Summary:                    no gtalk capable clients to talk to & Asterisk needs
to be restarted after adding jabber buddies
Description: 
Hello, this thread actually describes two issues:

1) When calling a GTalk buddy from gtalk.conf, the following error is
displayed:
no gtalk capable clients to talk

Then, we obtain a CHANUNAVAIL status.

2) The only way of being able to dial different google users, is creating
a separate jabber.conf entry for every single one. Additionally, this works
without the gtalk entry, only entering it in jabber.conf is needed to make
it function properly.

Additionally, it is not enough reloading jabber to be able to call newly
entered connections in jabber.conf; Asterisk needs to be restarted.

Hello phsultan,

I followed jcovert's advice and installed Asterisk 1.6-current (1.6.0.3)
since 1.6.0.1 wasn't available anymore in the download folder at Digium
at:
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/



Asterisk Version:
Connected to Asterisk 1.6.0.3 currently running on host5 (pid = 18110)
Verbosity is at least 3
host5*CLI> 



I left only the following entries in gtalk.conf:

[general]
context=google
allowguest=yes
bindaddr=216.x.x.x

[guest]
context=google
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=g729
connection=asterisk



And in jabber.conf:

[general]
debug=no
autoprune=no
autoregister=yes

[asterisk]
type=client
serverhost=talk.google.com
username=comtel.pbx at gmail.com
secret=xxxx
port=5222
usetls=yes
usesasl=yes
buddy=max.glucksmann at gmail.com
statusmessage="This is Comtel Networks PBX Server"
timeout=100

The issues regarding the need to restart asterisk or asterisk crashing are
gone now. Thanks... but, there is one issue with some phones not
registering; I tried also with 1.6.1-beta4 but the registration problem
remained and then the audio quality was bad (scrambled) in gtalk, so I had
to go back to 1.4.22.

All issues are gone now after I went back to 1.4.22 and left the entries
mentioned above only.

Finally, everything is working nicely with v1.4.22. I appreciate very much
your advice either way (to both of you).

New tickets could be opened for 1.6 though...
