Peter E. Presence information: you don't want to connect to everyone you _could_ call just to see if they're available. A single connection to a server can handle that for you. Addressing: it's easier to remember joe at example.com than it is to remember joes IP and port. Especially considering the fact that both IP and port may be dynamically configured on joes network, and further that joe may move between the networks. SIP: Session Initiation Protocol. It's meant to _initiate_ the session. Most other protocols used for VoIP work the same way, because it's the right way.

What I see when I invoke Ekiga is: "Error while accessing video device USB Camera (046d:08ad) "Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the color formats supported by Ekiga.

Update: I ran another Google search this morning and discovered the Logitech linux team's Web site. That lead me to discover that the QC Communicate STX is a non-UVC camera that uses the gspca drivers. Because I have these drivers loaded (gspca_zc3xx, gspca_main, videodev, v4l1_compat), the problem should be something else. If the appropriate driver is loaded (and the camera is recognized by both CamStream and Ekiga), where do I next look for the problem?

The sound input (webcam microphone) seems to be incompatible with skype, running on Ubuntu 8.04, but the webcam seems to work okay with Ubuntu and Ekiga. The only problem that I have so far found, is that Ekiga does not (in the version that I previously cited) provide for recording video clips, so the only way that I can record videoclips with the webcam, at present, is to reboot into Windows (XP) and record a videoclip (to send to family members who do not have or use video call software), which, unfortunately, is limited to the .wmv file format.

I just want to share an answer to one of the concerns I posted: The problem was and is : That comunication between most ATA and ekiga softphone can be made with only two codecs: G711 and G726.? (G729 is pattented so ekiga doesn't use it). So comunication with G711 has so good quality but just when bandwith is good. So the only option for low bandwith communication beteween ATA and ekiga softphone? is G726. The problem is that communication between ekiga and ATA(and viceversa) with G726 is too bad. The sound is bad, robotic and with noice. I didn't know wat was the problem because I tried communication between ATA to ATA with this codec and the sound was perfect. Then I tought the problem was ekiga.net sip service and tried iptel.org sip service, but the problem between ATA to ekiga softphone was the same. After googling the whole internet I think I found an answer you can read in the link below: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2006-September/166357.html There are actually two conflicting methods of packing G.726-32 samples into bytes. RFC 3551 has this to say: Note that the "little-endian" direction in which samples are packed into octets in the G726-16, -24, -32 and -40 payload formats specified here is consistent with ITU-T Recommendation X.420, but is the opposite of what is specified in ITU-T Recommendation I.366.2 Annex E for ATM AAL2 transport. A second set of RTP payload formats matching the packetization of I.366.2 Annex E and identified by MIME subtypes AAL2-G726-16, -24, -32 and -40 will be specified in a separate document. That's all well and good, but there are some phones out there that pack samples into RTP payloads using the AAL2 direction. This causes interop nightmares (i.e. your phones talk G.726-32, someone elses phones talk G.726-32, but it sounds rubbish when you attempt a conversation). I would guess that this might be why people avoid the G.726 codec. *********************************************************************************** Thanks for all your hard work and voluntary time making ekiga!

Look at the Account window. 10 secs after starting ekiga, is your account registered? If not, what is the error? Try right-click, Edit and check that the information you entered is good. Finally, explain what you mean by "it does not work"; you could also send us a -d 4 output. -- Eugen From Eugen.Dedu at pu-pm.univ-fcomte.fr Tue Sep 8 20:53:47 2009 From: Eugen.Dedu at pu-pm.univ-fcomte.fr (Eugen Dedu) Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:53:47 +0200 Subject: [Ekiga-list] Cannot unlock Diamondcard account In-Reply-To: <4AA6B995.50604@gmail.com> References: <4AA6B995.50604@gmail.com> Message-ID: <4AA6C45B.8030808@pu-pm.univ-fcomte.fr> Jim Barber wrote: > I have just signed up for the Diamondcard call out service.

