Adding Opus Codec to PJSIP | How to add new codec to pjsip
How to add custom media codec to pjsip
Hi, In this post, I will show you how to add a custom codec to pjsip 2.3
Introduction:
http://www.pjsip.org/
PJSIP is a very strong and widely used in voip. you can combine pjsip with kamailio,opensips, stund, turn server, free switch to build chat application like Skype with many well feature like message, call, conversation.v.v.
http://www.opus-codec.org/
Opus is a lightweight media codec with very good quality but also cost minimum bandwidth (you can customize it bitrate yourself)
To port opus codec you should choose a codec and follow it config (gsm for example)
A little bit you need to know about pjsip build system (make file)
PJSIP uses a set of make files to build, if you familiar with gnumake, it’s very easy to
understand PJSIP. But if you are not, here are some tips to help you easily maintain PJSIP and solve
the bugs when you are buiding project.
Notice the “build” dir, it’s contain make file you need to configure.
files *.in is input files, run configure and it will generate *.mak files based on *.in files
Porting opus with pjsip interface
1) Add opus source code:
you must write api for opus to work with pjmedia, ex: (view resource file for more)
PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pjmedia_codec_opus_init(pjmedia_endpt *endpt);
PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pjmedia_codec_opus_deinit(void);
+ after write opus.h and opus.c file for pjmedia. put it in:
header file: pjmedia/include/pjmedia-codec
source file: pjmedia/src/pjmedia-codec
+ add opus source to third_party.
+ int third_party/build create new opus dir, write Makefile and config for all c file in opus
2) Config pjsip build system, find appropriate place to port this code, often after g7221 config, i may miss few files but you just follow the g7221 codec configuration.

3) run config and build pjsip
autoconf acconfigure.ac > acconfigure
configure –with-ssl –enable-opus-codec

Hello Venkatesh,
Very helpful Tutorial!
Thank you a lot!
Hi,
I'm looking for help in compiling PJ with g792 codec for iOS.
Is there a why I Can contact you for help?
I'm struggling with it for few days…
Thanks.
