Dear All,

I am using a little known but very useful channel variable called "playback_timeout_sec"

In Lua if I do: session:setVariable("playback_timeout_sec", "10")

and subsequently in a macro I have:

<action function="play-file" date="/some/filename.mp3" />

Then the filename.mp3 stops playing automatically after 10 seconds. This is very useful if you want to play short excerpts of a file that could be very long.

But if I do:

<action application="set" date="playback_timeout_sec=10" />

<action function="play-file" date="/some/filename.mp3" />

My file does NOT stop playing after 10 seconds. This is weird given that <action application="set" .. /> is doing exactly the same thing as session:setVariable() ... right?

My question

1. What could be the problem with application set?

2. Is there a way to automatically stop playback after a certain number of seconds for a file? (without doing tedious things like create a separate 10second version of an mp3 using ffmpeg etc.)

Thanks,

Sidharth

Yes data :-) checkout http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3142 for resolution... On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 6:04 PM, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:

I assume you mean data="..." not date="..."?
