[Freeswitch-users] serious problem in record_session

[covici at ccs.covici.com]

OK, I had the following problems executing your idea -- I am sure its
because I don't know what I am doing, but only way to learn!  When I did
the bind_meta_app to the start_recording_extension it worked after a
fashioni.e. it started a new file, but kept the old one going.  Now what
I tried after that was I figured if I could execute record_session with
the same file name again it would close the file and all things would be
good.  In order to do this, I tried to set a variable to false
record_in_progress and execute an extension in that one which would set
it to true and if I hit the key again the variable would be true and
then it would close the file.  However what I ran into was that from the
extension called stop_recording where I have a condition for the
variable to be true, and an anti-application to set it to true if it
were false the set takes place, but the variable never actually gets
set.  I see the set, but if I log the variable its still false.  So what
am I doing wrong here?

Here are the two extensions I wrote:
<extension name="start_recording">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^start_recording$">
<action application="execute_extension" data="stop_recording"/>
<action application="set"
data="record_fn=$${recordings_dir}/${caller_id_number}.${real_destination_number}.${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}.wav"
/>
<action application="record_session" data="${record_fn}"/>
</condition>
</extension>
<extension name="stop_recording">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^stop_recording$" />
<condition field="record_in_progress" expression="^true$">
<action application="record_session" data="${record_fn}"/>
<action application="set" data="record_in_progress=false"/>
<anti-action application="set" data="record_in_progress=true"/>
</condition>
</extension>
with a meta_bind_app bound to start_recording.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
