Hi, tonight I did a couple of tests with my new ekiga installation. I put up two machines running the latest snapshots on Ubuntu Hardy and called each other directly (without my Asterisk)
The goal is of course videoconference. So I tested how the new video codecs would perform. My settings: Bandwith between 192kbit/s and 1024 kbit/s (influence on image quality but not the issues mentioned below) H261 - (Ekiga Ekiga) - works fine - as expected. Image quality as I know it from the old times :-) H263 - (Ekiga Ekiga) - connection established - but no video transmission. Each side sees its own video only - see attached -d 4 log H263 - (Ekiga - Linphone) - works fine - but Linphone shows somehow poor image quality - blocks and pixels. H263 - (Ekiga - Xtenphone - Windows) - works fine (this one I did over my Asterisk as I recieved a video call :-) during my tests) Theora (Ekiga-Ekiga) Just works fine, good image quality Theora (Ekiga-Linphone) Just works fine (nice images on Linphone - unlike H263) H264 (Ekiga-Ekiga) - Ekiga crashes. See attached -d 4 trace H264 (Ekiga-Linphone) works for a couple of seconds, then Ekiga crashes. see attached -d 4 trace I's probably worth mentioning that the Hardy Snapshot of Ekiga doesn't find its libx264.so. Ubuntu installs a file called libx264.so.57. I had to symlink. Ekiga complains in the -d 4 log, starts anyway but crashes when I try mpeg4. The strange thing is that I cannot determine the image size by setting in video devices. (probably it is adjusting the cam and not the transmission) Anyway. I hope my tests are of some use - and if not please give me a hint what I should test or trace. Greetings Conrad PS. Traces obviously are to big for the forum - I send them with private mail to whoever needs/wants them _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
