 Alex, he was not asking why, it is obvious he knows why.

 He was asking for a solution or idea on how to work around this issue.

 Are you using Sangoma cards?  If so, I might have a very good answer
 for you, as well as another very possible different solution.  Both
 would be outside of Asterisk so some kind of magic would have to
 happen to associate the call being spied on to the channel but that
 should not be that difficult if you even need it.

 Another solution is to track down the code referenced here
 http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=9888 and modify chanspy to do a
 reinvite back to asterisk before starting the spy.

 Anyways, I am sure it can be done.  The question is how much time is
 it worth to make it happen.

 Maybe we should meet for lunch this week.  I can meet you in cow
 country or Philly if you want, your choice.  I have to go to both this
 week anyways and would like to catch up with things since Astricon.

 Thanks,
 Steve Totaro


I just confirmed that there is a solution that is perfect for this
that has been developed with a web interface to select the call to
monitor.  A little added code and you can pretty easily look up who
the agent handling the call is.

Let's test it out on your call center.  Again, it is not an Asterisk
app and would have no impact on your operations if it does not work.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

in sip.conf do canreinvite=no, and suddenly the audio is always 
available to asterisk.

[asterisk-users] chanspy does not pull the call back to asterisk after a reinvite

2008-01-29 Thread Franklin Webb
Hello all,

I am allowing a reinvite between a snom 320 phone and a SIP gateway to take 
load off my Asterisk server.  When I put the caller on hold, for example, 
Asterisk successfully reinserts itself into the rtp stream to play music on 
hold to the caller, but when I do a chanspy Asterisk does not seem to pull the 
call back.  If I am spying on a channel when the call build up happens the 
reinvite never occurs and it works, but I cannot jump in and spy on a call in 
progress once the reinvite has happened.

Has anyone run into this issue any maybe have a solution, or does anyone know 
of a good way to get that call back onto the Asterisk switch from another 
extension prior to calling chanspy?

Thanks much,

Franklin Webb
