+1 too.

BTW - If we store these settings in Admin, is it possible that we would not need to re-start OpenMeetings server to switch to the new values after their saving?

Best regards,
Irina.

The basic rule so far was to put client side/ UI / layout settings in the
config.xml.
The config.xml is parsed by both SWFs (SWF8 and SWF10) on startup one
time.
So it is also rather easy compared to have a database value that then has
to be somehow loaded to the client.

What kind of solution would be better for switching codecs, AEC, EM and
echo suppression: using config.xml or "Configuration" in the
"Administration" menu?


2013/4/23 Joseph Karwat <jkar...@jellnet.com>

IMHO. When something does not work well users generally ask for help
from
their service provider.  In our shop our staff explains AEC issues to
end
users and works with them to resolve the issue.  Having AEC as an
easy
to
enable/disable user option, is very helpful in providing the type of
end
user support that will enable widespread adoption of OM.

I'd be pleased to work with the group to formally test AEC and
resolve
this
issue.

IMHO having yet another checkbox where the user can decide to enable
or
disable AEC can be only an additional thing on top of a general
system
wide
configuration.

The problem with this is for example that the average user does not
even
know what AEC means.
Or what is the difference between hardware echo cancellation and
software
echo cancellation ?!
So what would be the benefit for him in having a checkbox tagged
"enabled
AEC" ?

One of the concerns people have against OpenMeetings is its
complexity.
They just want to conference and not bother around with a lot of
options.
I would also not disable the AEC feature by default as long as there
is
no
concrete use-case where AEC (or enhancedMicro mode) leads to an
issue.
Same for h264. There was a discussion that included h264 a couple of
weeks
ago:
http://markmail.org/message/fctg6eo5qf5hhcaa

The consens was:
  - The amount of CPU that our clients needed more was not measurable.
  - There is no concrete use case where enabling or disabling h264
would
improve anything I agree that having a config for the Video codec,
same
as
the Microphone Mode, would be nice.
But changing any defaults now back and forth without concrete use
cases
and
some kind of test plan does not make a lot of sense to me.

So what I would propose is:
  - Make Microphone and VideoCodec configurable and documentate this
  - Set up a concrete test plan and communicate that through our
mailing
lists.
Based on the feedback we might then discuss changing some defaults.

My previous comment was regarding video codec Auto selecting h264
based on SIP setting is not a good idea IMHO

Maybe it is better to make it configurable somehow? config.xml
is
good candidate IMHO

Hello,

I suppose using h264 would be necessary only in SIP rooms,
for
all
other
rooms - codec which used before (h263?). It avoids any
suspections
about
h264 issues and increses performance. I'm also going to
implement
switching
microphone mode in the audio/video test dialog. Is there
anybody
who disagree with this idea?

That would be great!

@Alexei this definitely can be done in realtime, BUT ...

The setting affects Working microphone so it is
impossible
to
ON/OFF
it
while speaking :(
The only option I can see is to add dropdown control to
testSetupDialog
(the one with choose camera and test recording). So we
can
have
something
like:

1) default system setting (can be moved to
Admin->configuration
to
avoid
rewriting it after each upgrade)
2) per user setting stored in LocalData (like
rememberLogin
default
cam/mic
etc.)

using above scheme user can change the setting while
entering the
room
or
"re-sync" audio/video

What do you think?

substantial
echo. We were both running a PC with Flash echo

but
no

Also for OM2.1 Where do I set the buffer lenghth?  Are

Joseph, which devices show improvement? Which buffer

you
use?
I like the suggestion - Maxim, how is it possible to
configure
AEC
in
realtime?

If you do make it a configurable setting. It should
be
an
option
when
setting up the room or allow the individual user to
enable/disabe
AEC
when in a conference room.

Making it a system-wide configuration option will
delay
testing
and
adoption.

We will be conducting further testing of AEC over the
next
few
days
and will report back with our findings.  Anyone
wishing

in our AEC testing is encouraged to contact me.

There are no answers. My point here is that we can be
100%
sure
that
today AEC does not work as expected, and provides
distinctive
and
high
quality echo in 100% of situations when users use
separate
dynamic
and
microphone systems.

The new thing is AEC mechanism sometimes meddles with
hardware
echo
cancellation support providing temporary sound
outages.
It
also
provides visible de-synchronization between sound and
video
channels.
If someone has a different experience, please, speak
up.
So I have two ideas to speak of. 1. Disable AEC in
openmeetings
releases by default. It takes a simple configuration
change
to
enable
it. 2. Later understand when AEC really works, and
fix
it.
Folks, please again let me know if you disagree and
have
beneficial
AEC experience.
