Hi.  I am having a serious problem making record_session work properly in my dialplan -- it records fine using meta-app, but if I turn it off and on, it overwrites the previous file with the same time and date when the meta-app was invoked.  Is there anyway to make the time the current time so it would give another file?

Thanks for any ideas.

OK, I had the following problems executing your idea -- I am sure its because I don't know what I am doing, but only way to learn! When I did the bind_meta_app to the start_recording_extension it worked after a fashioni.e. it started a new file, but kept the old one going. Now what I tried after that was I figured if I could execute record_session with the same file name again it would close the file and all things would be good. In order to do this, I tried to set a variable to false record_in_progress and execute an extension in that one which would set it to true and if I hit the key again the variable would be true and then it would close the file. However what I ran into was that from the extension called stop_recording where I have a condition for the variable to be true, and an anti-application to set it to true if it were false the set takes place, but the variable never actually gets set. I see the set, but if I log the variable its still false. So what am I doing wrong here? Here are the two extensions I wrote: <extension name="start_recording"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^start_recording$"> <action application="execute_extension" data="stop_recording"/> <action application="set" data="record_fn=$${recordings_dir}/${caller_id_number}.${real_destination_number}.${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}.wav" /> <action application="record_session" data="${record_fn}"/> </condition> </extension> <extension name="stop_recording"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^stop_recording$" /> <condition field="record_in_progress" expression="^true$"> <action application="record_session" data="${record_fn}"/> <action application="set" data="record_in_progress=false"/> <anti-action application="set" data="record_in_progress=true"/> </condition> </extension> with a meta_bind_app bound to start_recording. Any ideas would be appreciated. covici@ccs.covici.com wrote:

I am still working on it -- got some ideas from people on the conference. Rob Morin <rmorin@blie-ent.com> wrote:

Two items, one for John, and one for the community:

1. Did you (John) ever get this working?

2. There has been discussion that if the calls are g729, that 2*n licenses are required (where n is the number of legs on a conference call). Would it be possible, and legal, to use an implementation such as this to create an extension that gets recorded such that the number of licenses required to record a conference call would be n+1, rather than n*2?

Thank you, Rob Morin

Requiring 2*n g729 licenses because of the way it is built into the conference is exactly the point. I'm wondering, is there legally a way to alter the implementation such that n+1 is the proper number of licenses? Would creating a "phantom channel" for the recording achieve that?
