Video Phone only works when specific user initiates connection

Hi,
I have an application based on the Cirrus Video phone demo as presented here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/samples/
In general, this works fine, but for one specific user with whom I test, I have the following issue:
When I initate the call, we are paired together by Cirrus, but his video/audio does not transmit to me. He can however see and hear me just fine.
When he initaites the call, everything works fine.
I'm concerned that this is an issue re. NAT/Firewall setup on standard home broadband connections, in that UDP is allowed through his firewall when the firewall sees that the connection has been initiated by him.
I'm a web developer, rather than a Flash developer, and I'm just looking for a few leads so that I can investigate this.
G

My application works as follows:
User1 (me) askes User2 (friend) if they would like to speak via AJAX text chat system
When User2 confirms that they would like to do this:
User1 browser loads Flash app
Flash app connects and obtains session key from cirrus
Flash app writes that session key to database
User2 browser loads Flash app
Flash app checks DB to see if session key exists
If not, it waits, and check again in 10 secs
When session key is finally found, Flash app connects to cirrus
Cirrus now exchanges network data between clients, and P2P connection is established
Call is placed from User2 to User1
User1 answers
Video and audio transmission starts from User1, and is received by User2
No Video and audio transmission is received by User1 from User2 (text chat over Cirrus is however possible)
All of this works in the majority of cases with other users, and when the roles are reversed, it also works.
The only time it doesn't work, it when I try to call my friend.
The behaviour described above can be seen in both my app, and the sample provided by Adobe at:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/samples/
I hear what you are saying about RTMFP, but it really doesn't look like a coding problem, unless that problem also exists in the Adobe demo.

  • Satellite C660-115 WLan connection only works when power cable is connected

    Hello,
    I bought a satelite C660-115 a few weeks ago. I would like to surf the internet anywhere in my home without any wires/cables.
    From the first day I had this problem: when I disconnect the _power_ cable, the wireless connection will stop working.
    The webpage on my screen will still be there, but loading a new page is a problem.
    Sometimes it helps to reload (pressing F5), sometimes not. It always helps to "repair the ip-adress", but not for long.
    The only solution is to atach the power cable, regardless of how much power the battery still has.
    When I do so,there is no problem whith the connection at all.
    I went back to the shop where I bought it, they connected to their own wireless network and they had the same problem after a few minutes. In the shop too attaching the power cable solved the problem.
    So the problem must be in my lap top, not in my network (modem or so).
    Does this all sound familliar and if so, how can I fix it?
    I hope my English is understandable, I live in Holland.
    Thanx in advance!

    Here the solution:

  • USB ports only work when the device is connected at start up

    I have a dv5-1110em laptop which I have upgraded to Windows 7.
    If i connect a USB device before I start the machine then it works fine as long as I do not unplug it.
    If I unplug a device and then need to use it again I have to restart the laptop.
    If there are no devices plugged in at start then the ports will not work with any device.
    I have installed the new BIOS.
    I have uninstalled the USB ports and then re installed them.
    I have been searching for an answer to this for months and found nothing that solves my problem.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem.  Installed windows 7 professional over windows 7 home preminu.
    Only see USB device if it's plugged in at startup.

  • Cannot type the letter "t" when phone is in portrait orientation. will only work when phone is in landscape.

    cannot type the letter "t" when phone is in portrait orientation. will only work when phone is in landscape.This causes some problems as some apps do not change orientation so when the "t" is needed to be entered it cannot be carried out

  • IPod 5 sound only works when head phones are pluged in

    Sound only works when ear phones are pluged in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • ZTE Open C Accelerometer only works when phone is upside down?

    I just received my new ZTE Open C and when I tried a few games, like Sketchbook Squad, for example, I found that the accelerometer control ONLY works if I hold my phone upside down.
    Does anyone know if this may be an OS related issue relating to calibration, or maybe it's a defective device?

