( 1) ari-playback.py
Description:Given I have a channel in Stasis (not in a Bridge)
When I answer the channel
When I try to play a non-existing sound file with a wrong scheme some:thing on the channel, like this:
{{POST http://asterisk:5039/ari/channels/1579822274.0/play?media=some%3Athing&playbackId=someid}}
When I get the playback info like this: {{GET http://asterisk:5039/ari/playbacks/someid}}
Then I sometimes get a status code 500 with the following error message:

{noformat}

Expected: I get a status code 200 or 404

Reproduction: This issue only happens occasionnally. Attached is a small Python script that tries many times to reproduce the issue. I can reproduce 9/10 times with this script.

Technical investigation: Debug logs do not give any more useful information. When reproducing, in {{res_stasis_playback}}, in the function {{stasis_app_playback_to_json}}, I have the following values :

{noformat}
playback->id == someid
playback->media == some:thing
AST_VECTOR_GET(&playback->medias, playback->media_index + 1) == (null)
playback->target == channel:1579822274.0
playback->language == en
state_to_string(playback->state) == playing
playback->media_index == 1
AST_VECTOR_SIZE(&playback->medias) - 1 == 0
{noformat}

The {{media_index > AST_VECTOR_SIZE(&playback->medias) - 1}} seems to be the cause of the wrong branch condition causing the JSON to be packed with a NULL string.

Here is a reproduction script using ari-py. The script requires a channel inside a Stasis application. It will then repeatedly play a non-existing sound file on the channel.

[~sduthil], can you see if the [attached patch|^0001-res_stasis_playback-Prevent-media_index-from-going-o.patch] fixes the problem for you?
By: Sébastien Duthil (sduthil) 2020-01-30 16:39:39.322-0600

Hi Sean,

I can confirm that the patch fixes the problem for me. Without the patch, I could reproduce 9/10 times. With your patch, I reproduced 0/10 times.

Thank you!
