Dear List Members,
I am trying to play videos in Asterisk. I understand that
Playback() and Background() functions can play videos in .h263 and .3gp
format. In my extensions.conf, I put a call like:
exten=> 600,n,Playback(testvideo) ;testvideo.h263 is a
file which which plays in VLC media player
I get an error saying "Unable to open testvideo format 0x4 (ulaw)".
I have made changes to my sip.conf,
videosupport = yes
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=h261
allow=h263
allow=h263p
allow=h264
I tried recording a video using Asterisk Record() function, and then tried
playing it using Playback(), but was unable to succeed.
Though my files get played in VLC media player, I am not sure whether they
are the right set for Asterisk.
I would request members on the list to kindly guide me to the correct
steps/examples/videos which play in Asterisk, so as to enable me to play
videos in Asterisk.
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards
Sharan

You must have two files, one file .h263 with the video and other file
.gsm or .alaw with the audio.
Normally your converted files donīt work in Asterisk, you must
recodificate them.
ox in.wav -r 8000 -c 1 -s -w out.wav resample -ql ; To convert the audio
ffasterisk -i in.3gp -o out.h263 --video ; To convert the video
Put the two files with the same name (in.h263 and in.wav). And this should work.
