[Asterisk-video] Use of app_mp4 application in Asterisk

Tue Jun 3 06:08:06 CDT 2008

Hi Sergio and Borja,
                     Many thanks for your replies. I tried both approaches,
but could not move much further.

Hi Sergio,
            From a thread
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-video/2007-July/000826.html , I
followed the instructions as my OS is also CentOs 5, but I could not compile
the mpeg4ip, and thus unable to move ahead. My steps and dump are at the
end. Are you aware of a better source for Mpeg4ip?

Hi Borja,
           I took the Asterisk 1.4 package from
http://www.i6net.com/downloads/pbx-14-packages/ and from the steps at
http://www.i6net.com/support/install/ 
	- tar xvzf asterisk_V1.4.20.1_2008-05-30_i386.tar.tar
	- cd asterisk_V1.4.20.1_2008-05-30
	 [root at localhost asterisk_V1.4.20.1_2008-05-30]# ./install.sh

	*CLI> show version
		Asterisk 1.4.20.1 built by root @ moreno on a i686 running
Linux on 2008-05-30 08:09:07 UTC
		The 'show version' command is deprecated and will be removed
in a future release. Please use 'core show version' instead.

	Using Xlite, I made a SIP call to extension 600.

      But I could not locate any app_mp4.so in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/

	Did I miss something? Please suggest.

Thanks and Regards
Sharan

Dear Members,

                              I am new to the list, Linux and Asterisk, and
I am trying to explore the possibilities of playing SWF and MP4 videos in
Asterisk. Web-searching provided 

?         Sergio?s Website http://sip.fontventa.com/ 

o   I was unable to get the Source code through SVN

o   I copied the app_mp4.c file, but saw that it contained a #include
<mp4.h> which I didn?t know where to find.

o   I downloaded mpeg4ip from
http://nixbit.com/cat/programming/libraries/mpeg4ip/ 

?  I could not install it due missing SDL package on my CentOs 5 

?  Installing SDL led to discovery of more missing Linux packages

?         From the website http://www.i6net.com/downloads/pbx-14-packages/
and the mail-thread at
http://www.asteriskguru.com/archives/asterisk-video-a-fontventa-binary-packa
ge-vt122834.html , I installed the asterisk package, but I could not locate
the app_mp4.so in the binaries, and was unable to run the mp4play()
application.

I would request members familiar with setting up app_mp4 to kindly suggest
the steps for making the package work. I am using a Cent Os 5 Linux
Platform.

Thanks for your help and time,

Regards

Sharan

Hi Sharan

Try configuring mpeg4ip with

./configure --disable-player
