Conference Call Script

Recommended Posts

I should have gone out today. The weather was terrible, but hey!

Now, my wife has turned against me. (just kidding guys...)

Even my pillow hates me, as the country song goes.

CLAIMER: I am NOT A PROGRAMMER!!

But please post any improvements.

Scene is: I am overseas from the location of this conference. The conference provides a Skype-port, no SIP port.

I found the converted Call.vbs script (that 'AirWolf123' converted) and HEAVILY modified it to the point where it really just has a few lines of text which are the same.

Anyway, I've LOADS of paperwork to do, and not much time to do it in.

Meanwhile, I couldn't have my server not making it into these calls.

;All Settings are set at the top of the script, between [[[ and ]]]
; [[[ Change the following as needed:
;
; BEFORE using this script, there are a few prerequisites which stop your hair from falling out:
;
; You MUST have the following three (3) applications installed:
; 1) MP3 Skype Recorder (v1.9.0.1)
; 2) Skype (v4.2.x or 5.x)
; 3) AutoIt (v3.x).. naturally :)
; Not strictly necessary, but helpful and recommended:
; 4) pv.exe (sets the application priority), free, available from http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm. Put it in the computer's PATH.
; 5) pskill.exe (closes applications), free from microsoft. Run 'pskill.exe' once, you have to agree to the license terms. Put it in the computer's PATH.
;
; Configure MP3 Skype Recorder:
; 1A) Maybe you want to have the MP3 file saved into a specific folder, such as '\xyzconferencefolder'?
; 1B) Maybe you do not use MP3 Skype Recorder for recording ALL your daily Skype voice calls?
; 1C) If MP3 Skype Recorder RECORD=ON is normally set OFF, or if you forget to turn it ON, MSR will NOT record the call, UNLESS one follows the steps below.
;
;     If you do _nothing_ with MSR except install it, this script detects the missing MP3 Skype Recorder configuration, and the script runs anyway.
;
; To configure MP3 Skype Recorder:
; 1) Setup MP3 Skype Recorder at 32kbs, mono. Set a default recording file folder. Allow it to access Skype (look for alert in Skype)
; 2) Exit MP3 Skype Recorder. There is a preference file called 'user.config'. Copy this file to 'user.config.recordingonxyz' and
; 3) Modify the location in 'user.config.recordingonxyz' to be a custom recording folder for the conference recordings, so they are not intermingled with your
;    private phone calls.
;
$NameOfCall = "xyz conference" ; Give the call a name for your reference, like "xyz conference call".
;
; Set the following to be whatever recording preference file you created for MP3 Skype Recorder for this specific call/script
; e.g. $RecordingConfig = "user.config.recordingonxyz"
;
$RecordingConfig = "user.config.recordingonxyz" ; Set to -1 for no custom recording config, script will use your current config
;
; What file name should the MP3 Skype Recorder configuration be backed-up to while the call is in progress?
; Should _not_ need to change the following:
$BackupMSRConfig = "user.config.backup"
;
$ContactToDial = "skypeonferencing.com" ; Skype contact name or +12125551212 number in that format i.e. "+12125551212"
;
$IVRConferenceCommands = "12323#" ; Conference #. There is NO testing for NO conference number, you _must_ have a number in here, usually followed by #, e.g. 12323#
;
; Some conference systems have a additional 'press 1 to agree this call is being recorded'.
$IVRAdditionalCommands = -1 ; "1*" ; -1 ; Use -1 for no additional commands, otherwise enclose the dial-pad commands in quotes, e.g. "123#"
;
;
; Set %MaxmimumCallTime. We use the $MaximumCallTime for two reasons:
; A conference call to 6 hours is unusual, but when it does rarely happen, it's commonly because the host forgot to end the call or dropped-off.
; $MaximumCallTime is also used for testing this script, set to one or two minutes.
; Maximum call time in minutes. Call is forcibly disconnected after this time. Can be good if Host forgets to end the call.
;
$MaximumCallTime = 380 ; Typically 360 (minutes, 6 hours). 1 or 2 for script testing.
;
$MinimumCallTime = 100 ; Sometimes the Host has to restart the call early on or there are other troubles. The call should go on for at least $MinimumCallTime many minutes. Script redials if less than $MinimumCallTime.
;
; What status would you like Skype to be in after the call? Common choices are INVISIBLE, ONLINE, or DND.
$StatusAfterCall = "AWAY" ; status is always DND during the call.
;
; Do you want to have Skype restarted before dialling up? Re-starting can fix some call quality issues, break-ups half-way into a long call.
$RestartSkype = True
;
; If you use OpenVPN, do you want to turn off OpenVPN? (secure internet tunnel). If you are not sure, leave this as False (If you do not know, leave this as False)
$OpenVPN = False
;
; If you have a single-user system (like an ordinary single-user laptop) then the following TWO options are ordinarily False
$PSKillMethod = True ; _if you have a multi-user system with multiple people running Skype and MP3 Skype Recorder, AutoIt ProcessClose() function does not work_.
; Instead of ProcessClose(), we use the free third-party utility PSKill, which only 'sees' local user processes.
;
$AppsPath = EnvGet("PROGRAMFILES") ; you can use PROGRAMFILES as the basis for the folder of MP3 Skype Recorder, or set your
; own startup command for MP3 Skype Recorder, if you have a custom script
; $MP3RecorderPath = ($AppsPath & "\MP3 Skype Recorder\mp3 skype recorder.exe") ; or put in a custom path
$MP3RecorderPath = ("mp3high.cmd") ; custom mp3 launch path command.
$SkypePath = ("skypehigh.cmd") ; custom skype launch path command, only used if $SkypeCustomMount = True
;
$UserPath = EnvGet("USERPROFILE")
$RelayStatus = True ; 'Primitive' but functional inter-user communication method: if you have a multi-user system or use your own computer during the call and want to avoid drop-outs,
; .. the above as "True" can be used to create a file when the call is ended, which a separate AutoIt script (see below) runs under either the local AND/OR another user's account on the same computer, reducing priority of Firefox and other apps that may interfere. Also setting THEIR Skype to DND, thereby minimizing recording interference.
; $RelayStatus has significant use on older, single-core systems. Requires:
; 1) Decide on a common READ/WRITE location ($RelayStatusPath). All accounts must have access R/W.
; 1) Prior to running the main conference (this) script, in the common folder (below), make a blank text file and call it 'callstatus.txt'.
;
$RelayStatusPath = ("D:\yourcommonpath\callstatus\") ; MUST end in a slash. Should be a common user R/W location. MUST contain a 'callstatus.txt' file.
;
; Do _not_ change the next line from False unless you know what you are doing with it..
$SkypeCustomMount = False ; this is used when Skype runs from a specialized CMD script
;
; Do _not_ change the following setting unless you have a good reason,
;   i.e. the author of MP3 Skype Recorder updates the location of the configurations, Or
;   i.e. you have some language-localized version of Windows
;     This value doesn't typically vary from one computer to the next..
;
;     Unless alex (the guy who wrote MP3 Skype Recorder) updates his software and changes the ridiculously long path below, the default below works.
;

