Asterisk may be treating the entire recording as silence. What happens if you set the maxsilence to some valid integer value? Does it end the voicemail messages while you're "leaving" it? If so, that might indicate that it isn't detecting any sound. If you set minduration/maxsilence and Asterisk starts killing recordings and not saving files, that will also tell you if Asterisk believes the recordings are mostly silence. > > I don't, but this configuration worked before I upgraded from 1.6.x > to 10.x.

There are a couple of reasons for that: while it would be possible to have multiple formats stored in ODBC/IMAP backends, that doesn't solve all of the problems with associating an audio file with a video file. For example, some soft phones allow you to start the video media stream after the audio media stream has already begun. This will work fine during the video call; however, if the video/audio is stored as a voicemail message, Asterisk has no way to associate the beginning of the video file with some arbitrary point in the audio file. Hence, when the video message is played back, the video will be out of sync with the audio - both are played back starting at the same time, but the soft phone didn't start sending the video at the beginning of the audio. The solution to this would be to store the audio/video as a single file in a media container (such as Matroska). Not only does this solve the audio/video sync issue, but now you don't need to store more then a single file in a storage backend. Unfortunately, this is an extremely non-trivial effort. -- Matthew Jordan Digium, Inc. | Software Developer 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
