In order to facilitate problem solving it helps to have a consistent way of communicating test results.

Please first review our Debug HOWTO and make sure you have the -dbg packages installed.

Below we describe the most common scenarios and how they are best tested (with full logging).

In the test we have two participants. We call them A (The caller, who initiate the communication) and B (The callee, who is on the receiving end of the action).

Initial setup before testing starts

On both client A and client B, run the command:

GST_DEBUG=3 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all NICE_DEBUG=all,libnice-nice-verbose pidgin --debug |& tee ~/pidgin.log

Test video

  1. Activate logging in a separate terminal on each client.

On client A:

tail -f ~/pidgin.log |& tee ~/test-video-A.log

On client B:

tail -f ~/pidgin.log |& tee ~/test-video-B.log

  1. Test. Let client A call client B.

  2. Conclude. Stop logging with <ctrl>-c in the respective terminal windows where the tail-commands are running.

  3. Now you have two nice log files, test-video-A.log and test-video-B.log you can send to us.
