Hello everyone,

If you’re tired of restarting Polycom phones every January 1st to restore BLF, I may have a fix. I’m looking for a few beta testers who can validate it on live systems (or test environments) to confirm:
  • BLF continues working after the system clock rolls over into the new year, and
  • the fix doesn’t introduce any regressions with existing BLF behavior.
New FS PBX installations include the fix upon installation.

Existing installations: apply the update​

To apply the fix on an existing install, recompile FreeSWITCH by running:

Code: 
cd /var/www/fspbx
bash install/install_freeswitch.sh

Then restart FreeSWITCH:
Code: 
service freeswitch restart
If you’re able to test this, please share your results (especially after January 1st).

Happy Holidays from the FS PBX team!
 
Feedback from my test environment. I set my server time to 11:55 pm Dec 31, rebooted freeswitch, and pointed my Polycom phone to it. After 12 AM on Jan 1 when the phone refreshed its SUBSCRIBE, the BLF function broke until the phone rebooted.

I then patched the server, set the server time to 11:30 PM Dec 31, rebooted freeswitch so that it picks up the new time, and pointed my Polycom phone to it. After 12 AM on Jan 1 when the phone refreshed its SUBSCRIBE, everything was fine! I let it sit for a few more hours to confirm.

So far so good. Just need to roll this out in production and see how it acts now

Thank you!
