Just been chatting to Ken Rice, his view (and he may be mistaken) is that it should fire the call back event in much the same way as DTMF does, however, it's not working. I used to develop with C/C++ for about 10 years, but that was 12 years ago. Very rusty. However, I'm going to look at the start_dtmf code and try to replicate the functionality in mod_vmd.
Regarding your suggestion, that wouldn't really work as I'm streaming a file. However, if memory serves me well, there is a timer function in C that you can set to run that can call a function. There is a function in js called setTimeout(time_func, 500) but sadly it's not available in spidermonkey. BTW this function would resolve a bounty on call duration timeouts Regards -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-boun...@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-boun...@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Michael Collins Sent: 12 February 2009 21:45 To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] js and VMD On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Nik Middleton <nik.middle...@noblesolutions.co.uk> wrote: > That makes sense, though could it not have a call back mechanism similar > to DTMF detect? > It probably could but the mod's author was using it exclusively from event socket. I personally added the channel variable code for the sake of testing. I'm sure this could be added but it's beyond my skills presently. I would recommend opening up a JIRA and requesting this functionality as an improvement. Perhaps the author, Eric Des Courtis, could add it or perhaps another skilled programmer could add this functionality. In the grand scheme of things it probably isn't that difficult and with a little time even I could figure it out. > I'm still not sure how I could use it even in an event socket.

As a proof of concept you could have your script loop and check the value of ${vmd_status} every 1000ms or so, and if it ever has the value "TRUE" then you know VMD was positive and you could hangup and do whatever other cleanup is necessary. That solution would be a temp fix even though it wouldn't actually scale very well. How are you handling answered calls now? Do you just start playing a message? I'm wondering how this would work even if there was a callback. Would you mind doing a pastebin of your script? I'd like to see the big picture. -MC > > The functionality I'm looking for is really simple. I simply don't want > to leave a voicemail message.
