Codec Priority : Depending from network

[GoogleCodeExporter]

722 is more desirable over Wifi than 3G/GPRS.
Speex 8khz is more desirable over 3G/GPRS than Wifi.

Perhaps instead of values, allow codecs to be slid into order of priority (like 
a Playlist), but when 
clicked allow user to choose from [Disabled, Wifi Only, Wifi & 3G, 3G Only, 
Enabled].

Cheers.

Really nice idea.

I've already though about the sliding idea (the values was just the simplest 
way for
now). But your idea to differentiate from wifi/3g is really very interesting. 
It's a
good idea to differentiate wide band codecs.

There is some step to perform before this user interface implementation (like
dynamically get available codecs from the native stack -- hardcoded for now), 
but
taken into account, will be done as soon as possible.

Thanks you for the suggestion

The slider in the most recent release seems to work well, would like to see 
enable/disable (checkmark) next to each.

I would prefer check boxes too. That way the phone could force a codec 
selection. E.g. we allow gsm, g729 and alaw on our asterisk server for that 
phone extension. Alaw is at the top of the phone selection but gsm gets 
selected each time as codec.

Well you can already disable a codec.

Just try to long clic on a codec row :)

But I conceed a checkbox is a more user-friendly interface than the long clic 
(even if it's widely use in android to get contextual menu on a row).

I did not know about the ability to disable codecs. That works for me. Thanks. 
With that capability (properly documented) there is no need for check boxes 
(IMHO). It's only more user friendly because it's obvious and there is no need 
to explain the feature. Wouldn't check boxes make the slider obsolete?

Would it be possible to customize codec priority in an account by account 
basis? For example, I connect to the IPPBX at work via WiFi and I use alaw, but 
I use g729 to connect to an Asterisk box in the Internet.

Well revision 590 provide this feature.

That's really basic approach but should fit needs of almost anybody :
 * There is two "profiles" : wide band and narrow band. By default wide band is for networks wifi and others and narrow for 3g, gprs and edge. (Association profile/network type is configurable in expert mode).

I don't think that a more complicated approach is needed. I always try to make 
things as simple as possible for users. Here I introduce a complexity but I 
hope that users will understand this new approach since not complicated.

@mau... : If you activate a codec not supported by your remote party it will 
just be ignored ;). So in your case, (if you have rights to use g729 of course) 
just put g729 in the top of the list so that it will be ignored by your ip PBX.

Also new change is that now, pjsip is configured to prefer its own codec 
priorities even for incoming calls. (Previously if was an incoming call the 
priority taken into account was the one of the remote party).

now I understand the difference between narrowband and wideband codecs in 
csipsimple, thanks
perhaps you should add this description in the wiki, it's very useful. 
anyway I'm not able to find the option to associate an account to the network 
type, please can you give me a hint? thanks

As for account per network type it should be done through a plugin. That would 
be the clean and extensible way to do things. 
Having that inside csipsimple will :
 * be not extensible to the infinity of variation this kind of feature mean
 * complexify the application for those who does not need the feature.

Oh, and this plugin is planned for very soon. Since I now need it for my daily 
use, I'll do something ;). 
Thanks Alcatel-Lucent for that ;)
