Video Chat App won't launch

Hello,
Recently, my video chat app has stopped working. It will not launch, instead displaying a dialogue box that says, "error-services-failed (30000)"
It does not seem to matter which wifi network I am connected to. I have reset the device with no improvement, as well as upgrading to the latest OS.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

connect your playbook to desktop manager and update it if its updated then repair it

Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?

Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?
Edit: for video chat between the Charge and a PC.
Thanks!

I tried Tango, Qik, and ooVoo.
The only one that can use the Charge's front facing camera AND video chat with a PC is the ooVoo.
Works perfectly!
Tango and Qik ad mobile-to-mobile only at this time.
Thanks!
P.S. .... this really makes me wonder why Skype cannot work with the front facing camera if other
companies can do it on the Froyo? I guess Skype developers are really lazy(or have no incentive
to make it work)

Rotate the front camera in Android for video chat app

Hi,
I developing a video chat app on Android with Adobe AIR 3.6 beta.
I currently using the Camera, Microsphone and Video classes. I panning to use StageVideo next
I understand fully that Adobe has stated that when using the Camera do it in Landscape mode.
Problem is my compnay wants it in Portrait mode only and is not interested in landscape video chatting app at all!
I can do this in native Java code with 6 lines of code by rotateing the camera,
but it seems impossible on Adobe Air mobile.
What I tried
a) Rotate the display object contain the video which has my camera attached
Result: It works! It only solves half my problem as the video is still being transmitted in landscape mode
b) Using Matrix and transform
Result. Does not work correctly and does not help as the video is still being transmitted in landscape mode
What I am considering
a) Build an ActionScript Extension that calls native java code that rotates the camera
Boy is this really nessscary?
b) Create another Netstream and copy the video stream contains the landscape vidoe feed into an bytearray and then
transpose the array and feed it into a newly created Portrit video feed!
Is this evan technically possible?
I understand peope will say that just accept landscape but that not an option right now
Any hep is greatly appreciated. I cannot be the first engineer that wants a Portriat locked video chatting appp on Android using Adobe AIR

I ran into this very same problem building a video conf app that could rotate in any direction on the device.
I ended up doing what you tried for A, but took it a little further. I injected information into the stream I was sending so I would know what to do on the other side.... information including not only the oriention of the video, but orientation of the device as well as the Microphone activity level. (because i needed to know everyones mic levels on all devices).
Yes this is a workaround but at least it's a solution.
something like this....
netsream.send("onActivity", {micActivity:this._microphone.activityLevel});

Talking to New People on Playbook Video Chat : App Idea

Hi,
I had this idea to create an app that can help you discover people with similar interests and connect to them via Playbook video chat.
There will be no registration necessary. The application will manage discovery of people. This would be great for meeting new friends, business contacts or just someone to video of voice chat.
Your thoughts?

That could be good, I look forward to seeing it

Video Chat apps

What is the best app to use for video chat for IPad 2 and to communicate with MACs?

FaceTime works just fine with any iOS device and macs. If you want to go outside the apple family, Skype is probably in most use. FaceTime is built in on the iOS machines, and there is an app in the Mac app store for the Mac.

Is someone developing a windows live messenger video chat app for the ipad2...if so, any idea when it is due to come out?

Is anyone developing an app to allow windows live messenger video chat on the iPad2? They have one for iPhone already? If so, when will it come out?

They are available now!

Error in Video Chat app in Android

Hi all,
I am trying to build Video Chat application for android in flex 4.5 using LiveCycle Collaboration Services. I have created new flex mobile application and used following code in mxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:cs="http://ns.adobe.com/rtc" currentState="logon" fontSize="28">
    <fx:Script>
        [Bindable] private var roomURL:String = "https://collaboration.adobelivecycle.com/newjignesh/myfirstroom";
        protected function connect():void {
            auth.userName = userName.text;
            currentState = "default";
            session.login();
    </fx:Script>
    <s:states>
        <s:State name="default"/>
        <s:State name="logon"/>
    </s:states>
<fx:Declarations>
<cs:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:TextInput id="userName" includeIn="logon" top="200" horizontalCenter="0"/>
<s:Button label="Connect" click="connect()" includeIn="logon" top="250" horizontalCenter="0" height="50" width="150"/>
<cs:ConnectSessionContainer id="session" roomURL="{roomURL}" authenticator="{auth}" autoLogin="false" width="100%" height="100%" includeIn="default">
<cs:WebCamera top="10" left="10" bottom="10" right="10"/>
</cs:ConnectSessionContainer>
</s:Application>
I have also added lccs.swf and source folder. I was not able to compile the code due to error:
'ConnectSessionContainer' declaration must be contained within the <Declarations> tag, since it is not assignable to the default property's element type 'mx.core.IVisualElement'.
Can anybody please suggest why I am getting this error.

Hi,
Actually that much of the log is akin to telling a motor mechanic "It goes Clunk"
Can you copy the Log from Users/(your account)/Library/Logs and post most of it.
stop at the line that says "Binary Images for iChat" as the bits below that are not useful at this stage.
If it says Error 8 in the top paragraph it could be that ports or your LAN needs sorting out.
Knowing what routing devices you are using (Makes and models) and what you have done to set them up would also be helpful.

Anyone know a bluetooth-enabled video chat app?

