h323plus 1.22, ptlib 2.8.2, openmcu 2.2.5 - can't get H.263 to load
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
Hi Dave,
In my experience if the plugin library has some unresolved symbols then it won't load. Also put a gdb break in file osutils.cxx in ptlib where dlopen is used to load the plugin. I think the name of the function is PDynaLoad::Open. You can see if the loading was successful or not.
Thanks, Alex

Do a level 5 trace and see if the H.263 capability actually loads and in the capability list. The plugin will not load unless it finds the FFMPEG library. If it is there then you will need to check that it actually gets negotiated, see if it is the common capability list in the trace file.
The H.264 plugin should work if you are using the current CVS. Use a softphone like Mirial to test.

What H.263 plugin are you using? I don't see H.263-CIF and H.263-QCIF definitions loading?
The H.263{sw} codec is being filtered out. Remove the SetVideoFrameSize(H323Capability::cifMPI) function out of your code and both the MPEG4 and H.263 codecs will load.

Simon,
My apologies, I forgot that I tried to use OPAL 3.6.8 plugins, which is what I had PTLIBPLUGINDIR set to for that test.
Does that make a difference if I were to use H323Plus plugins vs OPAL ?
When I use the H323Plus plugindir, it doesnt seem to find H.263 at all, using OPAL loads H.263/264/MPEG4 but they never end up staying loaded.
Thanks,

Comment out line 323 SetVideoFrameSize() in h323.cxx. The opal plugins should load and be usuable. Also you will need to enable H.323 in H.264.

Simon,
My apologies, I forgot that I tried to use OPAL 3.6.8 plugins, which is what I had PTLIBPLUGINDIR set to for that test.
Does that make a difference if I were to use H323Plus plugins vs OPAL ?
When I use the H323Plus plugindir, it doesnt seem to find H.263 at all, using OPAL loads H.263/264/MPEG4 but they never end up staying loaded.
Thanks,
Dave

What H.263 plugin are you using? I don't see H.263-CIF and H.263-QCIF definitions loading?
The H.263{sw} codec is being filtered out. Remove the SetVideoFrameSize(H323Capability::cifMPI) function out of your code and both the MPEG4 and H.263 codecs will load.

Simon,
Oddly enough, it looks like a audio codec was causing this issue.. I disabled 722 and 726 on the endpoints and defaulted them to GSM and they were able to connect.
The endpoints are connecting with H261, but the problem I see now is split screen doesnt work (3rd connected endpoint causes video to pause on all endpoints until one endpoint disconnects). If I force split screen, the resolutions are horribly distorted and green looking. If I force the endpoint to 176x144, then that endpoint looks OK in the split screen, but the others are all mooshed.
Whats the best way to troubleshoot that?
Thanks,

Simon,
Oddly enough, it looks like a audio codec was causing this issue.. I disabled 722 and 726 on the endpoints and defaulted them to GSM and they were able to connect.
The endpoints are connecting with H261, but the problem I see now is split screen doesnt work (3rd connected endpoint causes video to pause on all endpoints until one endpoint disconnects). If I force split screen, the resolutions are horribly distorted and green looking. If I force the endpoint to 176x144, then that endpoint looks OK in the split screen, but the others are all mooshed.
Whats the best way to troubleshoot that?
Thanks,

Comment out line 323 SetVideoFrameSize() in h323.cxx. The opal plugins should load and be usuable. Also you will need to enable H.323 in H.264.

Do a level 5 trace and see if the H.263 capability actually loads and in the capability list. The plugin will not load unless it finds the FFMPEG library. If it is there then you will need to check that it actually gets negotiated, see if it is the common capability list in the trace file.
The H.264 plugin should work if you are using the current CVS. Use a softphone like Mirial to test.

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

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.

Do a level 5 trace and see if the H.263 capability actually loads and in the capability list. The plugin will not load unless it finds the FFMPEG library. If it is there then you will need to check that it actually gets negotiated, see if it is the common capability list in the trace file.
The H.264 plugin should work if you are using the current CVS. Use a softphone like Mirial to test.

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
