Hi,

I would like to know if the following scenario is possible with Freeswitch:

A connection is established between two endpoints ( soft phones). On one end, someone presses *1, a BEEP that indicates the beginning of recording is heard, and then Freeswitch starts to record. I can get recording to work with the following line from wiki:

<action application="bind_meta_app" data="2 a s record_session::$${base_dir}/recordings/${caller_id_number}.${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}.wav"/>

In order to generate the BEEP tone, I would need the bin_meta_app to execute two actions, one to gnerate the BEEP and the other to recrod.

How can I change the dialplan to do that?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

you can bind to execute_extension app and point it at an extension you setup just for that which plays a beep then starts recording. execute_extension lets you execute any extension like it was a little program.

FYI, check this page out:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_execute_extension

Just remember the difference between "transfer" and "execute_extension"
Transfer will go and never come back
Execute_extension will go "run" an extension like a subroutine and then come back

Happy dialplanning!

Hi,

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I actually did try to put the "read" app in a separate extension, but what happened was that when *1 was pressed, Freeswitch would play MOH and both both soft phone couldn't hear each other anymore. After MOH is played, Freeswitch just continues to place it forever. What I need is for the record to take place at the background without interrupting the existing call. That part can be accomplished by using
<action application="bind_meta_app" data="2 a s record_session::$${base_dir}/recordings/${caller_id_number}.${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}.wav"/>

In addition to that, the party that presses *1 would hear a BEEP sound, indicating the beginning of the recording.

I think the problem may due to a misconfigured dialplan, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

Here is my dialplan:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<document type="freeswitch/xml">
<section name="dialplan" description="Redirect to agent dialplan">

</condition>

</condition>
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^record" break="on-true">
<action application="record" data="/mnt/app/recordings/${caller_id_number}.${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}.wav"/>
</condition>
</extension>
</context>
</section>
</document>

The Freeswitch log shows that it plays a MOH after *1 is pressed, which is not what I want:

are you using "record" or "record_session"? The latter is a background record where the former is a foreground record.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your reply. It solves the problem. Just one more thing. Is it possible to have Freeswitch not to play moh when *1 is pressed? In the following log, the moh is always played after *1 is pressed and before the execution of the new extension:

you could set the moh on that channel to "hold_music=silence"
<action application="set" data="hold_music=silence"/>
