If not sure if I am looking at a bug or expected behaviour as I do not see anything in the documentation. ControlPlayback can not replay complicated file names For example it can replay1005but it can not replay1005-2014-04-08_23:58:17 Playback can replay1005-2014-04-08_23:58:17 I suspect this relates to how the variables are parsed and parameters set. Does anyone have any further information to suggest what the limitations are around file naming? Thanks [/url] This email is free from viruses and malware because [url=http://www.avast.com/]avast!

Seems 'bug-worthy' to me.

Here's some more confusion using Asterisk 11.8.1:

Play a file with colons in the file name:

-- Executing [*@default:3] ControlPlayback("IAX2/6002-1095", "/tmp/2014-04-10-13:31:03") in new stack
-- <IAX2/6002-1095> Playing '/tmp/2014-04-10-13:31:03.slin' (language 'en')
-- ControlPlayback seek to offset 0 from end

1) There is no 'slin' file, only a 'wav.'

2) I didn't specify any offset. Note that 'core show application
controlplayback' does not mention anything about seek from end.

3) No audio is played.

Play a file with quoted colons:

-- Executing [*@default:3] ControlPlayback("IAX2/6002-106", "/tmp/2014-04-10-13\:31\:03") in new stack
-- <IAX2/6002-106> Playing '/tmp/2014-04-10-13:31:03.slin' (language 'en')
-- ControlPlayback seek to offset 0 from end

1) No slin file.

2) No offset.

3) No audio.

4) No quotes in 'Playing' message.

-- Executing [*@default:3] ControlPlayback("IAX2/6002-461", "/tmp/foo") in new stack
-- <IAX2/6002-461> Playing '/tmp/foo.slin' (language 'en')

1) Still no slin file.

2) /tmp/foo.wav is played, audio is heard.

So...

1) You should report it as a bug.

2) Eric's right -- you should not use colons in file names. Even if
controlplayback() allowed them, they always seem to cause problems
somewhere.

Many thanks for the testing. I have raised a bug report and we will see if
it gains any support.

The file name as you can imagine is generated from a set of variables, the
idea is to make life simple but if the replay tool doesn't support it the
reverse.

Interesting that Playback() supports complicated file names.

Regards

J

The colon freaks it out, this may be some parsing problem, I bet.

ControlPlayback can not replay complicated file names

For example it can replay
1005
but it can not replay
1005-2014-04-08_23:58:17

Playback can replay
1005-2014-04-08_23:58:17

I suspect this relates to how the variables are parsed and parameters set.

Does anyone have any further information to suggest what the limitations are around file naming?

Thanks
