like put a "my $AdjustVolume = 0/1;" in the code.
Also i ment to mute it for the duration of the display-duration. So restore volume after popup is gone.

Really like this script
Trying to see if the displaydration can be longer, then i really can use it.

Thanks for it, and your time, already

Hi,

Because i try to understand your script, and like it to work i have been done some searching.
This resulted in finding this post:

Hi all,

I want to show the caller-id of my asterisk telephony-server on my squeezebox radio, but I realized, that probably the syntax of the display and show comand has changed. Only the "line1:" and "line2:" parameter work, but not the additional parameters like "duration:", "centered:", "charset:", "font:", etc.

Has someone found out a solution?
I want to set the duration to "endless", so the user has to confirm this message by pressing a button or the message will be confirmed when the telephone-call ends.

Any hint is very much appreciated.

Kind regards

André

The line (line 94 in your script) like:
<playerid> display Line%201 Line%202 6
Works, but the duration is still default (3 sec.)

Line like:
<playerid> show line1:Line%201 line2:Line%202 duration:6
Works too, but also with default duration, and then seems to hang the session.
Only works again after a disconnec/reconnect to the LMS.
So, the documentation is wrong, or it is just not working as it should.

It's a bug:

It's a bug

Thanx very much for this investigation. I haven't even thought about checking the bug list.

Regarding the FB address book access I still haven't found a useful hint. One guy wrote a VB script that exports a CSV and XML file. But I haven't figured it out how the access was performed.

Maybe someone has a clue

[doubleugk]

With the 1.4.7 version iPeng will display the caller information.

From what i can tell from that script, he uses the webinterface to open the addressbook and export it.
A little too complex for me though.

But i'll see what i can find
