So as y’all know, with your help I managed to get Opus installed at last. Yay!

With excitement, I wrote my dialplan, dialled in, and….

[Jan 28 21:30:11] ERROR[29977][C-0000001d]: format_ogg_opus.c:95
ogg_opus_rewrite: Cannot write OGG/Opus streams. Sorry 🙁
[Jan 28 21:30:11] WARNING[29977][C-0000001d]: file.c:468 fn_wrapper:
Unable to rewrite format ogg_opus

Any idea where I’m going wrong? I googled that error and can’t find it anywhere, nor can I find any notes about not actually being able to
*use* Opus once installed, so if anyone can point me to where I’ve gone wrong I’d be most grateful!

Thanks.

  • The opus support can only be used currently for reading files and for transcoding (for example one leg in g722 and the other in opus, or for conference mixing).

  • Oh. Ok, thanks for the quick response. Any idea of a workaround, or when it might be implemented? It’s just that most of the speech recognition services now prefer opus. I can transcode with Sox, but that just puts another (short) delay and process into pipeline. Not a complaint, just a question.

    Thanks.

  • I have no timeframe on when such a thing would be done. It’s not something that has been requested before to the best of my knowledge.
