I have benn having trouble with the Monitor Command. Basically any time that I send a call into a MeetMe room I am only able to monitor half of the conversation. File-in is recorded with the incoming voice but file-out does NOT record anything. I have tried this with both the b and m option as well as without any options to the MeetMe command. Also the Monitor correctly records both sides of the channel when I do not send the channel to a MeetMe room (send them to another extension). The only thing I can think may be wrong is that for some reason the call is never considered "bridged" when I send the call directly to a MeetMe room. Any Ideas? Are there any ways to record a MeetMe room when there is more than one channel connected? Thanks Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Use the manager API to send a call from the meetme room to an extension that does Monitor for a specified period of time. That is how we do it in the astGUIclient suite and it works great. ; extensions.conf entry: ; this is used for recording conference calls, the client app sends the filename ; value as a callerID, recordings go to /var/spool/asterisk/monitor exten => 8309,1,Answer exten => 8309,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => 8309,3,Wait,3600 exten => 8309,4,Hangup Manager Command: Action: Originate Channel: Local/68600012@default Context: default Extension: 8309 Priority: 1 CallerID: FilenameGoesHere1234 MATT--- -----Original Message----- From: Michael Blood [mailto:Michael@Matraex.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 8:25 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Monitoring Conferences I have benn having trouble with the Monitor Command.

Matt, How do you stop the recording if it is set for a period of time? Eg if set the period as 30 minutes and the call finishes early will it cease recording or hold up the line for 30 mins -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of mattf Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 10:15 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Monitoring Conferences Use the manager API to send a call from the meetme room to an extension that does Monitor for a specified period of time.

In our client apps, we track the call placed and Hangup that call when conference is over. All you need to do is either have a function that hangs up those recording channels if they are the only one in the conference(perl script running periodically parsing "Show Channels") Or you could link a button on an app or web page to a function that would hangup the channels that are connected to a specific meetme room. It's not the easiest thing to program, but it always works and it is the only reliable way that Asterisk lets you record conferences. Our company has done hundreds of thousands of recordings this way over the last 2 years.
