Documentation Issue Re Media

[Pcrossley69]

The help file doesn't indicate whether the media file is for playing or recording recording media
It would be helpful if both input and output media were supported

There is also no indication of media types supported - can it plat/record wav ?

P.S. Thanks for this tool - I have been looking for a replacement for Sipcmd2 and this looks ideal.

It can play only wav, but it must match same sampling rate as codec used.
Tool does only encoding here.

Thanks for sharing thoughts.

Thanks for the quick response.
I have a WAV file which works with sipcmd2 using G711a. It doesnt work with gophone

I'm using media=Filename

But it isn't playing - is my syntax incorrect?

Feature request:

I'm a trainer and try to use demonstrations whenever possible when teaching SIP.

I'd like to play a message then record a second message and play it back in the same session.
I can do this using Sipcmd2 but noone seems to be developing that now and it has some limitations which gophone seems to improve upon.

I see from your timeline that recording is a feature you are working on so I thought I'd mention it.

Thanks again for your quick reply

@Pcrossley69 if you can send me file I can look.
Recording will be added, yes. There is already code, just not my focus to finalize this.

My audio files are ok with Sipcmd2 This is the spec *WAV file requirements:* - mono - 8 kHz sampling rate - 16 bits sample size

Aah, syntax is media=file=filename ;)

[Pcrossley69]

Thanks for that. I did start the thread as a suspected documentation issue. I notice that your examples include piping commands to stdin. Have you got a full list of accepted commands?

Hi @Pcrossley69 Only what is provided as example for now. Transfers, call on hold, forwarding, start/stop recording could be added, but this requires dev time. My guess this is what are you aiming, but for now I had no need for this.

[Pcrossley69]

Thanks for that. Ive now got the audio file to play. It would however be nice if I could get it to play in a loop. If you do update the documentation perhaps you could stress that audio files require a .wav extension. Thanks again

Feel free to open any issue or feature you would like. Documentation yes it is a must. I will leave this open to add that. I think playing files could be done better, and we need to split input/output controls at some point. Still I want users not to deal with complex flagging, when use cases are low.

[Pcrossley69]

I've opened a few feature requests as you suggested.
Thanks again, I think this could be a really useful teaching aid, particularly because of the way you display the log messages.
