Will McCown commented on ASTERISK-22489:
----------------------------------------

I'll second Jonathan's request.

I am in the process of migrating our existing meetme() based conferencing to confbridge() and also ran into this problem.  We had built a system where a unique filename was generated (by adding a timestamp) and that filename recorded in a userfield in the cdr.  A periodic cron script then queries the cdr database and retrieves the name of the recording, converts the wave to mp3 then emails it to the owner of the conference room.  We can certainly modify the script to do a wildcard search for recordings in the spool directory instead, but that is going to take some work.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Applications/app_confbridge
>    Affects Versions: 11.2.2, 11.5.1
>         Environment: Centos 6.4
>            Reporter: Jonathan White

> I am setting the confbridge record file name with the following dial plan command
> {noformat}
> same =>n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(bridge,record_file)=/var/spool/asterisk/confbridge/${file})
> {noformat}
> The result being /var/spool/asterisk/confbridge/test.wav as seen on the console
> but the file which is produced comes out as /var/spool/asterisk/confbridge/test-1378328852.wav 
> The last part of the file name appears to be a random number.
> In previous versions of confbridge the file would have been the name I had told it to be
> /var/spool/asterisk/confbridge/test.wav
> I find no evidence of this being a new feature. If it is, the confbridge.conf sample configuration file needs to be updated to include the new available features. If it is not a new feature and it is a bug I am ready to assist getting it fixed.
> [Edit by Rusty Newton - added text below:]
> I don't think the code needs to change as this behavior was introduced to fix a bug, but we do need to document the behavior, both in the .conf sample file and the XML documentation in the source (for Asterisk 12). See comments for more info.
