Vadim,
Thanks.
It was great to work on it.
About your comments, please forgive my lack of comprehension of SDP
protocol and of Qutecom libraries, but I would like to understant it
completely.
I've just kept the payload and used it on the loop to avoid the
assignment of "fmtp" attribute to the wrong format/codec.
What you are telling me is that it won't happen because it will exist
only one payload media at a time ?
Thanks and best regards!
Mauro.

I only took a quick look at it, and the only suggestion i have
is that we really don't need to copy the payload number from fmtp
string,
we need only copy what follows it.
so the test confirming presence of 111 in it is actually not needed.
Othewise - congratulations it ois GREAT work.
I'll try to integrate your patches into qutecom tomorrow and will give
you more feeback
Thanks

Hi Vadim!
Patch worked perfectly on my 2.1 changed version of Openwengo source
codes.
The changesets follow attached.
I've made them after paste the changes on current version 2.2 of
Qutecom source codes.
As I've said before, they need to be validated considering that the
version 2.2 codes with these patches were not even compiled here.
Could you please give me a reply on that ?
Thanks and best regards,
Mauro.

Thanks a lot for the quicky response Vadim, and sorry by the too
frequent questions.
I agree with you to proceed with option 1.
Best regards,

Mauro,
I agree that option 2 is better, however from practical standpoint
option 1 is quicker to implement and less invasive.
So i would suggest option 1 for the moment, however this is your
decision
Thanks

Hi Vadim!
I have a new issue here.
On "ph_msession_audio_stream_hardstart" method, the field "ptime" of
"phastream_t" stream struct is initialized before call to
"open_audio_device".
Now that the final value of "ptime" field will be known just after
"encoder_init()", invocation, I need to choose one of two approaches:
1- Get the "encoder_init()" and "decoder_init()" blocks up and before
"open_audio_device" invokation, taking care to execute the "cleanup"
method whether any error occurs;
2- Create a separated field on "phcodec_t" to a method responsible to
calculate the final frame size (20, 30, 40ms, etc) that will be
executed on beggining of "ph_msession_audio_stream_hardstart" method,
using the "int" result on "open_audio_device" and encoder/decoder
initialization methods;
I prefer this approuch for the following reasons: 1- It will reduce the
calculation of final "ptime" to just one point (now it is made on
encoder and decoder initialization); 2- We can use the result computed
once on every points inside this method; 3- We could initialize the
"phcodec_t" respective field with iLBC implementation, and left as NULL
for the others codecs that I don't know whether have especific
packetization rules through "fmtp" attribute;
Any ideas, sugestions ?
Thanks and best regards,
Mauro.

Hi Vadim,
I've noticed just one more issue.
We are passing "ph_media_payload_s" to the "encoder_init" so it can
decide the packetization, but we are not considering the global "ptime"
value that comes on global media atribute "ptime: 20".
The codec need to know this value as well, because it will be used
whether it's negotiated and no mode is informed.
I think we have two choices:
1- Replicate the "ptime" value to "ptime" field of "ph_media_payload_s"
before it's passed to "encoder_init";
YES

Vadim,
I think I understood now why you've suggested to store the "mode" info
present on new "fmtp" field of the "ph_media_payload_s" on field
"ptime" by the "encoder_init" of the associated codec.
This way the steps below could be considerable reduced with:
Step 3: the value will be stored on field "ptime" (and can be stored on
"mode" too for accuracy);
Step 4: We validate the "ptime" of the specific payload. If the value
is different from "0", this value will be assigned to field "ptime" of
"phastream_t". If it's equal to "0", we use the global "ptime" present
on "ph_mstream_params_t";
Step 5: Is not necessary. Because we will deal with only "ptime" field
on "phastream_t".
I think this is really a better and simpler approach.
It was that you were thinking about ?
Best regards,
Mauro

