Hmmm, i made a few changes, and now video does not work?

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

here’s my sip.conf, but it looks good to me, and because i was trying so many things to get conferencing to work, i could not remember what i changed. Video is enabled for both sip clients, and the appropriate codecs; nothing has changed with them. Here’s the sip.conf:

[code][general]
port=5060
BindAddr=0.0.0.0
Externip=xx.xx.xx.xx
LocalNet=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
nat=yes
context=office
srvlookup=yes
musicclass=default
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
allow=h264
allow=h263
allow=h261
language=en
dtmfmode = rfc2833
relaxdtmf=no
realm=ionisis.com
fromdomain=ionisis.com
echocancelwhenbridge=yes
echocancel=yes
UserAgent=Asterisk
canreinvite=no
videosupport=yes

[Vector]
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
context=office
type=friend
username=Vector
mailbox=Vector@office
register => Vector@office
callerid=(“Vector” )

[James]
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
context=office
type=friend
username=James
mailbox=James@office
register => James@office
callerid=(“James” )

[Lisa]
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
context=office
type=friend
username=Lisa
mailbox=Lisa@office
register => Lisa@office
callerid=(“Lisa” )[/code]

I also tried this way:

[code][general]
port=5060
BindAddr=0.0.0.0
Externip=xx.xx.xx.xx
LocalNet=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
nat=yes
context=office
srvlookup=yes
musicclass=default
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
allow=h264
allow=h263
allow=h261
language=en
dtmfmode = rfc2833
relaxdtmf=no
realm=ionisis.com
fromdomain=ionisis.com
echocancelwhenbridge=yes
echocancel=yes
UserAgent=Asterisk
canreinvite=no
videosupport=yes

[Vector]
videosupport=yes
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
nat=yes
context=office
type=friend
username=Vector
mailbox=Vector@office
register => Vector@office
callerid=(“Vector” )

[James]
videosupport=yes
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
nat=yes
context=office
type=friend
username=James
mailbox=James@office
register => James@office
callerid=(“James” )

[Lisa]
videosupport=yes
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
nat=yes
context=office
type=friend
username=Lisa
mailbox=Lisa@office
register => Lisa@office
callerid=(“Lisa” )
[/code]

The changes i made were to the way i organized the options, but not the options themselves, if i remember correctly.

Hi!

This is what you have in the [general] context!

videosupport=yes disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=alaw allow=gsm allow=h264 allow=h263 allow=h261
but only

where you define your users!

Try to also add the codecs in the user context like you have in the [general] context.

I’m not fully sure that this will work, but that is what I have and my video is working!

This is the way i have it before. Those are the default settings. I did try adding the line for h263 to each user (because that is what ekiga uses), and it did not work.

5

Try to only use h264!

6

I would if i could, but ekiga for Fedora 10 does not have h264. It does for Fedora 11, but i don’t like 11, because it is more unstable. I am waiting for 12 to come out.

7

Ok!

I now remember that I got problem with my Grandstream GXV-3000
if I enabled h263 and h264 at the same time

Try to enable h263 and h261 one at the time just to see if that helps you!

Thanx, but that can’t be it either, because i never changed the codecs, or their ordering, or their locations. This is one more reason that i am p*ssed about the conferencing; because of fighting with it, the video is not working… i will toy with it some more.

Are you using Asterisk 1.4 or 1.6?
I’m using 1.4!

10

1.6.*
