6.0.0-beta-24 no "early media" Option

[fseebach]

I tried 6.0.0-beta-24 because of 2151.
The issue from 2151 is fixed. Great.

But im facing a new Problem in beta-24.
In Linphone-Android 5 i could activate Early Media and it worked great in my Setup.

In beta-24 there is no "early media" option to activate. Should this work out of the Box? Or is early media not implemented in v6? Will it be implemented?

[fseebach]

To clarify (after reading: #2198)

I mean early media send by the caller to my LinphoneAndroid Phone. Maybe it would work in v5 even without activating "early media" option?

However,

early media send by the CALLER to my Linphone Android works in V5 and doesnt in V6

[fseebach]

Checked V5 again.

Early media from caller to LinphoneAndroid only works if "early media" Option is aktivated in Linphone

Hi @fseebach,

Indeed the early-media setting is mandatory for the Android client to answer 183 instead of 180.
It's not done yet in the 6.0 release but yes it will eventually be part of it.

Cheers,

nice to hear that. Will you Update this issue when theres an RC with early media enabled? Would love to test it as soon as possible. Or is there any other way to track progress of V6?

Will you Update this issue when theres an RC with early media enabled?

Yes, I'll close this issue when the feature will be implemented.

@fseebach I've added the setting in branch feature/accept_early_media_setting but I can't test it right now if you want to give it a try.

[fseebach]

@Viish cannot find the branch feature/accept_early_media_setting

Hey @Viish
it doesnt work for me. Tried it again in V5 to be sure. In V5 it works perfectly.

Debug Log: https://pastebin.com/75gxfnXr (expires in 24 hours)

As soon as i answer the Call, video is working as expected.

[fseebach]

Looks even worse. Sometimes if i answer the call Video is not Starting, all buttons are locked and i have to force kill the app.

Tried multiple times with Early Media on and off.
Crash only happens with early media ON
(i dont think it really crashes, just the buttons do nothing, if i minimze the app the call is continued in notification tray)

[fseebach]

I can reproduce the freeze:

It does NOT happen if i answer the call from the notification directly.

If first click the Notification (to see early media), wait there for an extended period of time (i guess more than 5 seconds) and answer the call => all buttons are frozen and i have to kill the app.

if i click the notification and immediatly answer the call on the next screen => NO freeze

Commit ID 3cd3806f3a8ec41fd73537aa3ffc8cd374b3f40c from same branch should fix video not being displayed (as I said I merely added the setting in my previous commit).
If you still have the freeze/crash, please attach the stack trace & new logs.

[fseebach]

great... works as expected now! video shows, no crash!

One little thing left: Theres an overlay over the video (the circle with a letter inside and the caller id below). I guess that should be moved somewhere else if video is enabled.

[fseebach]

sorry... ui still freezes if i wait long enough at the video preview. Will attach logs

[fseebach]

I truncated the log because it gets realy big.. the error is constantly repeated:

2025-01-08 15:30:09:581 [org.linphone/mediastreamer] ERROR [TextureView Display][Filter=0xb400006e592f6d30] eglSwapBuffers failure for windowId 0x5806: 0

[Viish]

Indeed something very wrong is happening (I don't reproduce it all the time).
I'll investigate and let you know (I'll only merge the branch when it will be fixed).

[fseebach]

@Viish
just tried out the newest commits... works like a charm now!

[fseebach]

im sorry... still got the case that after accepting the call no video is shown and i cannot click the hang up button...
but it seems to happen not as often..

[Viish]

Yes I'm aware this issue still happens, that's why I haven't merged it yet.
We're working on it.

[Viish]

Hi @fseebach,

I just fixed the deadlock on the feature/accept_early_media_setting branch.
Turns out it wasn't related to early-media at all, but for some reason issue was more likely to happen in this scenario.

Cheers,

[Viish]

I'll do a few more tests and then merge the branch into master.

@Viish
nice to hear that. When will this be available in the PlayStore Beta channel?

When will this be available in the PlayStore Beta channel?

I'll push a new beta this afternoon, so it should be available in a day or two.
