Failed to start input device

[MrSorcus]

Sometimes crashed audio call...

Toxic (Linux) <- audio call -> uTox (Ubuntu) - work Toxic (Linux) <- audio call -> qTox (Windows 7) - work Toxic (Linux) <- audio call -> uTox 0.12.2 (Windows 10) - don't work Toxic (Linux) <- audio call -> qTox (Window 10) - work Toxic (Linux) <- audio call -> qTox (Windows 8) - don't work

Log:

Call started! Type: "/hangup" to end it.
Failed to start input device
Failed to register input handler!

qTox. Windows 8.

Qt: 5.5.1
v1.8.1
toxcore: 0.1.5
Win 8.1 Pro x64

Toxic on Archlinux

Toxic version 0.7.2_r1747
Toxcore version 0.1.5
Qt 5.8.0-5

[JFreegman]

What happens when the clients that don't work try to initiate the call?

[MrSorcus]

@JFreegman I don't have any output in logs (Toxic). Only this error.

Failed to start input device
Failed to register input handler!

But i can't reproduce it with other person with similar configuration (Windows 8.1 with last updates and last qtox/utox portable)...

[JFreegman]

Pretty mysterious. Maybe @mannol can help since he's the A/V guy?

[mannol]

@JFreegman no idea what's wrong here.

[GrayHatter]

if it's a single client, my best guess is a bit rate issue.

debug info from uTox would be really helpful in tracking this down

That said, it's odd that the issue is a input device issue...

[JFreegman]

it's odd that the issue is a input device issue...

Exactly. Why would your own input device fail because of the other person's client. I'll have to look a bit deeper into this when I have the time.

[GrayHatter]

My first thought, does toxic accept toxav bitrate suggestion?

@mannol Does toxav change it's default bitrate on a packet from the peer?

[mannol]

@GrayHatter toxic doesn't do auto bitrate.

[MrSorcus]

Toxic -- Call --> uTox Result: I don't listen him (uTox client). But he listen me. https://gist.github.com/MrSorcus/6013ee154a656fe8521df857445fd3e5 Version uTox: Alpha 0.9.7

[MrSorcus]

Any ideas? How can i improve gdb output?

[MrSorcus]

Today i'm testing audio call from qtox. And...It's work. But not in toxic. In toxic audio call always failed...

[GrayHatter]

qTox and Antox are problematic when testing. The only clients that are reliable when it comes to AV are, uTox and toxic.

Echo bot also works very well.

[MrSorcus]

It still not working sometimes. Failed randomly. With any version, any clients, any OS.
