[Freeswitch-users] Javascript: record ringing of session

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried a variety of options:
var mSession = new Session(endpoint_url);
var mSession = new Session("{ignore_early_media=false}" +  endpoint_url);

both only return after the session is answered (originated?).

The customer wants
"the number of seconds we wait for each user to pick up"
configurable, hence I use "originate_timeout". I noticed (by try and 
error) that this is the timeout that does the trick. The other timeout 
variables behaved differently.

I'm currently trying to see how I can do recording of the rings. If that 
clashes with this neat "originate_timeout" variable, I'll have to see 
what my options are.

I did read the http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Channel_Variables page, 
but to be honest, even with descriptions I don't really understand the 
implications of using these variables, sorry.


Thanks, Birgit
