Bridging two H.323 calls together
by Mark Fawcett 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

All, I have successfully installed and used H.323plus and am very impressed by the strength-in-depth. I am building a B2BUA application and can make two outgoing calls and now need to switch the audio between them. I have done this initially using a new channel class derived from PIndirectChannel and taking audio data on the Write from one channel, buffering it internally in the application and then sending it to the other channel on its Read. I am wondering if there is a better or alternative method to achieve the same results - i.e. is it possible to use an H323plus object/method to connect the two H323Connections back-to-back without the need to go through the intermediate buffering stage in the application? Many thanks Mark

GNU Gatekeeper release 2.3.3
by Jan Willamowius 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hi all, the new GNU Gatekeeper release 2.3.3 is now available: http://www.gnugk.org/gnugk-2-3-3.html I would like to thank all sponsors who made it possible to add so many new features again. I'll append a list of changes below. Regards, Jan -- Jan Willamowius, Founder of the GNU Gatekeeper Project EMail : jan(a)willamowius.de Website: http://www.gnugk.org Support: http://www.willamowius.de/gnugk-support.html New features (gatekeeper configuration): - all executables now contain all database drivers: MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC, SQLite and Firebird! - much improved bandwidth management for registered endpoints per endpoint and per call - configure alternate gatekeepers per endpoint IP range with [RasSrv::AlternateGatekeeper] - call routing by destination IP with [Routing::Explicit] - gatekeeper-based TCS=0 call transfer: activated through H.450.2 emulator or status port (experimental) - H.450.2 emulator extended for unregistered calls - new switch: [CTI::MakeCall]TransferMethod= - BMV, a web front-end for SQLBill (in contrib/bmv2/) - configure where to send RAS replies with [ReplyToRasAddress] - ignore a 2nd column in SQL routing if it equals "IGNORE" - display H323Plus and PTLib version in GnuGk's version string - documented [RoutedMode] EnableH460P= and H460PActThread= switches New features (API): - extended status port commands RouteToAlias, RouteToGateway, BindAndRouteToGateway with caller-ID parameter - updated status port command: TransferCall by call-id and with transfer method - new status port command RerouteCall (experimental) - new status port command: DisconnectCallId - added vendor string in RouteRequest event - document status port command: DisconnectEndpoint Config changes: change to the format of [Gatekeeper::Main] AlternateGKs= Bug fixes: - apply ENUM policy also to Setup and Facility messages - fix multicast discovery - fix crash on failover with DisableRetryChecks=1 - avoid bug in H323Plus so H.460.19 feature indicator can be removed - disregard IPv6 addresses if the machine has any - DisconnectIP now disconnects all calls on the IP as specified - fix crash when setting a non-writable trace file in the config file - signal change of destination alias in parent policy - don't accept new calls or retry calls when shutdown is in progress, avoids possible crash - check if routing policies have been configured, before using them - only rewrite sourceCallSignalAddress if proxying - fix NAT detection for unregistered callers - fire unregister event also when endpoint expired - fix order of home IPs

Problem compiling h323plus 1.21.0
by alvaro muniz 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi, I just download ptlib 2.4.5, h323plus 1.21.0 and openmcu 2.2.5. When i try to compile h323plus using make install, it fail, because /bin/install try to find libh323_linux_x86_.so.1.21.0, but in the lib folders it find libh323_linux_x86_.so.1.21.beta0. How i solve this issue? I download the right version? http://www.h323plus.org/source/ Im working on ubuntu 10.10 Thank you so much Alvaro

Call Tracing && XER ???
by Alex Katebi 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hello, I need trace calls for debugging. What are the options available for doing this? I know how to get PTRACE but I need something that is specific to a call. I was wondering that if I can get XER encoding and then filter for a call. Anyone can tell me how to get XER encoding for the OpenH323? Thanks, Alex

h323plus 1.22, ptlib 2.8.2, openmcu 2.2.5 - can't get H.263 to load
by Dave Smulsky 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

I am having a terrible time trying to get basic H.263/264 plugins working on a vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 install. I installed ffmpeg, libavcodec-devel, x264, libx264-devel from ubuntu repos Compiled PTlib 2.8.2, set PTLIBDIR, compilied h323plus 1.22, set OPEN323DIR, configured and make installed h323plus/plugins (showed all the codecs as enabled), set PTLIBPLUGINDIR to the OPENH323DIR/plugins. Compiled openmcu 2.2.5 without issues... When I run openmcu, right out of the box H.261 and H.264 are enabled, but if I try to connect an endpoint (using Ekiga) it segfaults openmcu. If I disable h.264 via openmcu.ini, restart openmcu, I can connect an endpoint at H.261 CIF (which is terrible resolution and pretty much useless to me. The problem is I cant seem to get H.263 to load at all. Can someone that has had good results setting this up please shed some light on how to do it on a more recent OS like Ubuntu 10.04 or even RHEL5? Thanks Dave

h.239 improvements
by Marek Domaracky 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi, in the attachment, you can find the patch to improve H.239 support. It includes patch from Igor Pavlov, which add possibility to open H.239 session to the H.323 device. It also includes also some of my changes concerning the sending order of the messages ... So far I tested to open H.239 session both ways with the Tandberg MXP and with the Mirial. But with Mirial I manage to open only from Mirial to my application as the other way I'm getting "ERROR Open Channel. No Remote Support". I will check that. Thanks, Marek

