Hello list,

I want to connect 2 sites both having asterisk installed (1.4 and
13.16from Ubuntu 14.04). When calling from 13.16 to 1.4 (call to echo test which should show video) I get in logs

[2017-06-13 14:45:26] WARNING[17176][C-000003b0] channel.c: Unable to find a codec translation path: (h263|h264|h263p) -> (ulaw)

On the other end (1.4) I have

There is no video on the phone, only audio. Calling the local echo test is OK as well as calling another local videophone. Connecting the phone to the 1.4 asterisk and dialing echo test gave me also the video as well as calling the remote echo test (the one from 13.16). In all cases I
have ulaw|h263 as codecs which is correct

As you can see from above logs, everything seems to be correct in both directions, audio as well as video. The only problem is the codec translation path between audio and video codecs in channel.c

Does anyone know what does this message mean or what could be the problem?

Thanks for any hint
