[Announcement] Native call recorder available now - maemo.org

dpurgin | # 1 | 2014-10-30, 02:58 | Report

Hi,

A new version of the native call recording application for SailfishOS is publicly available now. Current version is 0.6.1. I've put it onto openrepos.net and my personal page on github.io.

Please note that it requires SailfishOS >= 1.1.2, otherwise it won't record any calls.

Up-to-date information on usage, known issues and troubleshooting is available at project wiki.

Approximate release dates and planned features are available at Milestones page.

The 0.6.1 is a minor update. New features are:

Landscape orientation (#28).

Bug fixes are:

Length displayed incorrectly for recordings over an hour in length (#34).

Other notable changes:

Danish translation (new);
Finnish translation complete;
Slovak translation (new).

Known issues:

Greek translation is incomplete;
Hebrew translation was submitted but there's a Hebrew font lacking in SailfishOS, and no tests were held for RTL languages.

Please help to translate the call recorder to your language at Transifex.

Please feel free to ask any questions not covered by the wiki mentioned above, propose new features, tell how to improve existing ones.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Dmitriy

Used your callrecorder v0.1-1, just updated to v0.2-2. Thank you for your good work! Flac is awesome!

Application doesnt record incoming sound when using headphones, but it's probably not your fault.
Just one request: removing recordings, please

[QUOTE=dpurgin;1445096]Nevertheless it does what it has to do - records all incoming and outgoing voice calls.

Please feel free to ask any questions not covered by the document mentioned above, propose new features, tell how to improve existing ones./QUOTE]

First a big thank you for focusing on the completion of the basic features of a telecom centered device!

(remembering this discussion: It could not be done but that's ok because its a security feature not to record calls)

Future feature request:

one of the shortcomings of N900 call recorders (Recaller and Orechiette) is that they do not record SIP calls.

Jolla has already provided an easy solution to the issue by not including integrated SIP support. Thus effectively breaking with an excellent Nokia telephone tradition that was still alive in the spiritual Sailfish predecessors Maemo & Harmattan.

Suppose the issue of SIP get fixed by community or by Jolla, do you see a possibility to support call recordings over the whole line?

Another desirable feature would be the ability to assign only certain numbers from the contact list to be recorded.

For me working fine. No problem with switching to bt headset during the call. The whole call is recorded. backend working perfect. would be fine to polish frontend, delete recordings from the ui etc. many thanks from Berlin!

Hi all,

thanks for all your comments.

Regarding recording while switched to headphones
I'm onto it and seems like just didn't get far enough last time. In some sense it is the issue on the pulseaudio side but it actually can be worked around (at least the way I think of works with plain pacmd calls). I'll try it in harbour-callrecorder this weekend and see what happens.

Regarding VoIP calls
harbour-callrecorder currently focuses on GSM calls only. I don't use VoIP, so totally don't know what's happening there. But I can surely look into it in the future as soon as there will be software/services for it.

[B]UI functionality, features, etc[B]
Anything you ask, guys

I've added all the requests I've seen to github issue tracker, feel free to add yours.

explit, thanks for info regarding BT headset, I didn't know it worked, adding it to README. Würde gerne einmal Berlin besuchen.

Another thing that needs to be tested -- multiparty calls. I never had a chance to do it and check what's going on the system.

Please keep using, proposing, advising, criticising

Thanks

I have a problem with enabling service at boot. This fail every time :
[nemo@Jolla ~]$ systemctl --user enable harbour-callrecorderd
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
[nemo@Jolla ~]$

However I'm able to start the service and use the application.
[nemo@Jolla ~]$ systemctl --user status harbour-callrecorderd

Hi,

did you try reboot the phone or do

Code:

$ systemctl --user daemon-reload

If it didn't help, can you please do:

Code:

$ pkcon install strace
$ strace -o ~/strace.log systemctl --user enable harbour-callrecorderd

and send strace.log here
