<p>Hi Jerry,</p>
<p>You don't say how you created the video file?</p>
<p>Asterisk video support is v. basic. It can only playback video it created using it's own specific file format for the video file. In general you
cannot use it to playback videos created by 3rd party tools.<br>
</p>
<p>What does work (if you have asterisk configured correctly)....</p>
<p>Invoke Asterisk Record() from a video capable sip client (e.g.
linphone/jitsi should work fine here) and which is configured to
support audio&video. Make a call. Asterisk will create the
audio file and an accompanying video file (e.g. .h264) in the
same directory. Now invoke Asterisk Playback() to play the files
back. If the SIP client and Asterisk negotiate the same
video codec that was used to record the initial call then
Asterisk will play back both audio+video streams.<br>
</p>
<p>Note: Asterisk does no video transcoding.</p><p>Note: If video plays back at the wrong speed it's possibly a result of <a href="https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26554">https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26554</a>.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Ian</p>

<div>Hi Mark,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your reply...</div>
<div>I just tried what you suggested on only got audio. I
created a wav file and put it in the /tmp</div>
<div>directory just like the video.h264 file. So /tmp has
video.h264 and video.wav both.</div>
<div>I then placed the call and only heard the audio from the
wav file. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I used this for my call file:</div>
<div>
<div>Channel: SIP/2002</div>
<div>Context: testing</div>
<div>Extension: 999999</div>
<div>Priority: 1</div>
<div>Application: Playback</div>
<div>Codecs: h263,h264,vp8,g722,ulaw,alaw,w<wbr>av<br>
</div>
<div>Data: /tmp/video<br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My Bria 4 softphone uses the h263 and h264 codecs and of
course wav file audio.</div>
<div>Based on your look of the code did I miss something to
trigger the playing of the video file?</div>
<div>I can extract the audio out to a seperate file - so not a
show stopper for me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No errors showed up on the Asterisk CLI when I did my
test.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks so much,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
