Re: [Linphone-developers] how can i add other codecs to linphone windows version 3.10.2 ?

[Lentes, Bernd]

Hi Sandrine (omg, all the time i spelled your name wrong. Sorry),

that didn't help. I tried all three, udp, tcp and tls. I also created an 
account and choosed tcp, that didn't help either.
What i'd like to do is trying another codec. Like H.263. VP8 is not supported 
from the other side.
How difficult is it to compile another one on windows ? I never did that.
Just a few times on linux when installung software from the sources.
Do you have a HowTo for that ?
