Concatenated multiple playback types
by Emrah 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello there, I am trying to add some silence before the alone sound file in my conference.cnf.xml and can't get it to work. Here is what I tried: <param name="alone-sound" value="silence_stream://5000!file_string://conference/conf-alone.wav"/> <param name="alone-sound" value="silence_stream://5000&file_string://conference/conf-alone.wav"/> <param name="alone-sound" value="silence_stream://5000|file_string://conference/conf-alone.wav"/> <param name="alone-sound" value="silence_stream://5000;file_string://conference/conf-alone.wav"/> Any idea on how to do this? Thanks! Emrah

displace_session and moh via event socket
by Peter Steinbach 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello, In an IVR we want to play moh for 10 seconds via event socket to an existing session. We send the following message (we actually do not use ESL for certain reasons): SendMsg call-command: execute execute-app-name: displace_session execute-app-arg: local_stream://moh m +10000 event-lock:false I think, this is the only way to play a stream for a certain time within a session right? We get the following output: 2012-08-17 16:05:20.261460 [DEBUG] switch_ivr.c:599 sofia/internal/202(a)fs100.mydomain.de Command Execute displace_session(local_stream://moh m +10000) EXECUTE sofia/internal/202(a)fs100.mydomain.de displace_session(local_stream://moh m +10000) 2012-08-17 16:05:20.261460 [DEBUG] mod_local_stream.c:417 Opening Stream [moh/8000] 8000hz 2012-08-17 16:05:20.261460 [DEBUG] switch_core_media_bug.c:502 Attaching BUG to sofia/internal/202(a)fs100.mydomain.de 2012-08-17 16:05:20.321460 [DEBUG] switch_core_io.c:353 Setting BUG Codec PCMA:8 2012-08-17 16:05:27.981463 [CRIT] mod_local_stream.c:297 Leaking stream handle!

[switch_ivr_displace_session() src/switch_ivr_async.c:951] and no sound is played. Passing a regular filename does not work either. Without the "m" or time parameter we have also the same result: No file is played. See the following log: 2012-08-17 17:00:51.911469 [DEBUG] switch_ivr.c:599 sofia/internal/202(a)fs100.mydomain.de Command Execute displace_session(/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/google/de/willkommen.mp3 m +10000) EXECUTE sofia/internal/202(a)fs100.mydomain.de displace_session(/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/google/de/willkommen.mp3 m +10000) 2012-08-17 17:00:51.921461 [DEBUG] switch_core_media_bug.c:502 Attaching BUG to sofia/internal/202(a)fs100.mydomain.de 2012-08-17 17:00:51.941460 [DEBUG] switch_core_io.c:353 Setting BUG Codec PCMA:8 And then output stops for this session. An normal playback works however, but with playback we cannot limit a file to a certain time period, right? Did Anybody have the same issue and knows how to solve this? -- With kind regards Peter Steinbach Telefaks Services GmbH mailto:lists (att) telefaks.de Internet: www.telefaks.de

FSClient Windows Softphone 1.2 Release
by Mitch Capper 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Some fairly large changes in this release. Please see the UPNP Nat comment at the end of this if you are using FS and are going through NAT. In addition if you are using any 3rd party or self developed plugins see the note at the end. I will briefly talk about it on todays conference call also. *) N-Way calling with conference support (mute/deaf/kick/split/energy & volume level control on a per caller basis) *) 3 Panel configurable layout, you can now collapse the call or accounts panel *) Direct SIP: dialing, you can now dial into the conference for example without having to use an actual server *) Theme support choose from one of 4 themes for the dialer (Default theme changed to Steel from former Royal Blue so make sure to change back if you prefer the original look!) *) Major startup time improvements, from 30+ seconds to under 5 *) Caller ID sending fix *) Call auto answer support *) Includes new portaudio fix that would cause your ring device to sometimes ring while you were in a call *) Account status and currently default account now shown on dialpad panel also. *) Transfer Aliases, you can now right click on the XFER button and select who to transfer to (right click on it prior to being in a call to add aliases). This relies on the contact plugin to support storing them, if you have a plugin based on SimpleContactPluginBase you must atleast add stubs for the few new XFER functions. *) Based on the recently minted FreeSWITCH 1.2 :) Screenshots and details on the new options can be found at: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FSClient Thanks also João for the nice comment on the last release! Sorry I missed it I posted the last update right before i left on a trip for several days. The speed improvements on startup are in part due to the removal of the UPNP nat check on startup, I do not believe most people rely on upnp however if you do find with it disabled (its in options now) your FSClient doesn't work please let me know! All plugins must now meet the file naming convention in order to be loaded. This means they must end in HeadsetPlugin.dll or ContactPlugin.dll or else FSClient will no longer try to load them. This is to reduce load times and prevent excess code from getting loaded into the executable. ~Mitch

Simple Answer No, FreeSWITCH is a B2BUA, the number of threads is 1 per call leg, in bypass media, the thread is blocked for the most part and not consuming anything until the hangup At high call rates you¹ll notice that most of the CPU is used by Sofia threads... Best way to reduce context switching is more cores or if you have hyperthreading disabled, enabled it, you¹ll notice a nice boost... Tell Chris I said HI!

FreeSWITCH Question
by Jason Caulfield 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I am using FreeSWITCH in media bypass mode to decrease memory and cpu usage. I notice that mod_sofia creates threads for each call leg to maintain session context. Do you know of a way to configure FreeSWITCH to use a table to maintain the context when in media bypass mode to reduce the number of threads? I am hoping that this will speed things up by reducing thread context switching and reduce memory usage by decreasing memory allocation for each thread. Thanks for the help, Jason
