Re: [listener] Changing listener file type

You use the "exec = somescriptname" in the listener.conf file to execute a script to make your conversion.

listener hands the script the fully qualified path to the output file to be used in the conversion.

I created the following wav2mp3 script to convert and store the output wav file into an mp3 file.

The wav file is stored temporarily in place specified in the listener.conf as the "wav_path ="

I create directories for the month and day to store each file, seperate the file name from the path,

convert the file name from .wav to .mp3, build the output path and filename, pass the infile and

outfile to lame for conversion to mp3 and then delete the input .wav file.

>#!/bin/bash
>DEST="/var/recorder/ch1"
>DAY=`date +%Y-%b-%d`
>MONTH=`date +%Y-%m`
>echo "month/day" $MONTH/$DAY
>       if [ ! -f $DEST/$MONTH ] ; then
>               mkdir $DEST/$MONTH > /dev/null 2>&1
>       fi
>       if [ ! -f $DEST/$MONTH/$DAY ] ; then
>               mkdir $DEST/$MONTH/$DAY > /dev/null 2>&1

Subject: [listener] Changing listener file type

I'm using listener 9.0, it works perfectly congratulations!
Now I'm trying to create a script that would run inside listener source to
change the wav files to speex files. I would appreciate If you show me what
part of the source would be better to insert this script. Thanks for the
attention.
