crashed.. garbled info in caller log

Opened this issue · 8 comments

i didnt bother posting entire caller log.. just the last bit... it looks like the caller information got garbled.. static maybe? but callattendant couldnt handle it and exited.. maybe needs like a protection that if it gets garble it cant exit.. maybe be able to log it seperatly when its garbled.. i dunno

but here is the log

callattendant error log.txt

What version are you running?
I looks like you still have some local mods which are interfering with normal operational timing.
Also, what (if anything) occurred in the the 6 minutes between the 2 log entries below - was it edited? There seems to be some missing logged data I would be expecting.

Jul 16 11:01:03 callerid callattendant[1193]: 192.168.0.12 - - [16/Jul/2024 11:01:03] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
Jul 16 11:07:19 callerid callattendant[1193]: [10B blob data]

how do i check the version ?? and i dont think i running my mods unless its the 1 line i might have put back in for something ill have to check but it should be just the orginal

and no there is no log enteries altered... what you see is what you get... there is blob data call attendant is reporting and then scrambles the phone number then crashs i guess due do the length of the phone number.. i was going to copy entire log but didnt think u wanted 2 weeks of phone calls so i just copied the last couple calls from the bottom..

how do i run version check? and update to latest version

i checked the code.. ya i had my code left in that just runs a command line but it wouldnt interfer with anything as it exports outside of the callattendant and doesnt run inside it just runs a dos command

but i took it out wont run again i forgot to remove it i was testing sometime a while ago..

i guess version is 2.0.4

in site packages it says
callattendant-2.0.4.dist-info

If you are running 1.7.3 or later, the version info is available by clicking on the the exclamation (!) on the main menu. If you are using MQTT, the only supported method is now part of v2 and later - v2.0.7 is latest.

I believe I had mentioned the fact that the way you were invoking mosquitto_sub by exec only stalls the main thread waiting for execution to finish so it is unable to properly timeout RING notifications and differentiate them from a hang-up.

I looks like the modem went off-hook and was receiving unsolicited audio data when it should have been waiting for another call. I don't know how that could of happened from the log data without enabling DEBUG.

i must have missed that comment.. but i removed it ...
so i looked in the config.. im runnin 2.0.4
and how do i update to 2.07 whats the easiest.. like apk update callattendant
and debug is still enabled

so the logs i sent ya were with debug enabled

here is the config file

i guessing maybe you cant update... maybe you need to uninstall and reinstall to get the latest version? re run all the install steps?

Updates work -- Just install the new version the same way you installed the current version. See:
#36 (comment)

If not one of these methods, use whatever works for you.

ok thanks updated to 2.0.7
wasnt sure how to update always learning something new everyday...
and least i didnt have to move database or anything like that...

i get alot of V194123123 numbers now too which is really annoying number starts with a V

hopefully this blob error doesnt come back