Have tried: Skype, Tango, Fring, Qik. Of them:
Skype is buggy as hell and only works with a bluetooth for voice calls, no video.
Fring is reliable but, again, bluetooth does not work during video calls.
Tango: video calls are the best of the batch for video quality, but not bluetooth compatible at ALL that I could find, and the audio loops back horribly when used over speakerphone.
Qik: Video splits itself into four segments, then pinstripes those four segments. Didn't even try bluetooth due to non-functional video.
I've submitted feedback to the first three to please include bluetooth support for video calls but never received a response. Does anyone know of another app that *does* offer bluetooth video call support? My girlfriend wants to watch me drive while we talk *shrug*

Here's a version of Tango that supports Bluetooth:

Video Chat missing

Hi,
Video chat application is missing in my playbook. I checked my OS... it is Blackberry OS 1.0.8.
How to download ? any one knows?

Having the same situation. I had a 16GB PlayBook before for evaluation and the app was there. Recently bought the 64GB for personal use, and I can't find the app anywhere...?!

Video Chat; why is there no better app?!

Hello,
I love my BlackBerry PlayBook; however, I really dislike that I am not able to video chat with my friends and family because they don't have the PlayBook. Why is there no oovoo or skype app? BlackBerry is such a great company with great products, but this is a major set back for me. I don't see why the video chat app that is already on there won't let you call people that have facetime being that facetime uses email addresses anyway.
Will there be apps available soon??? I have tried just about everything to try and video chat with it. PLEASE make apps available or make the already exisiting video chat app able to call non PlayBook users.
I would hate to get rid of my tablet because of this.
Thanks!

How many video chats can you use with this server?

I am looking to develop a multi-video chat app that's easy to
build. Can I use Stratus with this? Or do I need to use FMS.

none of the video streams will pass through Stratus. Stratus
only enables end-to-end streams. You are limited only by the amount
of bandwidth the client ends have as far as how many different
streams can be flowing.
if you need to relay streams through a server (the to-many
case, or the end-to-end is blocked by firewalls or certain NAT
configurations cases), you'll need to use FMS.

Video Chat Application : Problem downstream on ios device

Hi
I made real time video chat application between mobile (ios and android device with flash builder 4.7 on flex 4.6.0 and adobe air 15) and flash desktop website (flash builder 4.6, on flex 4.6.0 air 4.0). It's almost done, but there is a problem only ios device subscribe stream is very lag for the first time that video streaming start. Sometime it is stop for several time before it can be play that stream. I find the cause of it such as network, flash desktop build version, buffer (it's very smooth but there is problem when you press home button while using video chat, It's stream is gone T^T)
I have the example of downstream :
// ------------ sample code that using netstream ------------
if(subscribeNetStream == null)
subscribeNetStream = new NetStream(subscribeNetConnection);
trace("Initial for playing agent video")
subscribeNetStream.client = {onMetaData:function(obj:Object):void{}};
// display metadata
var clientMetaData:Object = new Object();
clientMetaData.onMetaData = function(info:Object):void{
trace("onMetaData");
// print debug information about the metaData
for (var propName:String in info){
trace(" "+propName + " = " + info[propName]);
subscribeNetStream.client = clientMetaData;
// trace the NetStream status information
subscribeNetStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, subscribeNetStatusHandler);
// set the buffer time to zero since it is chat
subscribeNetStream.bufferTime = 0;
// subscribe to the named stream
subscribeNetStream.play("Stream_name");
// attach to the stream
if(!videoSubscriber){
videoSubscriber = new Video(uicAgent.width, uicAgent.height);
videoSubscriber.attachNetStream(subscribeNetStream);
uicAgent.addChild(videoSubscriber);
------------------- netstream/netconnection handle method ----------------------------
private function subscribeNetStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
trace(event.currentTarget+" : "+event.info.clientid+" : Subscribe netStatus = "+event.info.code+"\n "+event.info.description);
switch(event.info.code) {
case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
trace("Success to play");
playStream();
break;
case "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" :
if(holdingNetStream)
holdingNetStream.seek(0);
default:
break;
// --------- End of sample code ------------------
I have no idea for solving this problem please suggest me
Thank you

Check this page out for a list of apps available in a certain region on the PlayBook:
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB27203&sliceId=2&cm...
As for why it would be on your old PlayBook, I've noticed that early releases included all the apps - and then that was changed. The only two ways to get around this is to either sideload the video chat app or use a proxy in another country to set up your new PlayBook.

Front facing camera not working for video chat on Revolution

How come the front facing camera doesn't work on Tango? I wanted a new phone with FFC to use on Tango and for when Skype goes video on phones and it seems it don't work on Tango. Is it just Revolution or is it the same on all phones? I don't need a FFC phone to take pics of myself I have had no problem doing that on other phones, would love the feature to do what it is supposed too.

Hi bulldog69!
To answer your question, some of those video chat applications have additional 'plug-ins' that need to be downloaded from the Market as well. Just search for "tango" in the Market and see if anything pulls up. If this is not the case, try to uninstall and re-install the application from the Market. I recommend trying another video chat app to see if that works as well. If you can take photos and video with the FFC, there's no issue with the device.
Hope that helps! Keep us posted.
Thank you!
Well we have two Revolutions and i tried the uninstall and reinstall and no good. Couldn't find any plug ins.
What other video chat apps do you know of that might work? Tried Fring and tha was junk. Thanks for any of your help that you give me
