H.323 p2p media
by J.C Mercier 26 Dec '11

Hi all, Just curious to know if ICE NAT traversal metrology can also be implemented to help H.323, or is there any alternate approach as a work in progress for P2P media without requiring the use of a gatekeeper? Any info or other possibilities/approach will be greatly appreciated Thanks Josh

Multiplexing support in H323plus
by J.C Mercier 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi all, looking through the h323plus code, I noticed it supports multiplexing for H.460.19. Just a few questions; 1. Does H323plus also support RTP multiplexing without the need for h.460.19 (direct endpoint to endpoint)? 2. If it doesn't support endpoint to endpoint multiplexing, does limiting RTP ports to only a few ports such as 10 to 12 (i.e. 3000 - 3010) opened port always remain in that range or will this produce any side affects when making a lot of calls? 3. With multiplexing support for H.460.19, is it 2 ports; 1 bi-directional port for audio and 1 bi-directional port for video? is there a third port for RTCP (QoS)? 4. Is sending/receiving RTCP/QoS mandatory for H.323 systems? What affects are there if this is not enabled? Thanks for all your help Josh

Rearranged Default Session IDs
by J.C Mercier 13 Dec '11

Hi all, Just wanted to confirm whether both DefaultDataSessionID and DefaultH224SessionID are to use the same value '3' as indicated in mediafmt.h as well as in rtp.h or is this a typo? enum { NonRTPSessionID = 0, FirstSessionID = 1, DefaultAudioSessionID = 1, DefaultVideoSessionID = 2, DefaultDataSessionID = 3, DefaultH224SessionID = 3, DefaultExtVideoSessionID = 4, DefaultFileSessionID = 5, LastSessionID = 5 }; Thanks Josh

video plugins and ffmpeg
by Ben Dudley 08 Dec '11

Hello all, I'm trying to compile OpenAM and use the plugins from the plugins dir of h323plus. I've downloaded the latest ptlib, h323plus core and applications from http://www.h323plus.org/source/. I started with a virgin install of Ubuntu 10.04 and installed dependent libs as necessary. Which version of ffmpeg works best with the plugins? apt-get retrieves ffmpeg 0.5.1. everything compiles fine and when I point PWLIBPLUGINDIR to OPENH323DIR/plugins openam lists all the codecs I expect to see - including H263. However, when I connect my video endpoint to it the video is freezes on what appears to be the first frame. I've tried later versions of ffmpeg from ffmpeg.org and libav from libav.org (recompiling h323plus, the plugins and openam after each ffmpeg change) but then openam doesn't list H263 in its list of codecs - only H261. The configure script indicates libavcodec and h263 is available for every combination I've tried. So, what's the secret to building openam with the H263 codecs? What version of ffmpeg must I use? Any help is greatly appreciated! PS: my apologies for first accidentally sending this to open323gk-users. Thanks! -Ben

H.323 video codec support
by J.C Mercier 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi all, I just have a question to know if H.323 is capable of supporting additional codecs such as THEORA (based on VP3) or VP8? If so, is h323plus capable of supporting such implementations or does H.323 only restricts video codecs to the H.26x class? Your insight on how this can be accomplished or what the requirements are will be appreciated. Thanks Josh
