Puppy Phone - VOIP using SIP

Message

smokey01 · #91 Post by **smokey01** » Sat 03 Sep 2011, 04:54

As I was doing some testing with caneri today it was obvious lobster is on the right track. We need to make Psip easier to use.

lobster has included a couple of important features such as sound playback and registration of a SIP server.

I have now taken that a bit further to ensure recording is working too. From my experience recording is normally muted and that can cause some issues especially for new comers.

I have now included lobsters ideas into the main GUI and included a recording test. This means you can open your default audio mixer and test your recording and playback.

I am still studying the information that seaside sent me and yet to look at 01micko's contribution.

Thanks

Hi all.

I think I'm having a sound card issue. It's really weird. I'll get it sorted, but one worrying thing is my cpu is nearly maxing out while negotiating with the sip server, seems to be stuck in a loop for awhile. Do we have the source for pjsua_custom_03-0.9.0 ??

The gtkdialog code needs a real cleanup, there are tons of stray processes! Just run top after you close Psip down to see. The problem is that children are starting from within processes and are forked.. these often don't end cleanly and we end up with a zombie. It's something I'm learning to deal with.

I think lobsters little wizard is great! It should run at first start (before the config files exist

).. and then maybe have it accessible from a menu entry. I'll PM you some more stuff Smokey.. soon.

Hi guys

the enclosed file needs to be renamed help.html
and replaces
/usr/local/psip/resources/help.html

- Next to do - listen to voice messages and incorporate smokey suggestions

Welcome to Mick

Lobster the zip file was empty.

You can not upload an html file to the forum (as far as I remember)
so I rename it with the extention .zip
(it is not a zip file)
When you download - rename it help.html

Hope that works for you

Sorry misread your message.

I have added record and playback testing.

Unzip the contents of new-psip-gui.tar.gz to /usr/local/psip

It contains a new psip-gui and a voice help file.

I was delighted to receive a call from smokey01. This was a big surprise, because I thought I'd not be able to receive any incoming calls until I got round to installing a better router (to let me open port 5060); moreover I'm on DHCP (no dedicated URL).

So. it looks as if the IPTel login process is getting around these potential obstacles - top marks to IPTel - and although it does not meet Flash's ideal of box-to-box VoIP with no intermediary, functionally pretty close.

I promised, having mis-edited the config file first time round, to try smokey01's sound fix again:
-the bad news: invalid call attempt still sets up 'motorboating'.
-the good news: motorboating stops when a 'valid' call is requested.
I guess this is just down to pjsua making repeated failed call attempts until told otherwise, nothing to do with PSIP (or IPTel) so I'll go sniff the pjsua manual again.

Thus far I'm getting distortion on incoming speech; no luck increasing the call quality setting (nor using a later Puppy on another box), so maybe it's an ISP (or feeble wireless link?) problem.

Hi Mick,

but one worrying thing is my cpu is nearly maxing out while negotiating with the sip server

I have this problem with FatDog64 as well. The only way to stop the cpu maxing out is to close psip from the drop down box...(Phone > Quit and shutdown pjsua).

I had a "critical overheating" shutdown with Lupu...wow..scary stuff.

From jamesbond:

I've uploaded a 64-bit pjsua here:

website: http://mydrive.ch
userid: dotpet@puppyshare
password: puppylinux

(under fatdog64 folder).

replace this pjsua compile file (use the same name) to test
/usr/local/psip/pjsua_custom_03-0.9.0

Just heard from JamesBond
He got PSIP working in the newly released 64 bit Fatdog
with his 64 bit compiled pjsua - and the CPU usage was low

. . . that is good news

I'm downloading fatdog64 atm.

I wonder what source code he used?

Something to talk about in about two hours.

jamesbond · #104 Post by **jamesbond** » Sun 04 Sep 2011, 10:23

I used 1.10 series from www.psjip.org.
To be exact, this: http://www.pjsip.org/release/1.10/pjpro ... 10.tar.bz2
EDIT: Grant, does your new PSIP gui requires gtkdialog4 (thunor's gtkdialog) or standard gtkdialog3?
EDIT: It's gtkdialog3 - should have peeked into the source before asking

EDIT: ah that's just the GUI - there is a ton other functions hidden somewhere ... where do I get those?
cheers!

jamesbond you are correct it's gtkdialog3.

All of the functions can be found in /usr/local/psip in most puppies from 4.3.1

The active pjsua.cfg file is in /root/.psip

Caneri · #106 Post by **Caneri** » Sun 04 Sep 2011, 11:25

The pjsua file from jamesbond works....the permissions need to be set to
rwx r-x r-x before it worked for me.

The pop up messages still no joy but the sip:music@iptel.org plays nicely and the cpu is good on Fatdog64-beta5. (1% cpu) hooray. Now to get the FD final!!

Now to get the gui setup....thanks All!!

Eric

PS @jamesbond,
This is as far as the gui will proceed with your new pjsua file. It's most likely a gui problem though. I can't see the buddy list or see incoming call alerts...THANKS!!

jamesbond.. any special configure options? (can you post them anyway?)

the gtkdialog version should make no difference.

Cheers

A very successful conference call was achieved on Psip with the following participants:

Lobster
Caneri
Dogle
Smokey01

Same time next week. Sunday 11 Sept @ 1300h GMT daylight savings time.

Lobster · #109 Post by **Lobster** » Sun 04 Sep 2011, 13:19

Thanks smokey01 for arranging

Smokey is now heading the project
(this being a do-acracy and he is currently making the improvements)
I will be working a on Quickstart guide
and the latest news on the wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Psippy

PSIP2 now works on Slacko, Lucid (derivative), 64bit
and maybe in Wary and your fav puplet too?

Conference calling and Iptel as our SIP number provider
is working out well

Eric is smoking and drinking Columbian coffee as his contribution (and testing)
Thanks to Dogle for turning up
Volume was a bit of an issue but we done it . . .

Lobster · #110 Post by **Lobster** » Sun 04 Sep 2011, 13:37

I had envisioned PSIP2 as having a 'wizard button'
- see the enclosed picture . . .

Smokey is going for a 'configure' menu item
that will include the ability to record and playback (thus testing the mic)
that will have a 1. 2. 3. set of procedures

Once we have something, an offline helpfile (I'll do)
will allow people to set up and familiarise themselves
before using PSIP

Also the menu items will be simplified

Just to let you guys know the way things are heading