Hello, How can I enable PTRACE in the ptlib ? Basically I want to enable all the tracing and levels in ptlib and h323. I have done the below initialization but I don't see all the traces. PTrace::Initialise( 5, NULL, PTrace::Blocks | PTrace::Timestamp | PTrace::Thread | PTrace::FileAndLine ); Thanks Alex Katebi

Strange library names due to change in PTLIB macros, proposed patch.
by Francisco Olarte (M) 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

I previously sent the message at the bottom to the list, proposing a change to sync the release/debug library names with those used in ptlib ( changing x_r/x_d to x/x_d, which presently are x_, x__d). I've decided to further investigate it and made a path. This let's me do a make both & make both install without problems. I've then used the patched release to compile gnugk 2.3.2-3 without problem. I've also compiled yate3, but this is anecdotic since it is patched. I'd propose the patch for inclusion, as I think these kind of details maters, and present names look ugly for me. My path is just two lines, very small, it is this: folarte@gkaps ~/src/h323plus-cvs $ diff -u openh323u.mak.in* --- openh323u.mak.in 2010-08-12 16:58:53.077428934 +0200 +++ openh323u.mak.in.~1.8.~ 2009-07-25 12:35:51.000000000 +0200 @@ -249,14 +249,14 @@ ifeq ($(NOTRACE), 1) STDCCFLAGS += -DPASN_NOPRINTON -DPASN_LEANANDMEAN -OH323_SUFFIX = _n +OH323_SUFFIX = n else STDCCFLAGS += -DPTRACING RCFLAGS += -DPTRACING OH323_SUFFIX = $(OBJ_SUFFIX) endif # NOTRACE -OH323_BASE = h323_$(PLATFORM_TYPE)$(OH323_SUFFIX)$(LIB_TYPE) +OH323_BASE = h323_$(PLATFORM_TYPE)_$(OH323_SUFFIX)$(LIB_TYPE) OH323_FILE = lib$(OH323_BASE).$(LIB_SUFFIX) LDFLAGS += -L$(OH323_LIBDIR) This makes nicer names, both for the compile-tree lib names: folarte@gkaps ~/src/h323plus-cvs $ ls -l lib total 183292 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 30 Aug 12 17:02 libh323_linux_x86_64.so -> libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 folarte folarte 10919080 Aug 12 17:02 libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 32 Aug 12 17:06 libh323_linux_x86_64_d.so -> libh323_linux_x86_64_d.so.1.22.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 folarte folarte 42136063 Aug 12 17:06 libh323_linux_x86_64_d.so.1.22.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 folarte folarte 85152810 Aug 12 17:02 libh323_linux_x86_64_d_s.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 32 Aug 12 18:05 libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so -> libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 folarte folarte 8834968 Aug 12 18:05 libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 folarte folarte 18061356 Aug 12 18:05 libh323_linux_x86_64_n_s.a -rw-r--r-- 1 folarte folarte 22564616 Aug 12 17:02 libh323_linux_x86_64_s.a drwxr-xr-x 2 folarte folarte 4096 Aug 12 17:02 obj drwxr-xr-x 2 folarte folarte 4096 Aug 12 17:02 obj_d drwxr-xr-x 2 folarte folarte 4096 Aug 12 18:05 objn and for the installed names folarte@gkaps ~/src/h323plus-cvs $ ls -l ~/lib/*h323* lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 30 Aug 12 17:07 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64.so -> libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 30 Aug 12 17:07 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1 -> libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 30 Aug 12 17:07 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22 -> libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22.0 -r--r--r-- 1 folarte folarte 10919080 Aug 12 17:07 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 32 Aug 12 18:09 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so -> libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 32 Aug 12 18:09 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1 -> libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 32 Aug 12 18:09 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22 -> libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22.0 -r--r--r-- 1 folarte folarte 8834968 Aug 12 18:09 /home/folarte/lib/libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so.1.22.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 folarte folarte 25 Aug 12 18:09 /home/folarte/lib/libopenh323.so -> libh323_linux_x86_64_n.so I made make both, make install, make NOTRACE=1 opt, make NOTRACE=1 install, so the installed link points to the last one, but verified in between and it pointed to the traced one.
