[Freeswitch-users] Post-processing conference recording

Thu Apr 20 18:20:49 MSD 2017

I just have my cron job look for recording files that are at least 1 min
old.
This way I know I am not moving active files.  In my case, I can live with
a 1-2 minute delay.

Also, in this case I don't need any FS events to tell me whether the
conference ended or marker files.

Are there any issues with this approach that I am missing?
