Pidgin voice and video chat menus gone!?

I opened pidgin today to find that all the options to start a video chat / voice chat are gone. And the plugin which configures microphone and webcam is also not in the list of plugins.
It is pretty wierd.
I'm using gnome 3.6 with arch linux x86_64 and Pidgin 2.10.6 (libpurple 2.10.6)
. How can I fix this?

Just regular system upgrading thats it. I don't remember exactly when these menus are gone. I noticed it today.
I downgraded to pidgin-2.10.6-1 from -2 and now I can see the the plugin. Still doesn't work but it shows this error below it.
Error: undefined symbol: gst_property_probe_get_type
Check the plugin website for an update.

Google voice and video chat plugin seems to not work with Firefox 4

Once login, I click on parameters item then Chat.
In the audio and video chat section my webcam seems not to be detected.
This works well with Firefox 3.6.
Any help is welcome :-)

Seems to be fixed in the Firefox new version (4.0.1).
Best Regards.

On your BlackBerry10 device:
Reboot: On the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
Now, try again.
Likewise, ask a BBM contact of yours to tell you if your BBM contact has the green icon for BBM voice/video.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
YES! In fact I set up my own PC machine to test. Follow the windows tip section that can be found at: http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
It's also best to make sure your set-up is working correctly by testing with a known mac user that has no issues. This way you can troubleshoot where the issue lies.

IChat 3.1.8 voice and video not working - thank you

I am in the UK, trying to connect with people back in the states could this be a factor? Other people in my flat dont seem to have a problem connecting however and I've been able to connect to people room to room when I try. I also had this problem in the States connecting from my Mac to a PC for video chat but was able to do so if I used Yahoo Chat instead of iChat.
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions would be really apprecaited. Thank you for any help.

Welcome to the Voice and Video over WLAN Discussion

Welcome to the Cisco Networking Professionals Connection Wireless Forum. This conversation will provide you the opportunity to discuss issues surrounding Voice and Video over WLAN. We encourage everyone to share their knowledge and start conversations on issues such as bandwidth intensive wireless applications, and any other topic concerning Voice and Video over WLAN.
Remember, just like in the workplace, be courteous to your fellow forum participants. Please refrain from using disparaging or obscene language or posting advertisements.

This is easily done with dial peer statements . The dial peer in your originating router must route the calls to the terminating router first. That would look like :
dial-peer voice xxxxx voip ( the xxxxx is just a tag)
destination-pattern 45... (that would route any 5-digit calls beginning with 45)
session-target ipv4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address of the terminating router)
If digitones are to be dialed after the connection is established, use the statement:
dtmf-relay-h.245-alphanumeric
You could also use a statement to specify the codec to be used:
codec g711ulaw
You would need multiple voip dial peers if the calls were going to different routers based on the dialed digits. If all calls are sent to the same terminating router, use all wild cards in the dest-pattern statement.
At the terminating router configure pots dial peers:
dial-peer voice xxxxx pots
dest-pattern 45...
port x/x (whichever port the call is to be terminated on)
prefix 45 (this re-inserts matched digits which are stripped off by the pots dp)
Repeat for other ports which will receive calls.

Screen Sharing and video chats don't work

I've been searching this forum for awhile and I haven't found a concrete answer to my problem, so if this question has been answered please excuse me. Ok, So here's my situation am running iChat on Mac OS 10.5.1. Whenever I am using my laptop at my school on the network their, I am able to use both screen sharing and video chat. But when I am at home, I am unable to use either one. It begins to try to start the session, but then i receive a message that tells me that a connection could not be established. I know that I have internet access, but I don't know what could be wrong with it.

After investing far to long in looking at this exact issue on my end, reading the seemingly endless threads on the exact same error, trying all the various tweeks and QT settings, bandwidth limit settings, etc etc. proposed here, I have now solved this problem, and the none of the above were part of the solution.
I have perhaps one of the the most common routers on the market, Linksys WRT54GL.
In a totally unrelated network problem (a printing issue), Linksys tech support advised me to reset my router. There is a small button on the bottom. I depressed it for 30 seconds. Rebooted everything and my printer miraculously worked. Yea, I had to reenter my WAP passkey, router admin password etc., but that took 2 secs. So, what does this have to do with iChat?.... The very next time I tried iChat video and turned on and enabled my camera, the recipient immedialty saw me. No connection error.
Problem solved, for me art least. Not sure if anyone has tried this, but makes sooooo much more sense than the other unApple like suggestions I previous tried. Hope this helps.

