You cannot know what the remote will send when you call OpenVideoChannel for
the decoding side, that can only be done when you receive the first RTP
packets.
You need to do a level 6 trace to work out who and why the channel is being
closed. I don't think it is a capability issue, usually the problem comes
from either the video encoder device (webcam) or the display device. Check
to see that you have set the video input device to send at the same size as
your encoder. The old openH323 used to do be able to do that automatically
as the frame size for the capability was known. You have to make sure the
input to the encoder from the webcam is correct.
Version of h323plus would be irrelevent in this case.

Simon,
Thanks for valuable information. What is happening literally in a minimised
case: I derived OnVideoChannel
on the Local endpoint
if (encoding)
{
codec.SetFrameSize(352, 288);
.....
}
else
{
cout << codec.GetWidth();
cout << codec.GetHeight();
// I receive CIF (ERROR)
.....
}
on the Remote endpoint
if (encoding)
{
codec.SetFrameSize(176, 144);
.....
}
else
{
cout << codec.GetWidth();
cout << codec.GetHeight();
// I receive CIF (normal)
.....
}
I looked into H323 trace Log, (remote endpoint which supposed to send QCIF)
PLUGIN Error encoding frame from plugin H.261-CIF
H245 Request CloseLogicalChannel
H323RTP Transmit H.261-CIF thread ended
It seems that the H.261 channel is closed prematurely. As my local endpoint
received an incorrect video size I suppose that local endpoint causes remote
to close the transmission channel.
Could this be related to the version of the plugin or h323plus lib which I
use? it's likely that the video resolution is sent before codec.SetFrameSize
is invoked!
Did you in practice used different video resolution under the same
capability? e.g. CIF<->QCIF calls

The current behaviour is correct.
The old OpenH323 used to only send CIF with *-CIF{sw} capability and only
QCIF with *-QCIF{sw} . This was changed with the video plugins so the
capability could do up to CIF so it would also supported QCIF. This is
perfectly H.245 legal.
In this way only 1 capability can do both frame sizes. This is the way most
manufacturers implement the capability exchange.
The capability has a flag for the size it supports so the old CIF capability
used to say QCIF - 0 CIF - 1. So if you wanted to do QCIF you had to use the
*-QCIF{sw} capability as the QCIF flag in the *-CIF{sw} was 0. This was
changed so that the *-CIF{sw} capability had the QCIF flag so it could also
support QCIF. Then it was safe to remove the *-QCIF{sw} capability and only
exchange using the *-CIF{sw}.
Now SetVideoFrameSize() will set the global frame size limit so regardless
of the direction that will be the maximum size permitted (if CIF only up to
CIF capability is available). The codec.FrameSize() in the
MyH323Endpoint::OpenVideoChannel() allows the implementor to set the actual
frame size to send.
Is there something else I missed?

Simon,
Thanks for your quick answer, just noticed that I had a bad thread name;)
Well, I have the codec.SetFrameSize(w, h); in my OpenVideoChannel
When adding capabilities I use
AddAllCapabilities(0, P_MAX_INDEX, "*");
SetVideoFrameSize(H323Capability::cifMPI);
Capabilities table shows as
Set 0: 0: audio
1: H.261-CIF{sw}
I receive an OpenVideoChannel for encoder, I open channel and attach video
reader + colourConverter, just after that I receive a close video signal
from a H245Negotation, here I join Call Stack

If I remove the "SetVideoFrameSize(H323Capability::cifMPI);", I get the
following capabilities set
1: H.261-CIF{sw}
H.261-QCIF{sw}
H.261{sw}
with exactly same strange behaviour, QCIF is not sending while CIF is being
received, by the way qcif endpoint says
Local Video Codec - H.261-CIF{sw}
Local Resolution - 176x144
Remote Video Codec - H.261-CIF{sw}
Remote Resolution - 352x288
I tried a "ReorderCapabilities(PStringArray("QCIF"));" after my
addcapabilities, I ended up with both endpoints using QCIF and ignoring my
SetFrameSize anyway!!
Is there a glitch using H323Plus video plugins? my code works perfectly on
openh323 stack.
"SetVideoFrameSize(H323Capability::cifMPI);" is supposed to define a maximum
video resolution?! as you said in API doc "... to set the maximum framesize
allowed to the specified value "
Is that usual to have H.261-CIF with a QCIF resolution? On which order codec
plugins can be added to avoid such problems of negotiation?

In your derived
H323EndPoint::OpenVideoChannel(()
(isEncoding)
codec.SetFrameSize(w,h);

Hello Guys,
I would like to have different frame sizes for two endpoints, first I tried
to play around with H323Endpoint::SetVideoFrameSize, but it seems that part
changes the maximum allowed size, which means that if I switch the
videoFrameSize to qCIF, I wouldn't be able to receive CIF from the other
endpoint. my test only received QCIF.
I tried also to modify the OpalMediaFormat by using a GetWritableMediaFormat
for a capability, that ended with unusual CIF format while having a QCIF
resolution.
On the other hand, I looked Opal examples where they use an OpalManager, but
unfortuntly that seems incompatible with h323plus, while old openh323
tutorials and exampls don't have any video plugins support.
How I can manage to receive and send different resolutions (frame sizes)
using H323plus?
I appreciate a lot your help
Carlos
