Stumped by mod_portaudio permissions issue
by Mark Haun 02 Feb '20

02 Feb '20

I built freeswitch version 1.7.0+git~20150730T192909Z~ab7f83c654~32bit for my ARM-based home server (an NVIDIA Jetson board), with the intention of using mod_portaudio with a wireless USB headset for my main home phone. It works well when running freeswitch directly as root, but when I configured freeswitch to run at system startup, mod_portaudio could no longer find any audio devices. No problem, I thought, it's a simple permissions issue. I am using the example debian init script from the wiki (this is a Jessie install with SysV init rather than systemd). It runs freeswitch as user freeswitch, group daemon using the -u and -g command-line options. So I added "freeswitch" to the audio group, then used sudo to verify that I could play sound files with "aplay" as the freeswitch user. That worked, but it did not solve the mod_portaudio failure. Thinking there must be an issue with portaudio separate from ALSA, I fetched and built the "pa_devs" utility which enumerates and prints the available audio devices. (This is basically what mod_portaudio is doing on startup.) Running as the freeswitch user, that worked too. Hmmmm. I tried running freeswitch from the command line using sudo rather than the -u and -g options, i.e. $ sudo freeswitch /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc and that worked as well! Then I started experimenting with -u and -g and discovered that $ /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc -u freeswitch allows mod_portaudio to load correctly, whereas $ /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc -u freeswitch -g daemon causes mod_portaudio to fail. Can anyone explain what's happening here? In both cases the process UID, GID, EUID, EGID, FUID, and FGID are the same (freeswitch:daemon) as displayed with "ps xao pid,uid,gid,euid,egid,fuid,fgid". Could this be a bug in freeswitch? There are a couple of threads from 2-3 years ago in the archives, where mod_portaudio permissions issues were never resolved and the solution remained a mystery. For the time being I guess this (not using -g) is a workaround, but I'd sure like to understand what is going on. Mark

HI, Has anyone experienced DTLS handshake takes 5s to get to SETUP state: > 2017-09-21 11:40:40.021178 [INFO] switch_rtp.c:3515 Changing audio DTLS > state from OFF to HANDSHAKE > 2017-09-21 11:40:45.319457 [INFO] switch_rtp.c:3172 Changing audio DTLS > state from HANDSHAKE to SETUP In network dump i see that answering side is not sending STUN for this 5s and then suddenly answers last 5 STUNs from A side. Has anyone encountered this kind of problem ? I have a pcap if necessary... Thanks, -- Regards, Mirko

Change SIP Contact header on b-leg
by Кирилл Преслер 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Provider not accepting calls because of "bad" Contact header sip:gw+ss@10.50.244.15:5060;transport=udp;gw=ss ITSP needs sip:username@10.50.244.15:5060, where username should be passed from dialplan for every call and there is no params. I've tried following variables with set and export, but nothing seems to work. sip_contact_user sip_outgoing_contact_uri sip_invite_contact_params

Audio delayed for about 3sec.
by 王聡 20 Dec '18

Hey all, Today I moved my freeswitch server from VM to cloud server, but I found there has an audio delay on both caller and receiver for about 3sec in each call during call test. Is there any idea for this audio delay? Regards.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] stream a file multicast with mod_esf

Hi Brian, i thought if i can stream from portaudio it is almost the same with streaming from file, so it should working already now. Is this not the design idea of channels and media to do so? regards, thomas PS: sry for improper formatted mail, i cant reply at the moment and have to copy mail from archive :( ________________________________ >From brian at freeswitch.org Thu Feb 12 07:07:36 2009 From: brian at freeswitch.org (Brian West) Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 09:07:36 -0600 Subject: [Freeswitch-users] stream a file multicast with mod_esf Message-ID: <6F68FEDB-8976-44D4-9A67-F871EC7D5120(a)freeswitch.org <mailto:6F68FEDB-8976-44D4-9A67-F871EC7D5120@freeswitch.org> > esf is for multi cast paging... it currently won't let you play files... we would have to create a multicast playback application. /b On Feb 12, 2009, at 8:00 AM, Sluschny, Thomas wrote: > Hi, > > i want to stream a file per IP multicast with mod_esf. > > I can stream IP multicast with: > pa call stream XML > and in XML dialplan: > <extension name="stream"> > <condition field="destination_number" expression="^stream$"> > <action application="answer"/> > <action application="esf_page_group" data="224.168.168.168 34567"/> > <action application="esf_page_group" data=""/> > </condition> > </extension> > and i can also play files with 'playback' app, > > BUT: how can put these 2 things together? > > May be its trivial, but i cant get it make working with 'originate' > or 'uuid_broadcast' or 'bridge', 'transfer' and so on ... > > Thanks in advance, > Thomas

mod_conference scalability
by Brian 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hi, I'm new to FreeSWITCH and I'm testing the scalability of mod_conference to see if it will scale better that other solutions. My scenario is to have one speaker, and many listeners (mute). Since I have only one speaker, I was expecting this to scale well because there is no audio mixing required, just send each frame of the single speaker to each listener. Unfortunately, my testing was disappointing, and it didn't scale nearly as well as I'd hoped (based on what I've read on how FreeSWITCH is supposed to be generally very scalable). Here's my server setup is this: FreeSWITCH 1.0.4, 64 bit CentOS 5.3, on a quad-core Xeon server, 4 Gig of RAM. I've set file logging to "notice" level. My conference profile is configured to suppress several events, hoping that it would improve performance. Here are a few scenarios I tested, and roughly where I reached the point of audio failure on the conferences: Scenario 1: 1 conference, 1 speaker, audio failed at approx 300 listeners (mute) Scenario 2: 4 conferences, 1 speaker per conference, audio failed approx 110 listeners per conference (so just over 400 total channels on the system). Scenario 3: 16 conferences, 1 speaker per conference, audio failed at 32 listeners per conference (so just over 500 total channels on the system). Looking at the output from "top", it seems that in all 3 scenarios, the audio quality failed when the % CPU for the FreeSWITCH process exceeded 300%. I was hoping maybe someone else might have done similar testing, or maybe has suggestions on how to improve the performance. Or perhaps an alternate solution to the one speaker, many listener case? Thanks, Brian.

Set b-leg CallerID using from in a 300 Multiple Choices reply
by Joseph Waite 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Hi Guys I am trying to use the From field in a 300 Multiple Choices message to set the outbound CallerID in the re-directed b-leg So call comes into FreeSwitch, gets sent out to a SIP Redirect server which replies with a 300 Multiple choices. I need to pull the number from the From field of this 300 Response and use it to set the From field, raid & Paid fields in the re-directed invite. Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards

FS weird issue with TLS/SRTP and xml_curl on windows
by Bipin Patel 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

hi, i have two instances of FS running on a windows server, one is used for routing to carriers and that uses xml files and that works fine, the second instance is set up to allow clients to register to it using tls and srtp and users are authenticated using xml_curl which calls a php script which inturn sends the directory users details on a register from a client. The problem is every few hours or so FS stops accepting new clients unless i restart the service, i check the php script and the webserver and those are running just fine so no idea whats causing FS to stop calling the script or something else. -- Regards, Bipin ------------------------------------------------------------------------
