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](http://realm=ionisis.com) [fromdomain=ionisis.com](http://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](http://realm=ionisis.com) [fromdomain=ionisis.com](http://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 ```auto ``` 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! ---

[quote=“nypon”]Hi! Try to also add the codecs in the user context like you have in the [general] context.

I did try adding the line for h263 to each user (because that is what ekiga uses), and it did not work. ---

Try to only use h264! ---

> [@nypon](#): > > Try to only use h264! 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. ---

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! ---
