[Freeswitch-users] Need help with Video proxy-media mode

Wed Feb 4 00:21:25 MSK 2015

If using "proxy mode" is the same as using "pass through" codecs, is it
also true that FS doesn't touch the SDP of those pass through codecs?

The issue I have is FS is stripping extra H264 streams.  Here's a snippet
of such SDP from Polycom RealPresence iPhone app:

   m=video 51918 RTP/AVP 111 109 110 106 105 116
   a=sendrecv
   a=rtcp-fb:* nack pli
   a=rtcp-fb:* ccm fir
   a=rtcp-fb:* ccm tmmbr
   a=rtpmap:111 H264/90000
   a=fmtp:111 profile-level-id=64001f; packetization-mode=1; max-br=20010;
sar=13
   a=rtpmap:109 H264/90000
   a=fmtp:109 profile-level-id=428015; max-mbps=36000; max-fs=1280;
max-br=20010; sar=13
   a=rtpmap:110 H264/90000
   a=fmtp:110 profile-level-id=428015; packetization-mode=1;
max-mbps=36000; max-fs=1280; max-br=20010; sar=13
   a=rtpmap:106 H264-SVC/90000
   a=fmtp:106 profile-level-id=560015; packetization-mode=1;
max-mbps=36000; max-fs=1280; max-br=20010; sar=13
   a=rtpmap:105 H264-SVC/90000
   a=fmtp:105 profile-level-id=53e015; packetization-mode=1;
max-mbps=36000; max-fs=1280; max-br=20010; sar=13
   a=rtpmap:116 vnd.polycom.lpr/9000
   a=fmtp:116 V=2;minPP=0;PP=150;RS=52;RP=10;PS=1400
   m=application 51102 UDP/BFCP *
   a=sendrecv
   a=setup:actpass
   a=connection:new
   a=floorctrl:c-s
   m=application 51006 RTP/AVP 100
   a=sendrecv
   a=rtpmap:100 H224/4800

And FS (default mode) turned this into...

   m=video 54524 RTP/AVP 111
   a=rtpmap:111 H264/90000
   a=fmtp:111 profile-level-id=64001f; packetization-mode=1; max-br=20010;
sar=13

I would like my external MCU to handle this codec negotiation.  Is there
anything in FS that I can configure to achieve this?

(I'd also like to see what can be done for BFCP as well!)

Thanks again!
