Hello Rick, interesting approach. We can identify video calls by special SIP headers and/or sdp contents and have Kamailio trigger a webhook or something.
But even though I would like to try it at home, I see huge issues with maintaining such a solution in production. This is so far off from anything standard that you need to have this one guy at hand when all hell breaks loose. I'd rather favor Henning's suggestion of reverting to a PBX and implement the media handling there. Not that fancy, but maintainable by the average support guy that comes in for half a year and leaves afterwards.

Hello Christoph, I held back responding, but since it does not seem directly possible with Kamailio here's what I what try. RTP frames have a Payload Type which is usually negotiated in rtpmap attributes in SDP, but there are static mappings for many codecs. I would first figure out if you can find a common pattern in your (local) traffic that separates the two kinds of payload. Since the Payload Type is at a fixed offset (the lower 7 bits of the second RTP byte, the 8th bit is an M-bit) you could instruct a firewall to mangle/redirect traffic to your video wall. You can easily ignore the M bit in the same byte by specifying two values for the M-bit + Payload Type byte.

You may or may not need to dynamically alter the firewall bypassing. But in general, you can set where the Payload Type on the local end receives video streams -- possibly with different codecs. https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kamailio.net%2Fdocs%2Fmodules%2F5.6.x%2Fmodules%2Fsdpops.html&data=05%7C01%7Cchristoph.ruediger%40tkelevator.com%7C39d6f199f58a4292475508da37ca4efe%7C84d9a216e2854aacb1630dfd0c074546%7C0%7C0%7C637883639293090653%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=yM8OseanphQZ2n68IGBwmbzfKh2diS255BnoYrzhZO8%3D&reserved=0 You may or may not need to use Kamailio to fork a connection to your video software, depending on whether it wants SIP to talk to it. This probably gives you the control you need, but it is a bit of a hack. Which is why I held back to see if others knew a more direct method of doing what you want. It would be interesting to hear if / how this works for you, by the way. It might even be a nice blog article.
