asterisk users - Mar 2018 - h264 recording

Hi,

I'm using the Record dialplan Application in an Context. My goal is to get
a single screenshot of the h264 media stream per call.

 same => n,Record(/tmp/test.wav,0,10,qk)

I nicely get a File test.h264. Is there a way to Playback this h264 video
file on my computer or convert it somehow? VLC can't take it somehow.

Regards,

Benjamin

That sounds like a pretty big challenge for Asterisk.

I'm impressed that you get a test.h264 file, given that you asked the Record
function to create a test.wav file for you...

What does the "file" command tell you it seems to contain?

As far as it at least claim to record some sort of h264 it doesn't sound as
a to big challenge for me. My plan is to use e.g. ffmpeg to convert the
h264 media stream to an image

That's how the Asterisk record application works. You have to give it the
Audio filename and it creates in addition a video file with the
approperiate extension if video is there in the call.
