Magic Tips - Updates and shared Info Asterisk and VOIP

TIP: Battling to find a script to compress those voice recordings? Simply do this and get maximum compression : Use capital WAV for the file format with the MixMonitor() instead of lower case wav :

MixMonitor(filename.WAV,b)

TIP: Want to rotate the usage of DAHDI trunks ? Use the r flag instead of the g flag to indicate you'd like to rotate the group :

exten => 0.,1,Dial(DAHDI/r1/${EXTEN},,r).

TIP: Find it frustrating when your recordings fork once the call get transferred, resulting in more than one file for the telephone call ? Negate this by adding this line BEFORE the Dial() Application :

exten => s,n,Set(AUDIOHOOK_INHERIT(MixMonitor)=yes)

TIP: Let's use the hangup extension to display why the call was ended but add the translated reason to a Verbose() statement :

Step 1: add this to the [context] where your calls get made/ended in extensions.conf

exten => h,1,Set(MYHANGUP=${DB(HANGUPCAUSE/${HANGUPCAUSE})})

exten => h,n,Verbose(0,Reason for Hangup : ${MYHANGUP})

Copy and paste this in your in CLI>