Thanks for the heads up on the account. Both the Ekiga and Diamondcard accounts were unregistered even though the information apparently was in there. I re-entered the information and in a few seconds after clicking okay, both accounts were registered. My account was still locked so I sent another email to them. They next day when I checked, the account was unlocked. Thanks for the tip. I tried a few calls from my boat on wifi from Mexico to San Diego, CA. I spoke to a friend for a half hour with a nearly perfect connection, no echo, no time delay and only a slight breaking up on my part. The previous connection was to a voice mail, again San Diego, with some echo. That evening I called the voice mail from a location closer to the router. I talked to my friend I left the voice mail with a fair connection, there was still the echo, a slight delay and moderate breaking up, mostly on my part. A call to another friend in SD had a poor connection and after a few minutes she was no longer able to hear me. There was a lot of echo and a lot of breaking up on both ends. All calls were to land lines. The connection to the internet here degrades in the evening, sometimes we cannot connect to any websites. The next morning, late, I called from a wired LAN connection to my companion on the boat. She used my Skype account so that I could call her on my Skype-in number. The connection was good with no breaking up, no appreciable delay, but there was echo on both ends. I pass this along soly as information to anyone who it may interest. I will reading the mailing list carefully to see if anything comes up that may help me. I have a Toshiba Satellite that has Ubuntu 9.04 where Skype is unusable. I am glad Ekiga is working well enough to be able to use.

I have Ekiga installed and setup, on Ubuntu 8.04, and have tested it with a webcam, for making video calls, and, that is all okay, but I don't know anyone else with Ekiga, for me to communicate with, to try it for live calls. I am with Optus, with ADSL quota of somewhere around 15GB per month. I notice that your email address shows that you are with Bigpond.

The webcam and Ubuntu 8.04, seem to work okay with Ekiga (the version of Ekiga shows as being ekiga 2.0.12), and, the About box also shows "Ekiga is full-featured SIP and H.323 compatible VoIP, IP-Telephony and Videoconferencing application that allows you to make audio and video calls to remote users with SIP and H.323 hardware or software.". The webcam sound input (inbuilt microphone) appears to work okay with Ekiga, but not with Skype, and, from what I understand, as yet, calls (or, at least, video calls) cannot be made between Ekiga and Skype clients. Once again, if I am incorrect in my understanding, perhaps someone from Ekiga, could correct me. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

Unfortunately the few that I need to talk to are windows, apple, skype users. I'm Linux Fedora 11.

I may be wrong, but I understand that Skype and Ekiga are incompatible; mutually exclusive, and that calls cannot be made between one and the other. If I am wrong, hopefully someone from Ekiga will correct me on this. Because of (my understanding of) the incompatibility between Skype and Ekiga, I have both now installed, and, accounts set up for each, with test calls successfully now made to each (Skype is not as easy to get going - I needed to use a headset, to get sound input working, and the microphone in my webcam had worked okay with the Ekiga test call). But, due to the version of Ekiga that is in the Ubuntu 8.04 package repository, and, the inability to answer calls with that version (2.0.12), I apparently do not have a working version of Ekiga, and, one is apparently not easily available for Ubuntu 8.04. Fedora 11 that you have, may have a 3.x version of Ekiga, in its (RPM ?) package repository, so you may have better luck with getting that working, but, as mentioned above, I believe that will still not let you communicate with Skype clients, for which, I believe, you need to use Skype, or, otherwise, you need to convince them to switch to (or, to also use) Ekiga. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

You won't need a headset if you have a usb mic and speakers. I have a small stereo in the output from the computer and that does for everything. The mic from guitar hero works with Audacity and other inputs but not skype. Yes I installed using yum in Fedora and it did so seamlesly however it apparently insists on signing up to Diamond card before I can use it, and that is something I don't like, Open source doesn't force one into a position.

To reproduce: * install ekiga 3.2.5 (Debian testing) * create H.323 account (gatekeeper 194.95.240.220, username ab, no pw) * call h323:004910097920389 * "The gatekeeper cleared the call" The identical configuration works with 2.0.12 (which might need a stunserver configured depending on which network you're on).

