How to get the status of a failed playback about node-ari-client HOT 5 CLOSED

@praiseable , can you please provide the code or snippet , I am also facing the same issue.

from node-ari-client.

I'm surprised that play does not send an error status in this case. One thing to try is looking at the playback control object returned after play is called:

channel.play({media: 'sound:nope'}, playback).then(function (playbackControl) {
    console.log(playbackControl.state);  // state will contain the state of the playback
});

That might show some sort of failure state in your case.

FYI, the asterisk repo on github is a mirror only, please see [1] for creating issues against the Asterisk project itself.

Unfortunately, playbackControl.state isn't different from the one that a successful play has. My work-around is to measure the time period between PlaybackStarted and PlaybackFinished events. I've created an issue in the Asterisk jira, https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26661.

I verified that this is the case. What's more, the state of the playback on the PlaybackFinished event is done. I would say opening an issue against the Asterisk project itself is the correct move at this point.

I have done some changes at asterisk side code and now i am getting proper response. I can differentiate between actual file played successful and complete and when was unable to play successful then i got error response on PlaybackFinished.
I want to share my contribution with asterisk code i am finding a way to do that
