[Freeswitch-users] Javascript: record ringing of session

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your feedback.
I still cannot get it to work, maybe the snippet and the output will 
give you an idea?


*** I've got the following javascript:

var endpoint_url = 'sofia/gateway/westhawk/0663';
var recordfile = "/usr/local/freeswitch/recordings/dispatcher.wav";

setGlobalVariable("RECORD_ANSWER_REQ", false);
var mSession = new Session("{ignore_early_media=false}" + endpoint_url);
console_log("info", "mSession created, start recording\n");

mSession.execute("record_session", recordfile);


*** When I run it:
freeswitch at apso> jsrun record_rings.js
API CALL [jsrun(record_rings.js)] output:
OK

As you can see, 'new Session' does not return on the 'ring ready' and 
therefore doesn't record the rings to/on this new channel (that is 
mSession).
Having said that, I don't know if 'ring ready' qualifies as 'early media'.

Cheers, Birgit
