[Ekiga-list] Ekiga/OpenMCU issues

["Raj Mohan Kovilath" <rmohan43 gmail com>]

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)
