[Freeswitch-users] Post-processing conference recording

[Chad Phillips]

Thought I'd follow up on this with my final implementation, which was a bit
different than my original plan. It's certainly not as straightforward or
elegant as I'd hoped, but it works :)

The main sticky point is dealing with the Linux file permissions --
FreeSWITCH by default saves the recordings under the user and group it's
running as, with 660 perms. Since the webserver and the node process both
run under separate users as well, it made more sense to have the root user
deal with the file manipulation. So...

1. Create a special directory to hold 'marker files', writeable by the
FreeSWITCH user
2. Node process listens for the 'conference-destroy' event (this doesn't
seem to be a well-documented event, but it exists!)
3. Since the file cleanup in mod_conference happens after the
conference-destroy event, wait a small amount of time after receiving the
event
4. Drop a marker file in the marker file directory
5. Run a periodic root cron job that inspects the marker file directory for
new files, and process the ended recordings as necessary

This allows the cron idea offered by Sebastian without the concern about
untimely moving of a file raised by Giovanni.
