[Freeswitch-users] session:recordFile(-) always creates empty wav file during outbound IVR call

[king2kin]

Anthony,

Thank you for help. I tried outbound IVR call in multiple ways again based on your advice,  session:recordFile(-) still doesn't work normally, still created empty wav file .

Could anyone please give me a hand on FreeSwitch Record? It always fails to record audio file during any outbound IVR call (auto dialer) although it works well during any inbound ivr call. 

Session:streamFile(-) works well to play back prompt files, dtmf keypress also works, ... during outbound ivr call. 

x.k.