AD2010 10 02 some changes:

added pskill.exe method ; ProcessClose() does not work when there are multiple users logged into the computer, even regular users, and one of them runs this script and there are multiple instances of Skype.exe running, one in each account. For some reason, AutoIt can 'see' the other foreign processes and so refuses to close the one in the current session.

added the ability to put the conference call id # at the top of the script. It's not 'hardcoded' anymore into the function.

You MUST set a number here, usually it looks like "12345#" as the value.

added the ability to use an additional post-access-code number. See the notes.

Improved some cosmetic issues.

Hi!

AD2010 10 12 bunch more fixes

It's hardcore now. Won't drop the call for the first x minutes (defaults to 50).

If the Host even normally closes the call before $MinimumCallTime (x minutes) is up, it is presumed to be some kind of unwanted error/mistake, like the Host restarting the conference, and the script calls in again.

If the call ends anything other than 'finished' (normally) before $MaximumCallTime is up, it redials.

Regards!

AD 2010 11 03

Script modified:

Since the previous change during october, the script keeps dialing, no matter what, if the call ends before $MinimumCallTime is reached. One reason for the october-change is when the call ended due to certain error conditions, the script was not detecting the error from Skype: Skype would make a sound as though the call had failed, yet the script continued as though the call was finished normally. This may be a failure of the Skype4COM API interface, I don't know; I'm not making any claims, only conjecture.

