Here is my follow up to this issue. It seems something happened to the server where it stopped sending Binding responses to Chrome. This is a known issue that I've seen before that Google says was an Asterisk issue. However, the same thing happens to Freeswitch as well, indicating the problem is the network/server, not the software.

I booted up another server from a snapshot, verified two way audio with Asterisk, then reinstalled Freeswitch, uncommented the ws-binding parameter to enable WS on port 5066, then registered user 1000 and 1002 from the tryit.jssip.net demo using the following configuration:

Name: James

SIP URI: sip:1000@54.X.X.X <-- public IP of server

password: 1234

WS URI: ws://54.X.X.X:5066 <--- same public IP

and I substituted 1002 in place of 1000 for another user on another network. I verified audio flows both ways with audio flowing through Freeswitch.

I made no other changes to the configuration. This was a lot easier to get started with than Asterisk WebRTC. I just made it out to be a lot harder than it was by assuming I needed to manually add in my server's IP address in the configuration files. This happens automatically, even on a NAT'd server. Amazing! :)

Now, for the PSTN part, I configured my BANDWIDTH.com provider as an internal context and as an outbound and inbound dialplan. I can connect a call between my cellphone and Chrome, but there's no audio flowing to/from Bandwidth. I suspect the problem has something to do with bridging AVP and SAVPF, since the carriers don't support SRTP.

I've grepped the configuration files, and I don't see how I would configure the system to bridge AVP and SAVPF and do transcoding. Any ideas?

Thank you!!

Installing ibncursesw5 and libncursesw5-dev did resolve the issue. I can now connect to the WebSocket server. Seems the cluechoo module is just something that was added in to separate the help vampires from the people with legitimate issues. :D

I got 405 Method Not Allowed errors, and I resolved them by making sure the IP address in the SIP URI matches the IP address in the WS field.

At this time, I've successfully registered and am getting back 200 OK's and have now moved onto tweaking the settings so I can get audio going both ways. The candidates appear to be only showing the public IP, so I'll have to figure that out. I'll provide more updates, or questions, as I move forward.

Okay, I added in the dependencies and still get those errors. Do I need to file a bug in JIRA for this or am I just missing something?

I'm happy to try a different OS if there's one that's been tried and tested.

Of course, more googling reveals that mod_cluechoo is just a joke? http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_cluechoo

> SL (Steam Locomotive) runs across your terminal when you type "sl" as you meant to type "ls". It's just a joke command, and not usefull at all. Put the binary to /usr/local/bin.

I hope I'm not chasing a problem that has absolutely no impact on my ability to get WebRTC working here. :D

Thanks for any additional help you can provide,

I ran the netstat command, and it doesn't appear to be listening. It doesn't appear to be listening on anything. I do have this error in the console when starting:

I believe I overlooked these earlier. But it's possible I'm missing a dependency. I'm going to install the libncurses packages as described here http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3689 and then rebuild to see if that helps. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.

Did you open all the necessary firewall ports?
Playing around on amazon as your first try complicates thing a bit for you.

You should be able to verify its listening on the port with netstat -an | grep 5066

Here's another update to my adventures in Freeswitch WebRTC. I assume from the getting started documentation that there are users created by default with the password 1234, so I'm trying to create the ws 5066 connection from the TryIt JsSIP demo: http://tryit.jssip.net

Name: James
SIP URI: 1000@Y.Y.Y.Y <--- Local IP of EC2 server
SIP password: 1234
WS URI: ws://X.X.X.X:5066 <--- Public IP of EC2 server

Hope this helps!
