Re: [Linphone-developers] video H264 codec

[Cynthia He]

I have figured out that one of the reasons of not seeing the codec is that media streamer was not able to load the plugins due to it using a relative path for the plugin directory (./lib/mediastreamer/plugins).

On OS X, current directory varies depending on how the app is started.  Since I have no control over how user will run the app, I found that the plugins can be loaded with ms_load_plugins(charString) after linphone core is created.  

Now I see from debug output that 4 plugins were loaded by media streamer.  But the new issue is that linphone_core_get_audio_codecs or linphone_core_get_video_codecs does not seem to know about any of the new codecs loaded.

How do I ask linphone core to refresh its list of codecs?

Here is the output from loading the plugins:

I looked around more.  Now my question seems to be:  

Will the out-of-box binary linphone SDK download with added libopenh264.dylib work with H264 codec, or do I have to build the sdk myself (something I have been trying to avoid)?

Thanks for any help.

Hello all,

This is on OS X 64-bit platform.

I am trying to send video using H264 codec.  My liblinphone library is directly from binary package downloaded from linphone.org.  I have compiled openh264 and have added the libopenh264.dylib to my Xcode project.  

I used wireshark to capture the network traffic and inspected the invite packet sent to sip server, and the only video codec in the SDP is VP8.

Is there anything else I need to do in order to use h264?

Thanks.
