Re: [Linphone-users] No video codec available

[Felix Lechner]

Daniel,

I do not use OpenSUSE, but I have built Linphone for Ubuntu. For the built-in codecs, 'configure.ac' scripts look for the development libraries with statements such as:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS(linux/videodev.h linux/videodev2.h)

This is one check that would disable video entirely. Build options on the command line can also affect the configuration.

Most of the video checks are in mediastreamer2 which, like ortp, has its own 'configure.ac'. The video configuration is actually in:

linphone-3.5.2/mediastreamer2/acinclude.m4

where you can find checks such as

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FFMPEG, [libavcodec >= 51.0.0 ],ffmpeg_found=yes , ffmpeg_found=no)

For video, you are probably looking at VP8/libvpx.

For H.264 you would need an external plugin. It is also available from the Linphone website.

Good luck. Let us know how it went.

Felix

Does anyone have advice how to get Linphone with video under OpenSUSE
going? In the settings under 'Codecs' several audio but no video codecs
are offered. My question below has received no answer. I have installed
the 'devel' packages as well as the normal ones, for example
'libtheora0' as well as 'libtheora-devel' (as well as
'libtheora0-32bit') installed. Is that correct?
