Dear all Problem: Unable to record call after routing a call to the sip agent. I used manager api commands to originate, transfer and record the call. The file gets created but the conversation does not get stored on the file which was created. The command which i used to record the conversation is the following Action: Monitor Channel: sip/brekekeout-080808009(Respondent line) Format: gsm Mix: 1 Please help me to sort out the problem Regards Karthik ---

Hi I’m trying to record calls, but I don’t get it. What I’d like to do is that the caller or the called could start the recording by pressing \*1. I read something about it but I don’t know how extension.conf should look like. Should I modify any other file? Thank you all. ---

Have you looked at the features.conf ? and [voip-info.org](http://voip-info.org)[voip-info.org/wiki/index.php … tures.conf](http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+config+features.conf) Ian ---

Thank you very much for your answer. I read the information you referred me to. I saw the option ‘automon=\>\*1’ in features.conf. Only by uncomment it I will be able to record a call just by pressing \*1? Is that all I must do? Thanks. ---

Hi, to record calls I do in extensions.conf: [IncomingCall] exten =\> s,1,Set(CALLFILENAME=${EXTEN:1}${CALLERIDNUM}) exten =\> s,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME},m) … and in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/ you find all your CALLFILENAME Without do anything in features.conf. In my configuration i record all the call (Incoming and outgoingCall) and if you have any questions I can help you. And please if you read my Messsage (Subject “send sms with asterisk”) I’m awaiting your kind reply. 😊☹ ``` Sanaâ ``` ---

Hi Sanaâ, Thank your for your answer, I’ll try what you suggested. Unfortunately I’m too new in the asterisk world and I need to study a lot more. If I find an answer to your problem I’ll tell you. See you! ---

Hi All, ``` How to record a conversation after the conversation has started? Can we achive it with Manager API instead of using features.conf? ``` Regards Karthik ---

When I record my calls all I get is empty wav files… at some point I modified the extensions.conf file and got to record the ringing but not the call itself, can someone please point me in the right direction? my script works fine on an \* 1.2.3 box, but not on \* 1.4.0 ---

Hi, I was finally able to record calls. In extensions.conf I have: exten=\>2030,1,Set(MONITOR\_EXEC=/etc/asterisk/soxmixwav.sh) exten=\>2030,2,Set(CALLFILENAME=/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/${EXTEN}) exten=\>2030,3,Answer exten=\>2030,4,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME},M) exten=\>2030,5,Dial(SIP/2030,10,Ttr) exten=\>2030,6,Hangup With this I get two different files in /var/spool/asterisk monitor Typing soxmix file1.wav file2.wav out.wav I get a file with whole conversation. I’d like to start recording the call when either the caller extension or the called extension dial \*1. I’ve tried what I’ve read but I don’t get it to work. Any suggestion will be apreciated. Thank you. ---
