Deprecated: The recording API has been replaced by the new Noojee API.

The recording API will no longer be supported post the release of 4.0

Decoding

When you retrieve a call recording via one fo the recording api methods the resulting file is a base 64 encoded wav file and must first be decoded before a media player can use the file.

There are several methods which can be used to decode the returned base 64 file into a wav file. The following provides references for a number of environments.

Linux command line

The following command worked to successfully decode a downloaded recording

base64 -d tmp.64 > tmp.wav

The required base64 decoder is available here http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/base64/

PHP

For php programmers you can use the base64_decode method to decode the resulting file:

Java

For Java programmers you can use the Apache commons codec package:
