[Asterisk-Users] Monitoring Conferences

[mattf]

Use the manager API to send a call from the meetme room to an extension that
does Monitor for a specified period of time. That is how we do it in the
astGUIclient suite and it works great.

; extensions.conf entry:
; this is used for recording conference calls, the client app sends the
filename
;    value as a callerID, recordings go to /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
exten => 8309,1,Answer
exten => 8309,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 8309,3,Wait,3600
exten => 8309,4,Hangup


Manager Command:
Action: Originate
Channel: Local/68600012 at default
Context: default
Extension: 8309
Priority: 1
CallerID: FilenameGoesHere1234

I have benn having trouble with the Monitor Command.
 
Basically any time that I send a call into a MeetMe room I am only able to
monitor half of the conversation.
File-in is recorded with the incoming voice but file-out does NOT record
anything.
I have tried this with both the b and m option as well as without any
options to the MeetMe command.
Also the Monitor correctly records both sides of the channel when I do not
send the channel to a MeetMe room (send them to another extension).
 
The only thing I can think may be wrong is that for some reason the call is
never considered "bridged" when I send the call directly to a MeetMe room.
 
Any Ideas?  Are there any ways to record a MeetMe room when there is more
than one channel connected?
 
Thanks
 
Michael
