[Freeswitch-users] Loopback and bypass_media

[Phillip Jones]

Rupa / all,

Just a quick follow up to this.

This is appears to a timing issue. If I try and do a "uuid_media off +
uuid"  in  "api_after_bridge"  it fails with "CHAN_NOT_IMPLEMENTED"
and  the call is dropped.

If appears to be trying to do a SIP reinvite on the loopback channel
which is of course just about to / has disappear/ed.

So I tried this, after the call is established, at the commend line, I
do "show calls" and using the uuid shown, type "uuid_media off  uuid".
The SIP REINVITE is issued and works.

I think the switch_ivr_nomedia function in switch_ivr_c is getting the
loopback uuid when it calls "other_uuid =
switch_channel_get_variable(channel, SWITCH_BRIDGE_VARIABLE)"

That's why the SIP REINVITE fails.

So... in api_after_bridge I issue:

"sched_api", "+3 none uuid_media off " + uuid. This calls the
switch_ivr_nomedia function 3 seconds after the calls bridge is
established.


And it works, Not nice - not scalable or production ready - but the
SIP-REINVITE is successful and at least now I understand what is going
on.

Make sense?

Thanks


Phil