As such, there is an additional need to have the script respond to a forced hang-up, for instance: when testing, or very unusually-short conference calls under the $MinimumCallTime, and to do post-call clean-up.

Also, the 'click to pause' feature of the script is not desired for the tray icon.

The AutoItv3 tray icon with the november update, has options modified to 'End call'. 'End call' can be checked right-away, as soon as the script is started. However the script will not test for the checked status, until the call has been fully set-up and at least dialed-in. THEN if 'End call' is checked, the call-disconnect and clean-up routine begins immediately.

The next script is a separate, second script to run, on _other_ accounts active at the same time on the same computer as the _recording_ account (Terminal Server or hacked XP box).

Start time is one minute _before_ the recording script.

; 'CALL ON OTHER ACCOUNT' adjusts local Skype status to DND, and lowers app priorities.
;
; Script continuously monitors for the existence of a 'callended.txt' file, and then terminates.
; Otherwise, every x seconds it sets the priority lower for local applications (like firefox) which otherwise would tend to 'spike' the system
; and cause recording problems.
;
; Add all the applications below you _do not want to interfere_, common ones are mozilla-based apps like Firefox.exe, thunderbird.exe
; Requirements:
; 1) The mutual location for the 'callended.txt' file, is assumed to be read/write by the recording user AND any users running this script.
; 1a) You have to create an empty text file called 'callstatus.txt' in the shared location. (see below for location)
; 2) pv.exe (sets the application priority), free, available from http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm
; 3) This script must start from Scheduled Tasks one minute _before_ the conference out-call script, and have a runtime one minute _longer_ than the conference script.
$NameonprogressBar = "Lowered app priority" ; title for progress bar, you can set this to whatever works for you. It's cosmetic. "Call in progress" might also work.
$MaximumCallTime = 382  ; 382, should be two minutes LONGER than the max-time in the conference call script, and begin 1 minute before.
                        ; example: this script starts at 9:54PM, conference script at 9:55PM and is 360minutes, this script should be 362 minutes
;
; $UserPath = EnvGet("USERPROFILE") ; not used
$RelayStatusPath = ("D:\yourcommonpath\callstatus\") ; $RelayStatusPath = ($UserPath & "\apps\scripts\"). MUST end in \
; Location of 'callstatus.txt', should be a common location where both accounts can read and write from.
;

; DO NOT CHANGE any of the following EXCEPT the list of apps (firefox, thunderbird, etc)
;// Create a Skype4COM object:
$oSkype = ObjCreate("Skype4COM.Skype")
$oSkypeEvent = ObjEvent($oSkype,"Skype_")

; 'CALL ON THIS ACCOUNT' adjusts only application priority during call (firefox, thunderbird, etc)
;
; Script continuously monitors for the existence of a file, and then terminates.
; otherwise, every x seconds it sets the priority lower for local applications (like firefox) which otherwise would tend to 'spike' the system
; and cause recording problems.
;
; Add all the applications below you _do not want to interfere_, common ones are mozilla-based apps like Firefox.exe, thunderbird.exe
; Requirements:
; 1) The mutual location for the 'callended.txt' file, is assumed to be read/write by the recording user AND any users running this script.
; 1a) You have to create an empty text file called 'callstatus.txt' in the shared location. (see below for location)
; 2) pv.exe (sets the application priority), free, available from http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm
; 3) This script must start from Scheduled Tasks one minute _before_ the conference out-call script, and have a runtime one minute _longer_ than the conference script.
$NameonprogressBar = "lower-app priority" ; title for progress bar, you can set this to whatever works for you. It's cosmetic.
$MaximumCallTime = 382  ; 382, should be two minutes LONGER than the max-time in the conference call script, and begin 1 minute before.
                        ; exempli gratia: this script starts at 9:54PM, conference script at 9:55PM and is 360minutes, this script should be 362 minutes
;
; $UserPath = EnvGet("USERPROFILE") ; not used
$RelayStatusPath = ("D:\yourcommonpath\callstatus\") ; $RelayStatusPath = ($UserPath & "\apps\scripts\")
; Location of 'callstatus.txt', should be a common location where both accounts can read and write from.
;

; DO NOT CHANGE any of the following EXCEPT the list of apps (firefox, thunderbird, etc)

; clean-up from previous runs
FileDelete($RelayStatusPath & "callended.txt")