The classic sound problem of linux. My guess as to what is happening:: When you start an application that uses openal, it takes exclusive ownership of the sound card. Consequently, no other application on the box can access the microphone side of that sound card. Now, Ekiga cannot access the microphone. Sadness. The problem is that one application on a box should not be able to grab exclusive acccess to the sound card, and lock all other applications out from the sound card. Imagine this happening to your desktop apps. Your mail tool could make a beep with incoming messages, but your IM client could not make a beep for events. Over the years, there have been various attempts to solve this problem. You have artsd - which had serious flaws. You have the alsa type approach, of putting lots of sound cards in the box. let the system have sound card 0, and Ekiga uses sound card 1. This actually works quite well. When this approach is used with OSS, the result is perfect... You then have cleverer cards/drivers, which let multiple applications access the sound card at the same time, provided they use the same sample rate. Now, ptlib&opal are based on 8khz, which is a bit lower than the desktop rate of 48khz.. I think that Ekiga and your openal app are having a problem as they are trying to access the microphone at different rates. yes, Ekiga can up/down sample the rates to 48khz. At the cost of cpu time. If it is a USB headset/mic, well, will the usb connection cope with the data, and the latency requirements?? Pulse was invented as a sound server that would allow all applications to access any sound device at any rate. Pulse is the main approach on ubuntu. With pulse, there are problems.. High latency. High cpu requirements. The control guis are ugly. The control guis are not reliable, intuitive or even sensible. I am forced to conclude that pulse stands for "patheticly useless linux sound engineers" Derek.

I'm myself an Ubuntu user, and testing the Ekiga stable branch on Ubuntu 9.04 (latest stable release) Ekiga suffer of a very large delay using the default ubuntu setup (especially when using video). By very large delay I mean at least 5 seconds, which makes Ekiga pretty useless. I tryed various setup and the only solution I found was to remove the pulse audio package; all other setups failed (like using pasuspender or explicitly killing the pulse audio deamon failed as pulse audio still startup when starting Ekiga). When removing the pulse audio package Ekiga perform well, but the desktop is broken, e.g. the default audio/video player (totem) is silent (probably because it tries to use pulse audio be default). Thus the "by default" ubuntu setup turns into a nightmare to reconfigure properly the desktop when removing pulse audio. It is not a big deal for an old timer like me, but it is not a pratical solution to advice removing pulse audio for the "average" ubuntu user. Generaly speacking, it is probably an issue with distros trying to be cutting edge like Ubuntu or Fedora as they want to inlcude new technologies pretty fast even if those tehcnologies are not mature enough. Still IMHO the real issue here is the Linux audio stack still sucks, i.e. ALSA. The ALSA API is overbloated, the ALSA team is not really responsive to bug reports and probably the code base is hard to modify. That would explain why sound server deamons keeps coming back years after years (like arts, esd, pulse audio, phonon etc.) as a practical workaround for ALSA deficiencies. Thinking of the forseeable future, new sound deamons like pulse audio might be a good thing as it will help ALSA to fix its issues; it is better to deal with 1 deamon than with several applications directly using the whole ALSA API. IMHO this work has to be done, we cannot counter it by saying it was working well enough before the pulse audio introduction. Still the actual situation is pretty bad... As some major actors of the GNU/Linux VoIP are following the pulse audio trend, like gstreamer/empathy or even skype (which seems to have a pulse audio plugin now), and e.g. nokia is giving cash for its mobile platform (maemo and the N900 hardware) we have to compete...

If it?s not possible, Could video Ekiga to be transformed in order to be showed by screen? Regards, Jes?s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, In Ekiga 3.0.1 /src/devices/videoinput.cpp file you can find the frame buffer which gives you the YUV data of the frame. you can transform that YUV data to RGB if you need. P.S. But remember YUV is not in 1:1:1 ratio it is in YUV 420. So you have to access Y, U, V data separately in the buffer and transform to RGB, RGB is in 1:1:1 ratio Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I?m using Ekiga 3.2.5. Do you know if the frame buffer gives you the YUV data of the frame in this version? I don?t find /src/devices/videoinput.cpp in this version , however you can find /lib/engine/videoinput/videoinput-core.cpp . Also I have videooutput-core.cpp file. I think if I want to send video in this format, this would be the file that I have to touch?use? instead of videoinput one, wouldn't it? I add videoinput-core.cpp for you can check is it's similar to videoinput.cpp of Ekiga 3.0.1. Thank?s! Regards, Jes?s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Videoinput-core.cpp seems doesnt give any clue, il go through ekiga 3.2.4 and let u know soon.

