aMSN on maemo - Nokia N810, N800 and N770HE

[gadgety]

Hello kakatoro,

I quote from the conversation on maemo.org:

"I have tried testing the audio and video SIP/RTP call again and it kept crashing. Someone else had reported this in the aMSN forums, but I couldn't reproduce it until now. It seems the version of farsight on the device is newer than what I had on my laptop, that's why I could only reproduce the bug on the device.. I debugged it on the N900 and found and fix the aMSN bug (now in SVN).

Once it was fixed, I tried doing audio and video calls again, and once I configured the devices correctly, video calls worked, and audio only worked in one direction. there seems to be a format negociation issue between pulsesrc and what farsight expects.. which is weird since the official maemo voip application uses pulsesrc with farsight too.. I'll have to dig deeper to figure out what's wrong..

but anyways, if you configure your audio/video settings and set your audio source to 'disabled', then you can make an audio/video call with aMSN.. you will be able to send and receive good quality H263 video over RTP, and receive audio, but you just won't be able to send your audio.. that is, until I fix it of course."

Any planned updates on this?

I still don't have the N900 so not really in a hurry, but having it working will influence my buying decision.

Thanks!

Hi again,
no there is no update on this, I don't really have time to look at it at the moment.. when it's working I'll make sure to let you know here and on the maemo.org thread.

Thank you! I understand your busy. I reallly appreciate your returning to the thread on maemo.org as I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd like to know - nearly 10.000 people have looked into the thread.

Any forecast on your update of two-way video AND two-way audio with the N900. You previously had no time to work on this. My question is, do you have any forecast as to when you may get around to it?

Thank you!

[kakaroto]

You don't need snack for sound unless you want to record voice clips, amsn should work fine as it is.
