On FreeBSD, after all the packages are installed I am seemingly limited to H.261 - The endpoints are capable of H.263/264, however I cannot get OpenMCU to use this codec. On Ubuntu (my preferred system) OpenMCU preferences report the use of the G711 audio codecs, but do not even use the H.261 video codecs. There is no video output to any of the endpoints. I think it might have to do with the codec installation on Ubuntu - How can I check if these are installed properly? When I try to configure the h323plus install, I get the following: =================== Plugin configuration ====================== prefix : /usr/local exec_prefix : ${prefix} libdir : ${exec_prefix}/lib Audio Codec plugin install dir : ${libdir}/opal-1.23.0/codecs/audio Video Codec plugin install prefix: ${libdir}/opal-1.23.0/codecs/video LID plugin install prefix : ${libdir}/opal-1.23.0/lid FAX plugin install prefix : ${libdir}/opal-1.23.0/fax GSM : yes (internal) gsm-amr : yes iLBC : yes (internal) Speex : yes (internal, version 1.1.11.1) LPC10 : yes G.726 : yes IMA_ADPCM : yes SBC : no H.261 : yes H.263 : no (ffmpeg version) H.263/H.263+ : no H.264 : no THEORA : yes MPEG4 Part 2 : no CELT : no SpanDSP FAX : no CAPI : no Quicknet xJACK support : no Voicetronics VPB support : yes OS Type : linux-gnu Machine Type : i686 If all settings are OK, type make and make install ======================================================== Level 5 debug logs show: 0:00.034 OpenMCU MCU Codecs (in preference order): Table: G.711-ALaw-64k <1> G.711-uLaw-64k <2> UserInput/hookflash <3> UserInput/basicString <4> UserInput/dtmf <5> UserInput/RFC2833 <6> UserInput/Navigation <7> UserInput/Softkey <8> UserInput/PointDevice <9> UserInput/Modal <10> Set: 0: 0: G.711-ALaw-64k <1> G.711-uLaw-64k <2> 1: 2: UserInput/hookflash <3> UserInput/basicString <4> UserInput/dtmf <5> UserInput/RFC2833 <6> UserInput/Navigation <7> UserInput/Softkey <8> UserInput/PointDevice <9> UserInput/Modal <10> There seem to be no video codecs being found or loaded.

Abdul Moiz Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been travelling. In your derived OpenAudioChannel PBoolean H323EndPoint::OpenAudioChannel(H323Connection & connection,PBoolean isEncoding, unsigned bufferSize, H323AudioCodec & codec); The second parameter isEncoding specifies the direction of the channel (true = transmit, false=receive). This function is called once for each direction. To only transmit or receive then return false for the function for the direction you do not wish to open.

Current stable version issues
by J C Mercier 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi all, I have downloaded the current stable version of H323plus and ptlib on the H323plus website, as well as the trunk versions of both and I seem to be having a few problems with them. Having compiled them on both windows xp and windows 7 using visual studio 2008, both versions compiled with no errors. My problems are as follows; 1. After first compiling the stable versions, I tried compiling the simpleh323 example which also compiles fine but when making a video call (using the h.623 codec), both side seemed to be sending a green background. I traced this issue in ptlib - directshow.cxx PVideoInputDevice_DirectShow::PlatformOpen() ... And commented out mt.subtype = MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB24 this fixes that issue but I was wondering why it was used. 2. My second problem, when ending a video call between two simpleh323 endpoint, the called party crashes dues to an invalid memory access violation while trying to access the thread object in; transports.cxx function: H323Transport::CleanUpOnTermination(). this is the case for both the current stable as well as the trunk versions of H323plus, tested with ptlib from version 2.9 up to the current trunk version. The issue seems to go away when tested with ptlib v2.8.2 through 2.8.5 inclusively. I've tried tracing to see why the thread becomes invalid, I can't exactly figure out the cause but it seems the thread object may be automatically deleted at some point. 3. My last problem is with the trunk version of H333plus. It complies with no errors, but when compiling the provided sample, I receive a bunch of unresolved errors due to h460.17/18 etc. I have not thoroughly looked into this but disabling H323_H460 seems to solve this for now. All these tests were performed on windows xp as well as windows 7 using visual studio 2008 pro. Your help with these issues will be greatly appreciated. JC

You build the plugin codecs in the plugin directory. They are separate files. Look for *_ptplugin.so Apply this patch http://h323plus.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/h323plus/h323plus/samples/simple/ main.cxx?r1=1.4 <http://h323plus.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/h323plus/h323plus/samples/simple /main.cxx?r1=1.4&r2=1.5> &r2=1.5 Simon From: ABDUL MOIZ [mailto:abdulmoiz786@gmail.com] Sent: 03 November 2011 19:54 To: Simon Horne Subject: Re: [h323plus] Need help to run oh323tut application using ALSA Hi, I have found that v4l2 plugin is already built.And I have used the variable PTLIBPLUGINDIR to point it to the directory containing plugin. But still, I am unable to get Video transfers. When I started debugging, I found that the simph323 application program flow is being hanged up at the function call PVideoInputDevice::GetDeviceCapabilities(devices[0],inputDriverName,&caps) in main.cxx file. Can you please help me in giving correct options while executing the application. or any other suggestions to get Video transfers Below are the options I am giving presently $ ./simph323 -l -n -u listener -i 192.1.4.1 -x 6000 -v V4L2 $ ./simph323 -n -u caller -i 192.1.4.2 -x 5000 -v V4L2 listener@192.1.4.1:6000 My system is X86 , running ubuntu 10.04 Regards, Abdul Moiz On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 12:41 PM, Simon Horne <s.horne(a)spranto.com> wrote: Video is enabled via plugins, Build the plugins and place them in the same directory as the application.
