Hi Nathan,<br>
<br>
I can only speak about my Media Mixe (first Install libgsm ;)<br>
<br>
For my experience although it seems that multiconference solutions have
great end user potential I have not seen any commercial interest on it.
That's one of the main reasons I have not continue improving my
solution.<br>
<br>
Anyone have a different perception about these kind of services?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Sergio<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was wondering what video conferencing solutions are actively
being developed and used today. I have been reading as much as
possible in the past couple months, and haven't been able to find any
solutions that are stable enough to be used in production. Here's what
I've tried so far:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- app_conference</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is the only one I've been able to get more than two videos
going on so far. It seems pretty basic, and as soon as I start using
DTMF to switch videos, it stops working right. I usually end up
getting distorted video, which looks like it's trying to mix the video
and show two people in one stream (which I thought app_conference
wouldn't do). When everyone hangs up after this happens, the module
won't exit properly, and I have to manually kill asterisk and start it
up again.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- VMukti (1videoconference)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I started installing this, but it seems like overkill for what I
need, and it doesn't seem very mature. I didn't really want to use a
seperate Windows Server with MSSQL, etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Confiance VideoMixer</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wasn't ever able to get this compiled. First off, the
confiance_videomixer-0.1.tar.gz download seems to be missing. When I
finally tracked it down from an old mirror site, I couldn't get it to
properly recognize the ffmpeg libraries. I gave up thinking I would
try Sergio García Murillo's Media Mixer</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Media Mixer (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://sip.fontventa.com/">http://sip.fontventa.com</a>)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This looked more promising at first, but I couldn't get it to
compile either. First it was missing /usr/lib/libagg.a, and then is
failed with:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgsm<br>
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status<br>
make[1]: *** [mcu] Error 1<br>
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/mcumediaserver/media'<br>
make: *** [all] Error 2<br>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To be honest, I'm very surprised at the lack of documentation
and activity for projects related to asterisk and video conferencing.
It seems like there is a lot of potential, especially since the audio
and video quality of one-to-one calls are so good. Are people actually
using these projects for more than testing, or is everyone using
commercial solutions? For my requirements, I would be very happy to
find something that would just take the first 4 callers, mix their
video into a 2x2 array, and then send that video back to all
participants.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Nate</div>
