Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 11:51 am Post subject: [Asterisk-video] Playing Videos in Asterisk
Dear List Members,
I have been trying to play videos in Asterisk, while
doing a SIP call from the softphone Bria. I have got several pointers, but
haven't been successful yet. I gather that Asterisk plays audio and video
separately, thus to make a function like Playback(test) work in your
dialplan, you require two files - an audio file say test.gsm and a video
file test.h263.
I didn't have properly generated/synchronized files, and the .h263 files
which I generated using FFmpeg are not playing in Asterisk. I debugged the
code, and it appears to me that the channel's native format of my file is
not correct (function ast_openvstream).
I would request list members to kindly direct me to any working examples
(audio/video files which play on asterisk), documentation or sample steps to
be able to play the video in Asterisk. I am under the impression that it
will play possibly on the video screen of the softphone, which currently is
streaming live video.
Please excuse my ignorance, I am fairly new to this area.
Thanks for your help,
Regards
Sharan

You have 2 solutions,
- use the app_mp4 application (use mp4/3gp file specifc format,
compatible with only RFC2429, and h264).
- use FFasterisk to generate the .h263 files needed by Asterisk
(comptible with only the RFC2190)

Just one quick note.. app_mp4 can stream rfc 2910 hinted mp4 files,
the trick part is to find an encoder that generates it..
Best regards

Yes, that's true...
You can easily record contents from the mp4save but not prepare
prerecord files from standard formats.
For the moment...

Hi Borja/Sergio,
Thanks very much for your response. I am currently trying
.h263 files, and have used ffasterisk to generate the files from a .avi file
as:
But I haven't been able to play the file using Playback(out). Asterisk finds
the format unsupported. I am not aware if the generated video file needs to
be recodified like the audio file. The generated .h263 does not play in VLC
media player also. How can I ensure if the generated file is correct.
I request members to please help,
Thanks very much for your support
Regards
Sharan