If u want to use 804, great - but - tell me why u don't just upgrade to 904? thx. that should work well. > Ubuntu 8.04 is the latest Long Term Support version, and so is the version likely to be the most stable, and which is likely to have the least problems over time, with system upgrades "into the unknown", which is what happens with the non-LTS versions. To me, Ubuntu LTS versions, relative to the later versions that are not LTS, is like the way that the Debian stable versions used to be (but not the way it is now, where Debian stable, now, apparently, means Debian testing, especially where a system upgrade is done, like from Debian 4 to Debian 5), relative to Debian testing. It is about relative stability and support, both of which are more reliable for the LTS versions of Ubuntu. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

For the moment, max resolution in ekiga is about 640x480, so I suppose 1.3MP or 2MP should give the same results. There were 1-2 attempts, even patches (see mailing lists) to let ekiga use higher resolutions, up to 2MP and with H264 if I remember correctly, and it seems it is not difficult, however the work stopped there. > Has anybody done subjective or quantitative comparisons between cameras in > these two classes of quality?

However, the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 (and also the notebook model) is far superior to any webcam which I had before. I can't comment on the Microsoft one. The Logitech is extremely light sensitive and has really good optics though at rather wide angle. Autofocus is not working yet under linux, but you do not need it. The software Logitech provides for Windows is very demanding. You should find a way only to install the Windows drivers. Under Ubuntu Jaunty with standard Ekiga I have problems with the Logitech Pro. Often Ekiga can not open the device, as if it had not been closed properly before. Running cheese once or twice inbetween fixes it. If you are bying new Cams and have some time to sort out problems I would recommend the Logitech Pro ones.

Our next regularly scheduled BTIP meeting is Sat Oct 3, 12Noon - 3P PDST UTC-8 are the scheduled topic hours. The 12Noon hour is the specifically Ekiga/ & all voip topics discussion hour. & anyone is free to talk abot these issues at any time, in addition to that specifically topiced hour.

It works perfectly for me with h323. We got a little further with her this morning. She is able to connect to the video conferencing system and enter the conference number with the dialpad. On my screen I see her name pop up but the window is black. I can hear her but she can't hear or see me. So here are the problems. - she can't hear me. Her speakers are working, I can hear her e-mail prompts - she can't see me. When she pulls down the View menu the Remote selection is grayed out - I can't see her. On her end she sees herself in the video window so her camera is on and is displaying video. It just isn't being sent. We've verified the correct Audio and Video settings. The only other thing I can think of is firewall issues. We told the Windows firewall to allow Ekiga through. I haven't looked at other firewalls (Google, Yahoo, etc.). Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot are very much appreciated. Remember this works fine for me. We're dialing the same video conferencing bridge and using the same software (Ekiga 3.2.6 Windows version).

Again, video is probably stopping at FW or NAT. these days, almost no ISPs purposely block SIP (would not surprise me for some that offer SIP try to block any other VOIP - some corporations do this) > We've verified the correct Audio and Video settings.

What exactly did you allow through ? as a test, I'd disable the FW completely just for a minute to confirm/deny. I believe telling windows to allow the ekiga.exe should be enough. Remember - SIP uses 5060, and other ports STUN 3478 SIP also uses basically "random" ports to transfer voice and video thereafter. So all these ports must be open for everything to work. For example - when I use ekiga to register at ekiga.net, and place a video call to the echo test at 500 at ekiga.net, I see the voice incoming at port 5072, but the video H61 at port 5074 So for SIP to work over what is presumably a NAT connection at each end, the NAT router (your DSL/cable modem router) needs to be "SIP aware" or have a SIP ALG that allows it to know what to do with these strange packets. Otherwise - based on the FW rules - they are dropped. You can statically configure FW to allow all possible ports used by SIP, and then configure your DSL router with static NAT to always get these to your PC (both you and your lady friend) Ekiga 3.X, during initial setup (druid ?) tries to configure FW/NAT traversal,STUN, etc... automatically. If ekiga is using STUN, then everything should be simplified for each of your local firewalls. ( in ekiga 3.2.5 you can see this in the ekiga.conf file, located in your user's profile directory) so onto your real question, how to troubleshoot/fix this ? * I'd start by looking at the config of each DSL router - is there some parameter called "SIP" or "SIP ALG" or "VOIP" ? enable it. - if not, configure NAT to statically forward at 3478 and 5060-5062 to your PC. * Remove the ekiga config, run the config druid, and let ekiga detect the best method. use the ekiga.net account at 1st, later you can add whatever one you want. * register to ekiga.net, use the echo test 500 at ekiga.net to test voice/video. if this works from each side, you can be pretty sure that at least the local ends are OK. * if possible, take a sniffer trace, and see which destination ports are used for the voice and the video. * add whatever accounts you'd like to use and try the video conf. system. Hope this is helpful. Best regards, > > Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot are very much appreciated. > Remember this works fine for me.

