[Asterisk-video] name of file for video playback

[Jerry Geis]

Hi Borja,

Yes. I was thinking that was "special" for the h263 video format.
So I took steps using gstreamer to create the h264 format using the
openh264 from Cisco.
That took a while in itself, but finally was successful generating the h264
file.

But I don't understand what I'm missing that asterisk doesn't even find the
correct file name.
my name ends in .h264 - what else could it be.
It's not an error about video format - its an error about finding the file
name.

Thanks, I look forward to see what Ulex shares.
