[Asterisk-Users] agi channel status

[Danish Samad]

Hi,

 I have developed a custom agi and connect to it by placing a call through a
sip phone. The agi issues the "STREAM FILE" command from a number of places
in code to play out prerecorded messages. The problem is if the agi tries to
play a file, using the STREAM FILE command, after the caller has dropped the
call,  the agi crashes midway.

After issuing a "agi debug" command on the console here is what I observed.
1. Whenever a caller drops a call no interrupt is fired from asterisk to the
agi to notify a hangup event. This prevents me from taking precautionary
measures before issuing any command.

2. Even after the caller has dropped the call, I still see  an active
channel (verified using the "show channels" command).  This is probably due
to the fact that the agi is still connected.

3. When I send the STREAM FILE command from my agi this is what is shown on
the asterisk console:

AGI Rx << STREAM FILE file1 "#" 0
Mar  6 23:50:22 WARNING[5978]: file.c:583 ast_readaudio_callback: Failed to
write frame
AGI Tx >> 200 result=-1 endpos=6400
Spawn extension ........ exited non-zero on 'SIP/101-6600'

As I understand, when asterisk receives the STREAM FILE command its has no
channel to play it to and hence the warning is issued.
Asterisk does send a -1 result but straight away kills the agi process ( I
deduce this from the last line) which causes the agi to crash.

Now I am totally clueless on how to handle such erroneous conditions. Any
help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Danish
