RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Scott Haines 2010-09-30 21:06:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

Video not rendering when attempting to connect via Ekiga to one of Red Hat's internal LifeSize video conferencing units.  I believe this is due to a lack of H.264 codec support in the Ekiga linux client (exists and works fine with the Windows version of Ekiga). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 

Running Ekiga v3.2.7 on RHEL6 CSB.

How reproducible:  

When attempting to connecting to any one of the LifeSize units in the larger offices provides audio, but no video.  

Additional info:

For clarity, the LifeSize units are running version 4.6.0(48) of their software/firmware.

Possible to leverage a free h264/avc encoder ?

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-14 22:09:02 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

So, what's the current status here?
Comment 4 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2013-06-13 16:10:44 UTC 
My guess is that this is on hold due to what can be found in [1] thread.
