Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] no sound during playback of amr call

[Rahul Rohit <rahul.rohit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

What I understood is that  to check playback feature for every standard payload type of RTP we need codecs specific  to that standard .By default wireshark has codec only for RTP payload type 0 and 8(G.711 A class and U class) and doesn’t have codecs for remaining payload types (including dynamic payload stream 96).

 

Is this true that we can’t check the playback functionality in Wireshark without having a licensed/patented codec for any particular standard of RTP other than G.711 A class and U class ?

 

P.S.:  In  Wireshark we’ve added a preference setting in GUI  to receive RTP packets over UDP depending on the port values. We are not using “decode

as” functionality.

 

Thanks

Rahul Rohit

Hi,

I’m not sure what you are after.

 

To playback an (audio) RTP stream the player must support the codec used. Currently Wireshark does only support playback of G711A/U

(see http://wiki.wireshark.org/RTP_statistics and http://wiki.wireshark.org/VoIP_calls ) you can add codecs to C:\wireshark\plugins\easy_codec or C:\wireshark\codecs

Unfortunately I don’t know the details of doing it. Note that many codecs come with licenses an patents that make it difficult to use them in OpenSource.

 

From “RTP dynamic payload stream(PT_UNDF_96)” I guess that you don’t have the setup information of the RTP stream in your trace and have done decode as RTP. As far as I know currently there is no way to “tell” Wireshark which codec is used for payload type > 96. Perhaps something like that should be added. An UAT table to specify src/dst IP/port and PT = xxx in the RTP dissector perhaps.

Note that in theory Payload type mapping might differ per call. Device A might propose AMR as PT = 96 and device B might use 101.

 

Some payload dissectors allow you to specify which PT they are tied to, check the preferences of the AMR dissector.

Regards

Anders

Hi,

Is there any way by which Wireshark be made to support play back for the RTP dynamic payload stream(PT_UNDF_96)by performing any change in the code or Wireshark.

Hi,

We are playing back an AMR voice call in Wireshark using telephony option but unfortunately no sound is audible. Could somebody please help us as to what might be the probable reason for this.
