[Ekiga-list] Ekiga/OpenMCU issues

Hello,
When testing Ekiga 2.0.0 with OpenMCU 2.2.1 for multi-point video
conferencing I face the following problems:
(OpenMCU lets upto 4 conference participants to be viewed in the Ekiga
window).

   - The picture appears very choppy in the remote video when there is
   motion involved.
   - If there are only less than 4 participants, in the conference, the
   viewing area of the non-existent participants display garbage like choppy
   images.
   - Running Ekiga with -d4 option shows "jitter buffer exceeded"
   messages.
   - Sometimes Ekiga hangs/crashes.

Maybe my Ekiga configuration settings are not correct or I require some
patches to be applied to Ekiga. Or it might be that
OpenMCU has a problem.

Shown below are the environment and configuration details.

Any help to solve the problem are most welcome.

Thanks & regards,
Raj Mohan


Environment:

   - Ekiga 2.0.9
   - OpenMCU V2.2.1
   - Debain/etch 2.6.12 P4 SMP 686.
   - The Ekiga 2.0.9 installation files were downloaded from
   www.ekiga.org.
   - OpenMCU is built without H.263 support.
   - Testing is being carried out in our local LAN using Logitech
   Quickcam EC(usb) and a JVC video camera (firewire).

Ekiga Configuration:

   - Max.jitter buffer size = 1024
   - Enable H.245 tunnelling - NO
   - Enable early H.245 - NO
   - Enable fast start procedure - NO
   - Send DTMP as 'string'.
   - Audio codecs - default settings
   - Enable echo cancellation - YES
   - Max.video bandwidth - 50
   - Frame rate - Slider is set more to the left of centre (a
   quantitative display would have been nice here).

OpenMCU configuration:

   - Video frame rate = 15 (1 <= vfs <= 31)
   - Video quality = 4  (1 <= vq <= 10)
