Optional parameter mtype can be provided to apply the operations only to the streams matching m=mtype.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.2. sdp_remove_codecs_by_name usage

...
# remove PCMU
sdp_remove_codecs_by_name("PCMU");

Keep only the codecs provided in the parameter 'list' from all media streams found in SDP payload. The parameter 'list' must be one or a comma separated list of codec names. The parameter can be a static string or a variable holding the list of codec names.

Note that you have to explicitly keep 'telephone-event' in the list of names if you want to keep DTMF attributes.

Optional parameter mtype can be provided to apply the operations only to the streams matching m=mtype.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.5. sdp_keep_codecs_by_name usage

4.6.  sdp_with_media(type)

Return true if the SDP has 'media=type ...' line. Useful to check the content of the RTP sessions, such as 'audio' or 'video'. The parameter can be static string or variable holding the media type.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.6. sdp_with_media usage

...
# check for video stream

{
    # the session has a video stream
}
...

4.7.  sdp_with_active_media(type)

Return true if the SDP has 'media=type ...' line and the media is active. Useful to check the content of the RTP sessions, such as 'audio' or 'video'. Active media means the port is non-zero and the direction is not "inactive" The parameter can be static string or variable holding the media type.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.7. sdp_with_active_media usage

...
# check for active video stream

}
...

4.8.  sdp_remove_media(type)

Remove the streams that match on 'm=type ...' line. The parameter can be static string or variable holding the media type.

Note: If this is executed on a request, the callee should reply without the Media too. However, RFC 3264 mandates, that the reply should contain the exact same number of "m=" lines as the request.

 

6 Generating the Answer

[...]

For each "m=" line in the offer, there MUST be a corresponding "m=" line in the answer. The answer MUST contain exactly the same number of "m=" lines as the offer. This allows for streams to be matched up based on their order. This implies that if the offer contained zero "m=" lines, the answer MUST contain zero "m=" lines.

 
  --RFC 3264

So this may not work with all Endpoints, especially if they follow RFC 3264 precisely (e.g. JSSIP).

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.8. sdp_remove_media usage

...
# remove video stream

The parameter can be static string or variable holding the transport type. The function does an exact match of the strings.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.9. sdp_with_transport usage

...
# check for RTP/SAVP stream
if(sdp_with_transport("UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVPF"))
{
    # the session has a UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVPF stream
}
...

4.10.  sdp_with_transport_like(type)

Returns true if the SDP has 'media=media port type ...' line, where type contains the string in the parameter. The parameter can be static string or variable holding a string.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.10. sdp_with_transport_like usage

...
# check for SAVPF stream

}
...

4.11.  sdp_transport(pv)

...
sdp_transport("$avp(caller_rtp_transport)");
