[Freeswitch-users] mod_conference questions

[Dave Horton]

I am trying to use mod_conference and have some questions (actually, a lot of questions — is there a forum/mailing list specifically devoted to conferencing?  If so please let me know, that would be useful).

I am using the (outbound) event socket, and I have two things that are puzzling me.

The first is that when I send a ‘conference’ application request I get a CHANNEL_EXECUTE response from FSW but I never get a CHANNEL_EXECUTE_COMPLETE.  The conference seems to be established fine, and I start getting conference::maintenance events, but I was expecting that I would get a CHANNEL_EXECUTE_COMPLETE event when the conference was established (or caller joined to existing conference).  Is my expectation misplaced, or am I possibly doing something wrong?

Secondly, I want the first call leg that I put into the conference to get all of the add-member (and other messages) from other call legs as they join and leave (this first leg I intend to use as a sort of “control leg” that will keep track of overall conference statistics and so forth). To do this, ater the first leg joins I issue this filter command:

 filter Conference-Unique-ID 5de34a49-4384-4ab4-9a26-4bb2a8610239 

and I get back a success response.  However, when I then connect a second caller to the conference, that first leg does not get the ‘add-member’ event (the _second_ leg does get this event).  Am I doing something wrong?  This was described here: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_event_socket, and I am trying to follow that model but it is not working for me.

Thanks in advance for any advice/direction/assistance.