Eight-Class Model QoS for voice and video

One of the QoS recomendation in the SRND "Enterprise QoS" is to create a Eight-Class QoS Model utilizing a seperate priority queue for voice and video.
It says that even though you have only one physical priority queue, that LLQ has an implicit policer that allows for time-division multiplexing of the single priority queue. This implicit policer abstract the fact that there is essentially a single LLQ within the algorithm and, thus, allows for the "provisioning" of multiple LLQs.
My question is if anyone has tried this and if there are any limitations on the platforms that can support this "dual-LLQ design."

Design guide which is basically the QoSDesign recommendation bible.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/solution/esm/qossrnd.pdf
It has a large section for WAN recommendations...while you may not
need to follow one of these Based on my understanding what what you
have for a link (DS3) and what you are trying to accomplish, I
believe the following section would be a good place to start.
- WAN Aggregator QoS Design
- WAN Edge Classification and Provisioning Models
- High Link Speed QoS Class Model
- Eight-Class Model

Has anyone tried installing the Google Voice and Video plugin?

Hi,
I wanted to check out the Hangouts feature at Google+, but I need the Google Voice and Video plugin for that. I tried unpacking the deb package supplied by Google and installing it manually, but the plugin does not work and Firefox just keeps crashing. Could anyone actually get it to work with Arch yet?

Sorry for not using the search, I see it's available in AUR... http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36308

IM and video chat in RMI ?

Hi there, i wrote a message to JMF but i m not it is relevant with that topic. So added it here.
I am making a instant messaging and video chat application with jmf. For this project , which one is usefull i am not sure. Can anyone help me?
, For instant messaging, Does Tcp/Ip client server suitable?, or just rmi server enough for that?
So both IM and Video chat application what king of design shall i make?
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
The GoogleTalk part of iChat will only Video or Audio Only chat with other iChat Users that have a Jabber or GoogleTalk ID (Googletalk is a Jabber server).
This means NOT to PCs or to anyone logged in to the GoogleMail Chat web page option.
As you may know iChat can have Jabber/Google IDs or AIM valid ones that include Apple IDs ending in @Mac.com or @me.com
You can not do any chat of Any kind between these two types of Buddy Lists.
Not AIM to Jabber or Jabber to AIM buddies even if they are using iChat.
You have not said if you can Video chat (Or Audio only Chat) with anyone.
Your post implies from my reading of it that you also have a AIM valid Screen Name.
iChat uses the same protocol and the same ports to do Video or Audio Only chats no matter which type of Buddy List is used.
In System Preferences > Security > Firewall tab if the Firewall is to be used with iChat it should be set at Allow All (In fact Off) or Allow Specific Apps and iChat added to the list.
As you can Text chat you appear to be past this stage.
To Video chat iChat uses different ports to those used for Text chatting.
These may need to be opened or allowed in your routing device if you cannot Video chat at all.
The best method in terms of Ease and allowing iChat Screen Sharing is to use UPnP in most routers or Port Mapping Protocol to be Enabled in Airport Base Stations.

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,
GB

ISight conflict when installing Google Voice and Video driver

After installing Google Voice and Video driver, the iSight stops working on Flash based applications or websites.
Two camera drivers are installed: Google camera 0 and Google camera 1.
Even if I go to Settings and choose the correct driver (iSight Integrated), it does't works.
The only way I found to solve this issue is removing those Google's drivers (Library/Application Support/Google/GoogleVoiceAndVideoUnistaller).
However, this is not a solution since I can't use GTalk anymore.
Does Flash Player 10.2 fixes this conflict?

Firewall and Video Chat

I've had my iSight for about a year and haven't had too many problems connecting and starting video chats (even from other universities). However, I am working at a University in FL now and was trying to start a video chat and I get the message "Failed to start Video Chat because: (my name) did not respond" After reading some of these discussions (University Firewall and Video Chat in particular) along with other help topic suggestions, I am guessing this is a firewall problem concerning open ports? I can connect with the apple test server for video chat, but not with my buddies. I haven't contacted my IT dept. yet about firewalls, but any suggestions in the mean time? Thanks in advance for any help.
