Subject: [gentoo-user] pidgin 2.6.1 and video
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:22:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <58965d8a0908260822q31120040h8b12292df42a2fee@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
FYI if anyone wants to try audio and video chat on the new pidgin
2.6.1 release, it didn't work for me (UVC webcam) until I emerged
these packages:
pidgin-2.6.1 (with "gstreamer" USE flag enabled)
gst-plugins-v4l2
gst-plugins-farsight
gnome-media
The last item was need to get gstreamer-properties, which let me
define which audio/video devices to use for input and test them. If
you're a gnome user you've probably already got it. Pidgin devs say
they hope to allow configuration from within the app in the future,
but right now it has to be done externally.
