Hello Asterisk list, Hope you are all doing well!

We are using the MixMonitor application to record the calls and under some situations the call can be spied using ChanSpy with whisper enabled. Sometimes the spying channel is a person who can interact in the call, and some other times it is a sound file playing a message. The problem is that for some reason the MixMonitor does not record whatever is injected via whisper in the call. It records only the call itself… I’ve done some research and apparently the Monitor application would be able to record everything (but I didn’t verify it myself)…. Anyway why MixMonitor can’t?
Also does anyone have an idea on how to record everything in the same file?

Thanks, Kind regards, Patrick Wakano

  • i am having same problem on Asterisk 13. MixMonitor does not record whisper or barge audio from ChanSpy. only call audio us recorded. hope someone can help.

  • The implementation was never written to allow this and no feature added to control it. Someone would need to go into the code, define what needs to happen and how it can be controlled, and implement it (in regards to MixMonitor and ChanSpy).

  • Thanks for the reply Joshua!
    I did look the code, but it’s too complicated for my old C knowledge 🙁
    So I guess I am left with the Monitor app…. Also a ConfBridge would also work instead of ChanSpy with whisper….
