RTP Stream with VLC

[Support Hatemis]

Hello,

 

I need little help to do work stream RTP for one customer.

The final objectif is to stream a radio in Music On Hold.

 

Before I would like running it in lab.

I followed wiki and tried all that I found on this forum.

But it does not work. L

 

Config :

-1 Windows with Snomone 5.1.3 (Free). On this computer, VLC & softphone Zoiper installed.

-1 other Windows computer with also Zoiper

-For begin, I try at first stream a music file. (I would see then for radio)

 

1\ I converted my MP3 files to WAV 8000Hz / 16 Bits / Mono..

(If I upload it on Snomone as MOH file, make call between softphones and put on hold, I hear this music….Format is ok)

 

2\ I add RTP stream « VLC » on port 42000 in SnomOne and switch on in General Settings.

 

3\ I run VLC to stream my file to 192.168.1.11 (itself because VLC and SnomOne hosted on same system...), port 42000. No transcode.

 

:sout=#rtp{dst=192.168.1.11,port=42000,sap,name=VLC} :sout-keep

 

 

=> I make call between softphones, put on hold, I get nothing.. no music

 

I tried

-stream since second computer (issue with vlc and snomone on same system ?) => not work

-stream MP3 and transcode to accepted format => not work

-differents things see on forums :

 

:sout=#rtp{dst=192.168.1.11,port=42000} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap ttl=1: :sout-keep

 

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=s16l,ab=128,channels=1,samplerate=8000}:rtp{dst=192.168.1.11,port=42000 } :sout-keep

 

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=alaw,ab=128,channels=1,samplerate=8000}:rtp{dst=192.168.1.11,port=42000 } :sout-keep

 

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=ulaw,ab=128,channels=1,samplerate=8000}:rtp{dst=192.168.1.11,port=42000 } :sout-keep

 

 

I don’t understand why that don’t work in Music On Hold.

VLC stream seems OK. Format for SnomOne also..

 

How to I can troubleshooted that ?

 

Greats thanks to those who can help me

If VLC and the PBX are running on the same host, I would try 127.0.0.1 as destination.

 

If that does not work either, I would send the RTP stream to another computer for testing purposes and get a PCAP (Wireshark) trace (that computer does not have to run the PBX). Then we can take a look if this looks like RTP that the PBX can understand. Once that is okay, you can change the destination back to the PBX.

Thank for this fast answer.

 

With Stream to 127.0.0.1 that dont’ work.

 

:sout=#rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port=42000,sap,name=vlc} :sout-keep

 

Stream sent by another computer, that don’t work also

 

 

:sout=#rtp{dst=192.168.1.11,port=42000,sap,name=VLC} :sout-keep

 

 

I run WireShark on this another computer. But I don’t know in network analyse and I don’t see what I can deduct from it.

 

I made one capture with MOH standard active and another with RTP via VLC. (call and put once on hold on each)

I don’t see differences...

 

 

Edit: in attach. capture in csv format (Too big for format pcap)

 

Edit2: Perhaps with that :

As far as I can see the packets look roughly okay and they seem to arrive every 20 ms. However the packet length looks strange. Maybe this is stereo? If you have a PCAP it is okay to keep it very short and send it to me by private message.

Hello.

 

Best Wishes for new year.

And always thank to follow my issue.

 

For audio format of file that I use for test, it's mono.

 

This file works if I upload it in PBX

 

 

I send to you in mp a PCAP.

 

To make this one, I use 3 computers.

1\ PBX + Softphone (account : 105) 192.168.1.11

2\ Sofphone (account : 106) 192.168.1.3

3\ VLC + Wireshark 192.168.1.10

 

=> Call 106 to 105 then put On Hold 7-8 seconds.

 

if I compare with one PCAP where I don't call, I don't see differences... strange, no!?

Thanks for the info, We will test this item in our lab and see if it's reproducible.

 

Best regards

Ok. Thanks.

I wait your feedback.

 

because I tried at office. With PBX (licensed) on Ubuntu Server + 1 computer for stream by VLC and 2 phones Snom. it doesn't work also.
