[Freeswitch-users] codec error

[Steven Ayre]

Some more information please...

G729 has patents that mean it can't be used unlicensed. FreeSWITCH
either has mod_com_g729 for a full featured licensed version, or
mod_g729 which operates in passthrough mode for G729-G729 calls (it
needs no license since for these calls there is no encoding/decoding
step, the already encoded data is just passed straight through). You
will never have had mod_g729 working in the past for a transcoding
call, so that won't have changed.

I would say that it's either:
- Your config files have changed
- The endpoints are offering different codecs from before
- Something changed in git about the codec negotiation

Can you pastebin a debug level log of the calls, and enable siptrace?
Those will show what codecs are being offered, selected and show the
codec negotiation. It'd also be useful to know what your sip profile
config files look like since there are several options that adjust how
the negotiation is done.
