Asterisk – Video Recording on current version (18.6.0)

I’ve setup Asterisk to be able to accept inbound video connections and setup an extension to record as follows:
pjsip.conf contains:

[video-trunk]
type = endpoint
transport = transport-tls-nat
force_rport = yes
ice_support = yes
direct_media = no
context = video
disallow = all
allow = h264,ulaw

extensions.conf contains:

exten = 2001,1,Verbose(1, "${CALLERID(num)} dialed in.")
 same = n,Answer()
 same = n,Wait(2)
 same = n,Record("/recording/file.wav",0,30,qf)
 same = n,Hangup()

I’m able to use Linphone to establish a connection to 2001@my-sip.example.com, but when the Record gets triggered the console outputs:

[Sep 29 17:44:37] WARNING[6614][C-00000001]: file.c:1504 ast_writefile: No such format 'h264'

(repeatedly as long as I stay connected).

I’ve looked at file.c and the message comes after it traverses the &formats – adding debugging information to that function, I find that it doesn’t contain any video codecs… just:

wav16
wav
WAV|wav49
g722
au
alaw|al|alw
pcm|ulaw|ul|mu|ulw
gsm

Various things on the internet (more than a few years old now) said that the above should work.

Is there a way to record video on a current version of Asterisk? I’ve found a reference to app_mp4 on the net, but it requires the mpeg4ip library which hasn’t been maintained for 14+ years.

Answer

load = format_h264.so
