Not taking into account codecs.conf

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi!
I’m using Asterisk16. I want to use the codec opus with a customization of the bitrate. For doing that, I have created an entry in codecs.conf and I have referenced it from pjsip:

/etc/asterisk/codecs.conf

[myopus]
type=opus
fec=yes
packet_loss=10
dtx=yes
cbr=yes
bitrate=24000
complexity=8

/etc/asterisk/pjsip_wizard.conf
endpoint/allow=myopus

module show  like opus
Module                         Description                              Use Count  Status      Support Level
codec_opus_open_source.so      Opus Coder/Decoder                       0          Running           unknown
format_ogg_opus_open_source.so OGG/Opus audio                           0          Running              core
res_format_attr_opus.so        Opus Format Attribute Module             1          Running              core

The result is:

WARNING[2965] format_cap.c: Cannot allow unknown format 'myopus'

What am I missing?

You are using an outside codec module, it may not support such a thing.

oh, thanks. I tried also with speex and it doesn’t work. Speex used to work with previous versions of asterisk.

I thought it was more a problem of not being able to read the file codecs.conf. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Sure, it’s possible. Without further information that’s the extent of what I can say.

I can’t comment on any outside modules or how they work.

5

How can I be sure that changes in file codecs.conf are taken into account? Is there anything that I should enable? Thanks

If the file is parsed for configuration and encounters an issue, then a log message will be output. Otherwise it’s up to the module to open the file and use it as it wishes. There is nothing to “enable” in Asterisk itself.

I don’t think the file is parsed. I don’t see any log message (nor that’s being loaded or wrong configured). I’m using it with pjsip instead of sip, but that shouldn’t be the problem, right?

8

It’s up to the codec module to parse it and use it. If it’s not doing that, then it doesn’t support it.

Hi, thanks for your help. In my server, I loaded the module codec_opus.so and it worked! However, for the raspberry I haven’t found opus codec available for arm architecture. Is there any way of installing it?

Sangoma does not currently provide an ARM version of the codec_opus binary module.
