Description:Trying to get the Playback-application to play videofiles. The call gets connected, but Asterisk seems to be unable to open the videofile. I get this warning in CLI: "WARNING[3566]: file.c:623 ast_openvstream: File reklam has video but couldn't be opened"

****** STEPS TO REPRODUCE ******

I've put two files in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/ reklam.h263 and reklam.ulaw. extensions.conf have one line looking like this:
exten => reklam,1,Playback(reklam)
sip.conf is configured to send incoming calls to reklam.



****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I made a change to the function ast_filehelper in main/file.c and Asterisk started to play my videofile. Maybe that can help solving this issue. I changed line 382 from: !(f->format & AST_FORMAT_AUDIO_MASK && fmt)) {
to: !(f->format & AST_FORMAT_VIDEO_MASK && fmt)) {

I've uploaded a patch which does something similar to what you stated in the description. In this patch, we continue attempting to open the file if its format matches either AST_FORMAT_AUDIO_MASK or AST_FORMAT_VIDEO_MASK.

Please test this to be sure that it operates properly.

I've tried the patch and it seems to be working. Will it be added to trunk anytime soon?

Thank you!

If it's working, I'll put it in right now. :)

Thanks for testing it out.
