[Ekiga-list] Theora video freezes on Ekiga 3.2.7 Beta (Windows XP )

[Dave Koelmeyer <davekoelmeyer me com>]

Hi All,

Wondering if the following is a known issue, perhaps due to the beta status of Ekiga on Windows?

I am using Ekiga 3.2.7 Beta on Windows XP Home SP3. I place a SIP video call to another user using Ekiga 3.2.7 on Ubuntu Linux 10.10. For the video codecs, Theora only is selected at both ends.

Upon the connection being successfully established, I can see remote video fine (quality is great). However, for the other user, the remote video they see (of me) either freezes randomly during a call, or, freezes almost immediately upon answer (the latter seems to occur more often).

The call however remains connected (e.g audio is fine) just that the video as my other user is seeing of me from their end freezes. The behaviour is consistent.

Using H261 on the other hand works fine in both directions.

Both clients are on ADSL connections, behind home NAT routers. Network connectivity otherwise is fine.

I notice that the behaviour I'm seeing is similar to that reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551441 (although in my case the client doesn't freeze per se).

Any pointers? If you require a debug output please let me know.

Cheers,
Dave
