I am having a issue. The recording function works. It records in and out. I get two separate audio files.

Issue 1: They are not compiled into 1 mix. Can this be solved from within fop2 or should I solve this from within asterisk?
Do you have any tips helping me in the right direction?

Issue 2: The recording won't show up in the tab. I can see the recording tab but nothing shows up. Also the database table is there but there a 0 rows in it. I guess this has to do with configuration of FOP2, do you have any directions for setting this?

I am using Asterisk 11.0.1.. I enabled the fop 2 config like this (for readability all explanation has been removed):

[EDIT] I am not using FreePBX. I am on a Asterisk only server. Setup from Tarball. So maybe it goes wrong when calling the amportal.conf because that's not availble for me. I am now going to adapt the recording_fop2.pl to make this work [/EDIT]

If you need anything else, please let me know!

I cannot get it to work. I deleted all the amportal.conf references in the recording_fop2.pl and I made sure that the config knows all the database variables. Still it records perfect. Only it won't combine the recordings and it won't show up in the fop2 interface.

Can you please help me? I don't know where to continu.

Below is my current recording_fop2.pl (I have the original file in backup)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Script to store recordings initiated by FOP2 inside a mysql table
# and move it to a destination folder. Together with the recordings.php
# aplication users will be allowed to browse/search/listen to recordings
# initiated by themselves or by administrators (all or queuemanager
# permission)

# In order for this script to work it must be owned by the same user
# asterisk is running as.
#
# You also have to check the locations of both sox and soxmix and
# the fop2.cfg file
#
# In fop2.cfg you MUST set the monitor filename and configurations to be:
#
# monitor_filename=/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/${ORIG_EXTENSION}_${DEST_EXTENSION}_%h%i%s_${UNIQUEID}
# monitor_format=wav
# monitor_mix=true
# monitor_exec=/usr/local/fop2/recording_fop2.pl
#
# The script must run on the same machine asterisk is installed. Be
# sure the DESTFOLDER exists and it is owned by the asterisk user.
#
# The script will insert records to the fop2recordings table in the
# fop2 database.
#
