asterisk users - Nov 2011 - problem when exiting from "record file" function without pressing the escape digit

Hi everybody,

I've been working on a project which records the voice of the incoming call.

I use record_file function of asterisk as described below:

RECORD FILE <filename> <format> <escape digits>
<timeout> [offset samples]
[BEEP] [s=<silence>]

filename: record1
format: wav
escape digits: #
timeout: -1
offset samples: 0
BEEP: 1
silence: 3000

*Please read the scenario for an incoming call:*
*
*
- The user calls the asterisk
- The user talks on the telephone
- Ends the conversation without pressing the escape digit ("#")

In this scenario, unfortunately, "record file" do not end
automatically but
since the "silence" field is
3 seconds, the record file function waits for 3 seconds to end.

After record file function is ended, I listened the recorded file and I
heard a "busy tone" sound in this file as
"beeep beeeep beeep" continously.

*My question:*
*
*
Why do I need to hit the escape character ('#') to end the "record
file"
function? Is there any way, that
asterisk shall detect that the caller has closed the telephone?

Regards.

Hey,

How are you starting the recording? MixMonitor? or Monitor? or some option
in an application?
If you are using MixMonitor or anything alike then you should
StopMixMonitor when the call hits the "h" extension.

Paste your dialplan relevant to the recording scenario to suggest you
something better.
