asterisk users - Mar 2006 - difference between records in CDR and real duration of call

hi

i've made some test calls, i've notice that a call of the duration of
1:29 minutes is recorded in the cdr database as 1:45 minutes, is it
normal?

i think that 15 seconds are too many... how can i correct this?

thanks

What about ResetCDR() just before Dial()?

Maybe you answer the call in the dialplan before you pickup? Please
show us the dialplan you used... and do you mean duration or billsec?

Or maybe, you should try the "C" flag in your Dial().

That's because the duration is counted from the time of dialling. billsec is
what you want if it's to calculate the duration the call was active.

To change what shows you need to change call-log.php in 
/var/www/html/admin/cdr/

Instead of duration extract billsec - you can still label it duration (as in 
the title of the column). It might be closer to what you wish.
