Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply... I just tried what you suggested on only got audio. I created a wav file and put it in the /tmp directory just like the video.h264 file. So /tmp has video.h264 and video.wav both. I then placed the call and only heard the audio from the wav file. I used this for my call file: Channel: SIP/2002 Context: testing Extension: 999999 Priority: 1 Application: Playback Codecs: h263,h264,vp8,g722,ulaw,alaw,wav Data: /tmp/video My Bria 4 softphone uses the h263 and h264 codecs and of course wav file audio. Based on your look of the code did I miss something to trigger the playing of the video file? I can extract the audio out to a seperate file - so not a show stopper for me. No errors showed up on the Asterisk CLI when I did my test. Thanks so much, Jerry
