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.

Hi,

        Is it possible to enable opening of only one audio channel say for transmitting in caller application and only one audio channel for receving in listener application?

In the present scenario, there are 2 audio channels being opened, one for transmitting and the other for receiving.Can I configure to open only one channel for transmitting/receiving?

Try

simple –h

To bring up the switch list

See

"P-prefer:"

 

So simple -ln -PH.263,G.711

Will make H.263 and G.711 default

Enable environmental variable

PTLIB_TRACE_CODECS=4

When running simple you will be able see the directories it searches for the X264 helper.

Hi,
          I have copied h26x_pwplugin.so and h264_video_pwplugin_helper files in my simph323 application directory and when I run the applications,

after call establishment ,

the "listener" application is hanging up at the function
((PVideoInputDevice *)device)->GetDeviceCapabilities(deviceName,deviceDriver,&videoCaps)

and the "caller" application is giving the error:
H323> ERROR: H.264 plugin couldn't find GPL process executable: h264_video_pwplugin_helper

and therefore video channel is not being opened.

Can you please help me to solve the above problem.

You build the plugin codecs in the plugin directory that is part of h323plus.

Ie h323plus/plugins

 

Look for h26x_ptplugin.so

        I have alsa and v4l2 plugin file names as alsa_pwplugin.so and v4l2_pwplugin.so respectively.
I have copied the above plugin files into my application directory, but still video tranfers is not happening.

 



  By applying above patch, the code is not being hanged up now.But still video transfer is not happening.


After some debugging of code, I have found that the function
SimpleH323EndPoint::OpenVideoChannel(...) is not being called.
Thereby video channel is not being created and video transfer is not happening.
So I want to know whether
simph323 application (out of the box) does video transfers?

                                       (or)

Do I need to add the videocodec interface in the code so that the above said function may be called?
If so can you please send me the required code snippets.

Thanks
                

 

Simon

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

Video is enabled via plugins, Build the plugins and place them in the same directory as the application.

You can also use the environmental variable PTLIBPLUGINDIR to point to the directory where the video/audio plugins are.

Hi,

          I am using simph323 application (i.e running two instances one as caller and the other as listener) and able to transfer only "Audio".
Is it possible to transfer "Video" and "Data" also using simph323 application and if so how to give the command line options for the 2 instances (i.e caller and listener)
Or else can anybody suggest me if there is any better application/example to transfer Audio,Video and Data simultaneously.

There are no specific ALSA examples.

However there are a number of same applications contained in the Applications download from the website.

Hi simon,
 
         Thanks for your response.

    I am a beginner in this field.
I am looking for sample examples/applications which establishes H.323 call and tranfers video,audio and data across 2 systems.
Can you please tell me where can I find the latest sample applications (for Video,Audio and Data) or the related information/document for development of such applications

Oh323tut is getting quite old but here are some tips to get and set the
Audio Driver and Device Name    


Get the drivers
PStringArray names = PSoundChannel::GetDriverNames();

Get the devices
PString DefaultAudioDriver = names[0];
PStringArray playDevices =
PSoundChannel::GetDeviceNames(DefaultAudioDriver,PSoundChannel::Player);
PStringArray recDevices =
PSoundChannel::GetDeviceNames(DefaultAudioDriver,PSoundChannel::Recorder);

Enumerate the devices
for (PINDEX i = 0; i < playDevices.GetSize(); i++) {
       cout << playDevices[i] << endl;
}

To set the driver call these functions
PBoolean H323EndPoint::SetSoundChannelPlayDriver(const PString & name)
PBoolean H323EndPoint::SetSoundChannelRecordDriver(const PString & name)

To set the device call these functions
PBoolean H323EndPoint::SetSoundChannelPlayDevice(const PString & name)
PBoolean H323EndPoint::SetSoundChannelRecordDevice(const PString & name)

and "PTlib"(version:2.10.1) from the link:

     http://www.h323plus.org/source/

     on my X86 Desktop system running ubuntu 10.04


   I have followed the tutorial given at link

      http://toncar.cz/openh323/tut/index.html

   I am able to compile both the source codes without any problems.

  Then I have downloaded and compiled "oh323tut" (version 1.1-1) source code
from the link below:

       http://toncar.cz/openh323/tut/files.html

  I have got simph323 installed on my system using

  $ sudo apt-get install simph323


 Now when I try to run oh323tut application and simph323 application (in
separete terminals) using the commands below:

$ ./oh323tut -f audio.wav -n -u 320
$ simph323 -n -u 321 320@127.0.0.1:1820

   I am getting the following problem:

 H323> Could not open sound device Default - Check permissions or full
duplex capability.


  Can anybody please help to  solve the above problem.
