Hi Marc, The green frames in the beginning of a video call is likely caused by missing keyframe. Keyframe requests are sent regularly every PJSUA_VID_REQ_KEYFRAME_INTERVAL, and application can also explicitly send keyframe using the API pjsua_call_set_vid_strm() with op PJSUA_CALL_VID_STRM_SEND_KEYFRAME. We also have a pending ticket for this #1910 (https://trac.pjsip.org/repos/ticket/1910) which aims to do this automatically within the library. To change the color to black, instead of green, you can modify pjmedia/src/pjmedia/vid_port.c, in function pjmedia_vid_port_create(), where the initial buffer of the video frame is allocated. Below is an example of how to set the frame to black in I420 format. For other YUV formats, which have different ways to represent black, you may need to modify the code accordingly. if (need_frame_buf) { ..... vp->frm_buf->type = PJMEDIA_FRAME_TYPE_NONE; /* Insert the below code after you find the above line ---- */ /* Note: this will only work for I420 format */ if (vparam.fmt.id == PJMEDIA_FORMAT_I420) { pj_memset(vp->frm_buf->buf, 0x80, vp->frm_buf_size); pj_bzero(vp->frm_buf->buf, vparam.fmt.det.vid.size.w*vparam.fmt.det.vid.size.h); } /* ---- */ Unfortunately, currently there's no notification for the first decoded frame/keyframe received.
