[asterisk-users] problem when exiting from "record file" function without pressing the escape digit

[Sammy Govind]

Hey,

How are you starting the recording? MixMonitor? or Monitor? or some option
in an application?
If you are using MixMonitor or anything alike then you should
StopMixMonitor when the call hits the "h" extension.

Paste your dialplan relevant to the recording scenario to suggest you
something better.
