Billsec zero in cdr with meetme

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hello. I am using call files to initiate conference calls. Here is an example:

Channel: Local/********** Context: phones MaxRetries: 3 WaitTime: 60 RetryTime: 180 Extension: 601 CallerID: Conference room <601> SetVar: Confnum=283 SetVar: TIMEOUTSEC=90

Everything works fine, except that billsec in the CDR is always zero:

The relevant part of the dialplan is:

exten => 601,1,Wait(2) exten => 601,n,Playback(welcome) exten => 601,n,Playback(conf-placeintoconf) exten => 601,n,Playback(conf-thereare) exten => 601,n,MeetMeCount(601) exten => 601,n,Playback(conf-peopleinconf) exten => 601,n,MeetMe(601,M) exten => 601,n,Hangup()
Any idea of how to get billsec updated properly?

Regards
Ian

I had the same issue, but don’t remember how I’ve fixed it :blush:
Check if there’s new asterisk version, maybe it’s a bug.

I am using 1.6.2.13. Perhaps you could try something to jog your memory (exercise, alcohol, sex…)?

I have found a solution. You have to use the /n option with the local channel in the call file, e.g.
