Good evening eveyone. Before all, it was a pleasure to be at Asterisk 25th anniversary in FLL last week. My question today is about MixMonitor : I would like to stop recording one specific channel but keep recording the other one. Of course I know the Pause/UnpauseMonitor AMI command (Yes @jcolp I’m still an AMI user 😄 ) but it stops all the channels. Any idea ? ---

Define channel. Asterisk channel? If so, MixMonitor doesn’t stop all channels. It stops what is specified. ---

Sorry, I misspoke : I do a MixMonitor on a bridged channel so MixMonitor record both in and out channels. I would like MixMonintor to stop recording one specific channel of the bridge scenario : a call comes in (channel pjsip/trunk-xxxxx), the dialplan dials ext 300 and bridge the call so we have pjsip/trunk-xxxx bridged to pjsip/300-yyyyy and MixMonitor recording both. I would like to stop recording pjsip/trunk-xxxxx and continue recording pjsip/300-yyyyy ---

MixMonitor is recording audio flowing for a single channel, specifically generally each direction. It’s not recording each channel itself. If you stop MixMonitor then you stop the recording. You’d need to start a new one up on the other channel. ---

Right! I misunderstood the concept. My bad. So my question is: can I choose to record in or out audio stream ? ---

You can choose when MixMonitor is invoked to record them separately. You can’t alter that afterwards. The most I can think of is using MixMonitorMute to mute a specific direction so that direction is no longer recorded. ---

Of course the MixMonitorMute is my solution…thank you so much. I need to get my brain back from Fort Lauderdale… Have a nice day ---
