Re: [Siproxd-users] Debug mode changing siproxd behaviour ??

[Thomas R. <tr...@gm...>]

Hello Étienne,

First you should really consider upgrading siproxd to the current
version (which meanwhile is 0.8.0 !). Quite a number of changes (and
fixes) have been made that include improvements in RTP processing.

Second, siproxd allows logging (incl. debug information) via TCP
connection - even if runnign in background;
check the 'debug_port' config option.
This should allow you to catch a log the situation.

Good luck and best regards,
