On my old Purple system, I paid for some g729 licenses. This was many years ago. I also bought one for CsipSimple. I still have more licenses than people ;-)
I'm now setting up a new 16-15 server and would like to have the option to run g729. I was under the impression that the patents for g729 had expired and it was freely useable. If it's not, I would be OK to move licenses from my old server or buy new ones if that's not doable.
Currently, when I try to use g729, I see errors like: "channel.c:5589 set_format: Unable to find a codec translation path: (gsm|g722|ulaw) -> (g729)"
core show codecs shows g729
in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules, I see codec_g729a.manifest.xml and codec_g729a.so
core show translation does not list g729
g729 show licenses
0/0 encoders/decoders of 0 licensed channels are currently in use
Side note https://superuser.com/questions/635...-should-i-choose-to-high-quality-calls#635815 says that Opus outperforms on narrowband and wideband connections and I can use that. I'd still like to have the option of g729.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark
