[Linphone-users] Problems building msopenh264 version 0.1.1 plugin -- Cisco openh264 branch c13bfe6 does not exist

[J G Miller]

In the latest release of the msopenh264 plugin, version 0.1.1,
the README file states

           1) Install OpenH254

This is a typographical error because it should say

           1) Install OpenH264

It then states

           git clone https://github.com/cisco/openh264.git -b c13bfe6

but this produces the error

           fatal: Remote branch c13bfe6 not found in upstream origin

as obviously the branch c13bfe6 which may have existed at some point
no longer exists.

After downloading and installing the latest release of the Cisco openh264
version 1.4.0, trying to compile msopenh264 0.1.1 plugin results in the error

Clearly plugin msopenh264 version 0.1.1 and Cisco openh264 version 1.4.0
are not compatible.

Therefore the question must be asked, since branch c13bfe6 no longer exists,
which existing version/branch of Cisco openh264 must one use to build 
msopenh264?

Thanking you for your assistance in resolving this problem.
