H265 vs H264 not optimizing bandwidth + other feedback

[Alan Azar]

Hello,

First-time poster - thank you for all your hard work. I have a few questions \ feedback I'd like to give.

H265 vs H264

I have noticed testing between 2 devices on an internal home network that H265 provides better 720p quality as expected, however the bandwidth is the same as 720p on H264.

I remember about a year ago while testing this, I used to get better 720p at about a quarter of H264.... that's not happening anymore. Can anyone validate this?

FPS is stable at ~25fps in both cases

ORDER OF CODECS

Can we have an option to re-order the codecs to use.

I have 2 devices that can do H265+H264 and another that only does H264.

I have to manually unselect the H264 to make a high quality call, but then turn it back when i call the device that only supports H264.

Is there a way to re-order the codecs so it tries the H265 first and then H264 if H265 undetected?

AV1 CODEC

After reading an article by Gary Sims (Aug 2 2020), I believe the limitation here is the time to encode \ decode may not be feasible for this application & current devices.

However, is there any news on a high quality royalty free codec that may be available for Linphone?

LOAD CONFIG FILE

Option to save and load a config file with all settings

USER FORUM

I really wish you would move away from a mailing list to a forum. It will make it easier to manage feedback + retain knowledge for users searching for topics that may have already been covered.

Other than that, I wish you all a Merry Christmas \ Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year!

Thank you for everything!

Alan

That is a bit controversial. Forums (fora?) are a pain. You have to
remember to visit them and they are not easy to search with standard
tools like grep. I am not sure if this mailing list is archived, but
if so, even a newcomer can find past topics easily. A forum is
also expensive in resources and forces one to use a browser or
wahtever. Use simple tried and tested tools when they are more than
adequate.

Hello Alan.

Thanks for your suggestions.

You can set the FPS of the call in settings > video > video profile (you can select "custom")

You can change video definition in settings > video > definition

.

Currently, you can only change the priority order of codecs in Linphone-Desktop (not in mobile versions), and AV1 isn't supported by Linphone yet.

I'll keep in mind your suggestions, and maybe we could add it in future releases.

Regards,
