Re: [Linphone-developers] linphone-desktop package and OpenH264 codec

[Julien Wadel]

Hi Bernhard,

Unfortunately, we don't have the workload to update, maintain  and 
support the msxh264 plugin. It is way too old and it requires more 
dependencies that need to be checked and maintained too (like deeper 
FFMPEG).
As pointed out by Greg (thanks for your answers), downloading Cisco 
binaries from their server is covered by their licence.

But in order to allow the use of the Cisco plugin, the application need 
the msopenH264 plugin. That means that you have to get OpenH264 sources 
to build it even if sources aren't deployed in binaries.
As you wrote, this is not a solution for a build on Debian.

So what we can propose is that we build ourself a msopenH264 plugin and 
put it in our releases URL. Then we change the behavior of the 
application to get this plugin aswell when requesting for the Cisco binary.
For the unsecure download, there are no really strong verifications on 
it yet but we can add some like suggested in 
https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/909

Regards
