Error building JSON - RTCP

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Asterisk version 16.2.1 compiled from source on a CentOS 6 server and every time a call is established and audio is sent between them, I’m getting the following messages in the logs:

[Mar  7 07:39:51] ERROR[16580]: json.c:607 ast_json_vpack: Error building JSON from '{s: o?, s: o, s: O?}': Expected format 's', got '?'.

This happens every 5 seconds once both parties join the bridge so it’s likely related to RTCP. I have little to no idea about JSON so I’m not going to attempt to come up with a theory of what’s wrong but reach out to anyone who may know what’s going on here.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

There may be a bug within the res_hep_rtcp module for this. I’d suggest filing an issue[1]. If you don’t need to use the module, you can configure modules.conf to not load it.

Thanks, I’ve raised issue ASTERISK-28329
