[Bug 657453] Re: Can't Establish Video Calls on MSN

 

I have asked for the current position with MS Live audio/visual calls on
#papyon.  I was told that the current problem is with the proprietary
codecs that MS Live is using.

These are the WMV3 video codec and the Siren audio codec (see
http://imfreedom.org/wiki/MSN:AV).  This explains the 'Can't establish
video stream' message I get.

I don't think these codecs are available in the gstreamer plugins
packages (good, bad and ugly).

Title:
  Can't Establish Video Calls on MSN

Status in “telepathy-butterfly” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  When I try to establish a video call with an MSN user, I can see my
  webcam, but not the other user's. The other user see's two 'No Webcam'
  symbols. If they initiate the video call the same thing happens.
