Hello again,

This looks like you've put the whole path to the file in the dialplan, perhaps something like

<action application="set" data="${python(/usr/lib/python2.7/getplayfile.py ${uuid})}"/>.

If this is the case, it's incorrect. Python has internal paths for module loading and /usr/lib/python2.7 should be in them.

This should be sufficient:

It should pickup the path and the extension on its own.

P.S. I seem to have an error in the example from the previous email, it's trying to open /tmp/ and not //nfs/th/play,

you should edit it in case you copy-pasted 1:1

Kind regards,

Iskren Hadzhinedev

Hello Iskren

I have followed the instructions told by you and executing the pythoon file from the dial plan,but some issues are arised in loading the files

Hello Nikhitha,

I have a similar scenario and I'm using mod_python. It's a bit more complicated, but it is very fast and reliable. If you have that module, you can use the following as a solution:

1) Create a file getplayfile.py with the following contents:

-- Copy below --

import freeswitch

def handler(session, args):

pass

def fsapi(session, stream, env, args):

with open("/tmp/%s" % args, "r") as f:

stream.write(f.readline().rstrip('\n'))

-- End copy --

2) Place that file somewhere in the python path, for centos 6.5 that's /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages, 64bit systems use /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

3) Modify your dialplan:

P.S. I'm pretty sure the same can be done with mod_lua or mod_perl, but I'm not using them so I can't provide a solution.

Kind regards,

As you told here the performances are unacceptable , I dont want the live caller to experience such issues.So how to overcome this issue and can you tell me what are the other approaches that solve the problem by increasing and not by increasing the complexity.

Nikhitha,

I doubt that the poor response time is caused by the script itself. For example, from the shell, time your script using "time <script.sh>". You will probably get a time around 10ms. This should not be a concern, and would be difficult to improve.

The problem most likely is the choice of using 'system'. A system() call is an expensive choice in terms of performance. There is a lot of overhead going on in the operating system in the process.

You can perform a few quick tests to see where your issue lies: Use the freeswitch logs to see what the total time of the system call is, and then use the "time <script.sh>" to see what the time is from the shell. I think you will find that the issue is "system" and not the script itself.

Is the performance unacceptable because a live caller experiences an unacceptable pause? If so, can you run the system command prior to the start of the script? There are other approaches to solve your problem, but they increase in complexity.

Ian.

Thank you for the reply that worked for me and I have one more doubt.

While executing a shell script from the dial plan it is consuming much time to execute that script.How can i overcome this problem in reducing execution time of shell script when used in dial plan.

Nikhitha,

You are using 'sed' to print the first line (head -1), which will include a line return.

This will work:

Create a shell script "getplayfile.sh" and in your dialplan use:

data="RESULT=${system getplayfile.sh}"

The shell script can use tr to strip out the end of line as follows:

sed -n 1p /nfs/th/play/${uuid} | tr "\n" "\0"

In freeswitch as I am setting the variable like this

<action application="set" data="RESULT=${system sed -n 1p /nfs/th/play/${uuid}}" inline="true"/>

Here i am trying to assign the wav file path to the variable,but here the problem is it is getting assigned as

2014-05-08 13:34:56.659049 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:1402 sofia/internal/1002@192.168.0.106 SET [RESULT]=[/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/directory/8000/dir-for_prev.wav

]

The variable RESULT is not being set properly,The closing square bracket is coming to the new line as it should be in the same line immediately after the path.So while playing the wav file it is showing the error as

2014-05-08 13:34:56.679046 [ERR] switch_core_file.c:150 Invalid file format [wav

] for [/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/directory/8000/dir-for_prev.wav

]!

Can anyone help me in solving this issue.Thanks in advance
