[libnice] How to debug ice connection fail

[Philip Withnall]

Hi,

The only way to debug this is to get a debug log from libnice, by
setting the environment variables:
        G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
        NICE_DEBUG=all
and redirecting stdout from your program to a log file. There will be a
lot of output. You will then need to step through the logs and try to
work out why each candidate is failing. It can sometimes also be helpful
to capture the network traffic using Wireshark and read it side-by-side
with the logs.
