h.263a is not supported (it may be a video codec and you can enable pass through support) above is how to list what channel drivers you have loaded.

This is from a virgin
Mon, 05/31/2010 - 2:30pm
This is from a virgin install of trixbox 2.8.0.3, adding even more entries from the log:

Is anybody looking at their log files ?
I don't think the video
Mon, 05/31/2010 - 6:31pm
Did I say virgin ?
Mon, 05/31/2010 - 8:56pm
Did I say this happens on a virgin install ? Like I never even logged into the box via the web gui...
Can someone with trixbox 2.8.0.3 do "sip reload" and verify if this error shows in their /var/log/asterisk/full ?
Just do
grep h263a /var/log/asterisk/full
from shell after "sip reload" from the asterisk console.
I agree this is a Trixbox
Tue, 06/01/2010 - 12:29am
I agree this is a Trixbox 2.8 issue
To remove the format_au.so error edit /etc/modules.conf and place a ; before the
load => format_au.so
line
Like this
;load => format_au.so
to fix the mIsdn error
issue the following commands
ln -s /usr/lib/libisdnnet.so /usr/lib/libisdnnet.so.0
ln -s /usr/lib/libmISDN.so /usr/lib/libmISDN.so.0
ln -s /usr/lib/libsuppserv.so /usr/lib/libsuppserv.so.0
Any more errors you manage to fix let me know
Regards

Just installed 2.6.2.3
Tue, 06/01/2010 - 9:29pm
Just for the heck of it installed 2.6.2.3. Getting fewer errors, but format_au and h263a errors are there:
res_musiconhold.c: Cannot open dir /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/none/ or dir does not exist
loader.c: Error loading module 'format_au.so': /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/format_au.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
loader.c: Module 'format_au.so' could not be loaded.
cdr_csv.c: unable to load config: cdr.conf
frame.c: Cannot allow unknown format 'h263a'
Looks like we are dealing with some legacy ****, it might be hard to find someone who knows what is going on ;-(
cdr.conf is only relevant
Tue, 06/01/2010 - 10:29pm
cdr.conf is only relevant for CSV CDR's. This error means nothing.

format_au is a converter for some Sun format, it doesn't matter either. If the error keeps you up at night put a ; in front of the module in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf.
Grep for h.263 in /etc/asterisk and see what you find.

Using 2.8.0.4 Beta2
Wed, 06/02/2010 - 11:36am
I do not have those errors. I am running it in XEN 3.3.2 with a x100p for testing. The only problem I have is the x100p needs to be restarted after a few calls but does not hang the server. It is stable now for over 2 weeks and have extension to extension calling with no problems yet. There are about 8 phones talking at the moment mostly from external to internal. Later will add a 4 port card to try.
p.s.
My bad yes there is the error. But putting a ; in the config file be overwritten since it is auto generated?
The format_au.so problem is
Thu, 06/03/2010 - 4:02pm
The format_au.so problem is fixed in the latest 2.8.0.4 beta.
If you are referring to BETA2 as the latest, then the problem is not solved. I posted a comment about it on the dev blog.
I'm not sure about h263a errors. I don't have this in any of the config files on my test machines. Did you load a special module into PBXconfig?
No, I did not do anything except installing from the CD. I did not even use the web GUI or CLI.
The problem is in line 698
Thu, 06/03/2010 - 5:30pm
The problem is in line 698 of functions.inc.php in admin/modules/core:
$core_conf->addSipGeneral('allow','h263a'); //add video support for trixbox
This file is installed from tbm-pbxconfig-5.5.1-4.i386.rpm during trixbox install.
This also means that there is no way to edit sip_general_additional.config via web gui.
Its content is always overridden with values hardcoded in functions.inc.php
If *_addtional.conf files can not be edited, they should not be offered for editing via the gui web editor.
Thanks obeliks,
I'll get
