[Asterisk-video] H324m outbound videocalls

[ISAAC GONZALEZ GONZALEZ]

Hola Sergio,
Thanks for your answer. First of all, congratulations for your useful work with video and H324m software.
As I'm not the manager of the network I can't test incoming calls now, but I'll try them as soon as possible.
Debuggin the H324m protocols I have found an interesting fact. In the h245.log there is only a "terminalCapabilitySet request" sent from the server to the mobile, and no response or more messages are sent between them, so I understand that channel control is not working correctly. Moreover, no H223 streams or media flows are saved in the debug proccess, I think due to the broken H245 control procedure.

----h245.log---

Hola Isaac,

Do incoming calls work?
Enable the h324m logs to check raw h223 streams, h245 negotiation and  
media flow.

*CLI> h324m debug level 5

Best regards
Sergio

>> Hello members,
>> I am trying to do outgoing 3G videocalls and playing a 3gp video. To do that I'm using the fontventa software and the 'originate' CLI command. I am using a Digium PRI card (TE 420) and an N70 mobile phone and I have built asterisk + libpri + zaptel + asterisk LLC patch + libpri LLC patch + fontventa software; however I think the LLC patches are not necesary since the call is established using the Bearer Capability field insted the LLC one.
>> Using old postings of the list I succeeded in stablishing the outgoing video call, but I cannot see any vídeo stream on my mobile phone when mp4play is running. I tried using X-Lite to initiate the video call with the H324m network but the result is the same. No video or audio stream seems to be transferred.