Hi
Vadim,
Let's try to close all the steps of the entire procedure:
1- "fmtp" media attributes will be stored on "eXosip_event" structure
during execution of method "eXosip_event_add_sdp_info";
For now I'm saving only the value strings of the attribute pair, like:
"111 mode=30". Do you want to save the complete attribute string, like
"fmtp: 111 mode=30"?
2- The scope of "eXosip_event" structure on media activation ends on
method "ph_call_media_start". So, in it we initialize the "fmtp" field
of each "ph_media_payload_s" structure of "ph_msession_s";
Just one question here. Is "fmtp" atribute unique for a especific
format/codec ? If so, everything is fine.
3- On "ph_msession_audio_stream_hardstart" method we will inform the
"ph_media_payload_s*" as a parameter to the "encoder_init" method
which, on the case of iLBC codec, will update the "mode" field with the
respective mode collected from the "fmtp" field;
Any problems with that Vadim ? You sugested to put this value on
"ptime" field, but I think it would be better to store the mode info on
the respective "mode" field. Now the decision is yours :-)
4- Still on this method, we will assign the "ptime" field of the
"phastream_t" struct with the global value of "ptime" from
"ph_mstream_params_t", and a new field "mode" with the value of the
especific payload "mode" value given by "sp->ipayloads[0].mode";
Still ok until here ?
5- On "ph_astream_decoded_framesize_get" method, we will priorize the
"mode" field value to the calculation of fame size, followed by the
"ptime" field, both from "phastream_t". The code will look like:
if (stream->mode)
{
// Mode changes the final frame sime the same way "ptime" does.
Modify the framesize to manage the informed mode.
framesize = framesize * stream->mode/ 20;
}
else if (stream->ptime)
{
// Default ptime is 20ms, modify the framesize to manage the
new ptime.
framesize = framesize * stream->ptime / 20;
}
I think that's it.
Please let me know whether I forgot something.
Thanks,
Mauro.

Hi Vadim!
Thanks for the reply.
In fact I need some help of more experienced guys like you to define
the points I haven't still decided.
They were detailed on email below, and I'll list them shortly here:
1- Are you fine with my choice to invoke method
"eXosip_get_sdp_media_format_info" from method
"eXosip_event_add_sdp_info" instead of calling it from method
"eXosip_get_sdp_media_info" ?
OK
2- Should I create a field on struct "ph_mstream_param_s"
(using a global approach, like on ptime), or should I use the "mode"
field already present on elements of "ipayloads" field ? I'm not
completely sure how to handle this situation by now, because I don't
know all scenarios (like I've said on prior email, always I have just
one "ph_mstream_param_s" on my session (of 4 maximum), that have
configured just one "ph_media_payload_s" on "ipayloads" field (of 16
maximum).
Considering this scenario, maybe a global "mode" field on
"ph_mstream_param_s" struct will provide a cleaner solution. But
whether we do need to consider another streams, we will have to map the
"mode" on the respective "ph_media_payload_s" field.
I think it would be
better
to
implement it per payload.
I was thinking to add a const 'char *fmtp' and int ptime
ph_media_payload_s.
if we could pass ph_media_payload to the codec intializer it could fill
ptime based on fmtp. What do you think?
3- During the calculation of allocation blocks using
"ph_astream_decoded_framesize_get", I'm thinking to change the
algorithm just to validate first the existence of a "mode" attribute
that will have priority agains "ptime".
This is the only change this method will probably have.
In line with my previous comment, the ph_astream_decoded_framesize_get
will use ptime
from ph_media_payload_s structure if nonzero
For the sake of simplicity I've omitted changes pointed
like the creation of "format_modifiers" on "eXosip_event" struct, and
the names given to new methods (like
"eXosip_get_sdp_media_format_info"), considering that you have agreed
with them.
Please confirm that to me too.
Ok for me
This approach only makes me unconfortable considering that
"mode" attribute value is dependent of the codec or format. So maybe we
should in fact extend the "phcodec_t" struct to accept a new field that
is a method responsible to return the frame size considering a
parameter of type "ph_media_payload_s".
If we choose to follow this idea, maybe we should remove "ptime" field
of "ph_mstream_params_s" struct and update its value on "ptime" field
of each valid "ph_media_payload_s" element.
This is valid approach
too,
i
think that what i'm proposing (setting ph_media_payload_s.ptime
in the codec initializer based on fmtp) will require less modification
to the code, but otherwise your approach is equivalent so it is your
call.
Thanks
Vadim