    Hi bugninja,
    I also tried SketchBook Squad and it's working correctly on my device.
    Can you please list *all* the apps that you are having problems with? Please specify which of those apps the accelerometer do not seem to work at all, and which of those apps the accelerometer only works when the phone is upside down. This information will help greatly in investigating this issue.
    Please also let us know the Build ID of your ZTE Open C device. To find the Build ID, go into '''Settings''' > '''Device Information''' > '''More Information'''.
    Thanks,
    - Ralph

    Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?

    Had the same issue. Tried everything that was posted for troubleshooting bye apple and on the discussions.
    Finally, tried something that solved it and it works flawlessly now. I changed my wireless router.
    I was using my ISP's supplied ZyXEL PN660 ADLS2+ with Wireless N. Swtiched to an older Linksys WRT160N and it is working beautifully now.
    Take a look at your router, make sure the firmware is up to date, and that UPnP is enabled, and if all is correct, and you have done everything else, try another Wireless router if you can.

  • Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code?

    Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code? Itunes tries to sync all night and posts 50 unknown errors. I unlock the phone and it syncs. I dont want my phone sitting around without a lock code but with wireless sync I cant find a place to tell itunes my code so it can sync? Any help is appreciated... Ray O

    I have the same problem. I am forced to have a PIN set on my devices because I use my corporate exchange email and sync over wi-fi initially fails until I manually unlock the phone/ipad.  #ckuan needs to read the words wiritten.  We know how it's supposed to work but it won't start until you enter the PIN. Until then I get error messages saying either it cannot find the phone or explicitly telling me I need to unlock it.

  • Built-in microphone only works when phone is connected to iPod nano cable

    Hi, I got an iPhone yesterday but the microphone doesn't work properly. I have figured out that the built-in microphone will only work when I connect the dock cable from a second generation iPod nano. The cable that comes with the iPhone does not work. The supplied handsfree earbuds work correctly at all times.
    The strangest part of the problem is that the iPod dock cable doesn't have to be connected to my computer!
    I'll state the problem again. Let's say I make a phone call. The person on the other end cannot hear anything I say, but I can hear them. Then I plug in the dock cable from a second generation iPod nano, and the other person can then hear me. Unplug the cable and they can not hear me.
    I have tried restoring the iPhone three times, turned it on and off, and inserted and removed the headphone plug many times. These actions do nothing. *The only way I can talk on my phone is if I insert the dock connector from my old iPod!*

    Take it back.....

  • TS1630 My iphone4 speakers will only work when I receive a call or factime, but for nothing else. Why?

    My Speakers on my iphone4 will only work when I receive a call or facetime, and are muffled when an alarm goes off. Other than that, I have absolutely no sound from anything- text, music, videos, games, etc. UNLESS I use headphone. My phone will vibrate with text messages, though. When I try to turn up the volume on the side, it doesn't register any bars- the space for the volume boxes is blank. Also, there is no volume bar in my music when I try to turn up the volume. I have tried restarting my phone numerous times, I have also checked and rechecked the switch on the side to no avail. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas or know what might cause this?

    I tried this and noticed a little green inside the charging port. I panicked thinking it was corrupt, but found out if you lighting moisten the toothbrush with alcohol and gently scrub (with the power off) you can remove the green. I started inspecting one of our charging adapters, which had been giving us trouble, and it was very green inside. Not sure if it can transfer from one to the other?
    BUT now I have sound! Thanks for your suggestion, it helped!

  • Does iMessages only work when writing to people who have i05, or can you write to people using other systems ?

    I have an iPad 2, but have never yet been able to send a iMessage....does this only work when writing to people who also have i05, or can you also write to people who use other systems ?
    iMessages is turned on on my system, but even when writing to people who I know have iPads or iPhones , I just get the red exclamation mark....
    Sending messages on my iPhone seems to work okay when sending to non iPhone users, so I don't understand what's wrong here .

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529 :
    iMessage allows you to send unlimited text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts using Wi-Fi or 3G* from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to other iOS 5 users.
    Note: On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can turn this on or off in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage will appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS will appear in a green bubble.

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.
