Subject: regressions in empathy, audio/video not working

Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 01:40:46 +0100

Package: empathy
Version: 3.4.2.3-2
Severity: important


Audio and video calls between empathy users were working reliably until
a few weeks ago

Testing again now, with two hosts running the latest wheezy code
(updated with apt-get dist-upgrade), calls are failing


I've enabled logging:

$ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 EMPATHY_DEBUG=all empathy

and the output around the time of failure looks like this:

(empathy:8499): tp-glib/misc-DEBUG: call_state_changed_cb: Call state
changed to initialising (flags: 0)
(empathy:8499): tp-glib/misc-DEBUG: content_removed_cb: Content removed:
/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Connection/gabble/jabber/daniel_40pocock_2ecom_2eau_2fc36b5105/CallChannel2/Content_audio_1
(empathy:8499): tp-glib/misc-DEBUG: call_state_changed_cb: Call state
changed to ended (flags: 0)


The calling window appears, the webcam lights come on, there is a delay
for a couple of seconds and then the window goes into the hangup state.

From another machine, the user observes similar log entries, but they
get the popup: "There was an error starting the call" and no other details

None of the messages in the log are more severe than the `DEBUG' level.

The server is ejabberd on Debian squeeze.

Subject: empathy broken during Debian freeze

Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 10:23:56 +0100

Hi,

I've been using empathy in Debian testing/wheezy, which is currently
frozen pending a stable release

empathy 3.4.2.3-2
gabble 0.16.5-1

In December, I was definitely able to use audio/video calls over Jabber
(I have an ejabberd server)

Now, it is not working.  I've posted a bug report here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704232
with logs.

Looking through the mailing list history, I came across this post:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2010-October/004998.html

It suggests that empathy gets TURN servers from Google.  I can't find
anywhere to configure my TURN server manually.  It would be a big
surprise for many Debian users to find that all their media streams are
silently routed via a Google TURN server.  It also seems that if
Google's API changes, the audio/video capability in Empathy would
suddenly stop working, and that may explain why it is not working for me
any more.  So I posted another bug report about the dependency on Google:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704234

Can anybody comment on this?  Is there some way I can configure and test
it against an open source TURN server, such as the reTurn package from
Debian?  Can it discover TURN servers dynamically by DNS SRV lookup?

Regards,

Daniel
