Ekiga Trunk in bad state: help confirming this

[Damien Sandras]

Hi,

I have run Ekiga trunk today. I had not done so for a long time due to
bugfixing in the stable branch.

I noticed the following bugs :
- latency to the echo test is high, it reaches 160ms when the girl stops
talking
- CPU usage is high : 30% without video (audio only)
- Presence is broken

Can you confirm you also see those problems ?
Can you confirm 3.2.x is not affected ?

Thanks,

No clue.

No clue.

Yes -- at least partially.

I can confirm one of them.

Using stable branch from 9 sept.

I have almost the same latency, but my inet connection sucks today, thus
i'm not sure it is due to ekiga...

Seems there is an issue here too using stable branch:
on intel atom (1.6 MHz), CPU run at 50%, i.e. 800 Hz and top says for
calling 500: ~65% audio + video and 55% audio only. I have hard time
believing audio (PCM) use using CPU approx. 5 times more than video (H261)

On stable branch I do not think so...

The same for me, I wait the new stable release to build the unstable
again...

Between 90 and 180 on stable and with wi-fi connection, as shown by
Jitter bufferon the status bar.

On stable, I have about 15% with video.

It works on stable.

Hoping we can fix it soon after the next stable release, there is also

There was also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585287, I do
not know if it is still actual or not.  I will check it in a few days.

This one seems to work here. I'm registered to two accounts.

However, one problem is that Ekiga now waits a few seconds before
starting. Is that STUN detection?

Well, trunk is in a good shape :P

I confirm, the UI is hidden until STUN detection is done.

Julien, can it be related to any of your changes ? (Kickstart or
other ?)

I noticed also on STABLE this problem.  *Sometimes*, it takes 15-20 secs
for the GUI to appear.  The -d 4 blocks right after DNS SRV Lookup for a
few seconds, and this appears a few times upon starting => 15-20 secs
for the GUI to appear.

I thought that it is a temporary dns problem, or maybe because I use
wi-fi and the packet is lost.  Do you need a -d 4 (I wil lookfor it in
my logs) for that or not?


Finally, at work I have a static NAT.  Sometimes, STUN (hence ekiga)
tells me symmetric nat, I think it appears only when I have executed
ekiga before.  Is this also normal from time to time?  At home, with a
port restricted nat, I have not noticed this problem (I think).

I won't fix stable. It is just an annoyance. Moreover, it is not the
same one because I don't have the problem with stable at all.

Not sure what static nat is.

Well, I have a private address, and on the nat machine I have a public
address *only* for me.  But maybe the administrator has done a special
configuration for me, so let's forget about that.

Tested right now: here, on stable, the UI is hidden until stun replies.

Something we'll fix for TRUNK (and perhaps STABLE later).
