[SR-Users] How to get the audio codec used for each established call.

Hello,

there can be many codecs that are selected/offered via SDP, the one
actually used can be seen in the RTP headers, but Kamailio doesn't relay
RTP itself.

If you know that in your deployment there is going to be only one codec
selected via sdp, then the right place is to take it from the SDP of
200ok, when the INVITE request has SDP, or from ACK SDP if the 200ok was
the first with SDP. It is in the media (m=) line, which has the format:

m=<media> <port> <transport> <format list>

For example

m=audio 11424 RTP/AVP 8 101

The the next line should give the first codec id:

$(rb{line.sw,m=}{s.select,3, })

Note that there is a space after '3,'. If doesnt work, try:

$var(s) = " ";

$(rb{line.sw,m=}{s.select,3,$var(s)})

Read more about used transformations at:

However, you may need to do further processing if you want the name of
the codec, specially for those that have dynamic id, so you need to find
the mapping in the a=rtpmap line.

You can use embedded scripting (lua, python, javascript, ... see the
app_NAME modules) to parse the body ($rb variable) and extract what you
want from there, then set back in an variable (recommended $avp() or
$xavp()) that you set to extra accounting parameter of acc module.

Cheers,
Daniel
