[Freeswitch-dev] Does playing a video file in a conference depend on some other service on the server?

[Chad Phillips]

Mux mode and mod_av were loaded, but I did not have non-free enabled
at /etc/apt/sources.list

To fix this, I:
 - Added ‘non-free’ and ‘contrib’ to all repo lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list (not sure if contrib is needed, but what the hell…)
 - aptitude update
 - Completely removed my FreeSWITCH install
 - aptitude purge freeswitch-video-deps-most && aptitude install
freeswitch-video-deps-most
 - Rebuilt FreeSWITCH

I should add that this server was previously running FreeSWITCH 1.6, which
is why I took the extra step of re-installing all the video deps.

Thanks for the pointer Brian!
