I want all my voicemail in .WAV format except for a couple of extensions which need to be in MP3.<br>
<br>
I'm getting strange results playing with these settings, for example, after logging into the voicemail, it will say "You have 1 new message. First message at <date and time>", and then instead of the voicemail message there will be silence and a long pause. Then it will repeat the message count and loop this behavior. During the silence, I seem to be able to press keys to trigger voicemail events, like for example I am allowed to delete the message (although it isn't playing the message to me, and I am instead hearing silence).<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br></blockquote><div><br>Is this perhaps a recording of silence, so that you might actually be listening to a message?<br>-MC<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br><div><br></div><div>Nope, turns out that according to the FS logs it was trying to play a {uuid}.WAV file that it was expecting to still be there, but which was deleted from a previous checking of voicemail. It's like the database of new messages was out of sync with the message sound files in the mailbox on the server. I deleted the 'ghost' voicemails from my mailbox and now things are back to normal. That could have been a result of my experimentations, I doubt it was a problem with FS. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your help and keep up the outstanding work!