From nasr.laili at tin.it Sun Sep 27 17:47:32 2009 From: nasr.laili at tin.it (Ennio-Sr) Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:47:32 +0200 Subject: [Ekiga-list] unable to register my accounts Message-ID: <20090927174732.GA13204@deby.ei.hnet> Hi all! up to a few weeks ago ekiga worked smoothly. Then I started to get a 'Registration failed: Timeout' warning together with 'Error while opening video device USB camera'. As I received no reply to my previous request for help sent to this list I thought it could depend from the 'old' version I was using. So I upgraded my debian system to 'squeeze' and installed ekiga 3.2.5 but I still cannot get a connection! I'm enclosing the debug.log hoping you can give me some hints to overcome this empasse. Thanks for your attention, ennio PS: When I run ekiga I get a warning panel inviting to set up port forwarding manually: I did that but still no success... ----------------- partial log ------------- 2009/09/27 19:16:58.847 0:01.763 Version 3.2.5 by on Unix Linux (2.6.26-2-686-i686) with PTLib (v2.6.4) at 2009/9/27 19:16:58.847 2009/09/27 19:16:58.848 0:01.763 Ekiga git revision: unknown 2009/09/27 19:16:58.850 0:01.765 Ekiga registered on D-Bus: org.ekiga.Ekiga 2009/09/27 19:16:58.866 0:01.781 PWLib File handle high water mark set: 17 Thread unblock pipe 2009/09/27 19:16:58.867 0:01.782 PTLib Thread high water mark set: 2 ... 2009/09/27 19:16:58.873 0:01.789 HalManager_dbus Initialising HAL Manager 2009/09/27 19:16:58.878 0:01.793 HalManager_dbus Populating device list 2009/09/27 19:16:59.026 0:01.942 HalManager_dbus Detected V4L capabilities on /dev/video0 name: USB camera ... 2009/09/27 19:16:59.358 0:02.274 HalManager_dbus Populating full interface list failed - The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files 2009/09/27 19:16:59.359 0:02.275 Detecting V4L2 devices 2009/09/27 19:16:59.360 0:02.275 PV4L2Plugin detected device metadata at /sys/class/video4linux/ 2009/09/27 19:16:59.360 0:02.275 PV4L2Plugin detected capture device USB camera 2009/09/27 19:16:59.441 0:02.356 PWLib File handle high water mark set: 28 Thread unblock pipe 2009/09/27 19:16:59.441 0:02.356 PTLib Thread high water mark set: 5 2009/09/27 19:16:59.441 0:02.357 OpalMan Created manager. 2009/09/27 19:16:59.442 0:02.357 OpalMan Registered endpoint with prefix pc 2009/09/27 19:16:59.442 0:02.357 OpalEP Created endpoint: pc 2009/09/27 19:16:59.810 0:02.725 PCSS Created PC sound system endpoint.

I was able to connect a few minutes ago after disabling 'lokkit' (AFAICR this was not necessary with the previous version). Now it still says I must enable port_forwarding manually (I've done that in my router) but after that it gets connected.

You can check by sending us the -d 4 output, see http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Debugging_Ekiga#How_to_get_a_debug_output_2, or simply look inside for the work "large". - for information, ekiga 3 tests the network type not during initial setup/Assistant, but at the beginning of each run, so it's automatic.
