HAVE FUN.

why the hell are you doing such things? they're not required, it's just install the package and run.

please, do not overdo

ALSO: you're not using the 1.4.8 tarball, since in those errors i see things which are not present

LoL, it's true, but my system is really full of s**t...So i removed previous Post!

I've got only 2 questions:
1) How to Install libmimic (only libmimic)?
2) Is libmimic compatible with Windows Live Messenger 2009?

As soon as possible I'll make a new dialog to configure webcam with

• Choose /dev/
• Test if it works (with a little sample screen like Skype)

Thx in advance!

1) i *should* have compiled correctly for jaunty (?) you don't need to compile if you use the package since it's already in /usr/lib/python-support/emesene/python2.6/ .. if you use the tarball see LIBMIMIC_HOWTO, but only if you use the tarball
2) i don't know because i have only 1 person with that wlm, so it must be tested

3) VERY NICE!

I'm under JAUNTY X64, emesene installed from .DEB and

Code:

otacon@otacon-laptop:/usr/lib/python-support/emesene/python2.6$ ls
libmimic.so

ON RECEIVING A WEBCAM INVITE:

Code:

Exception
You are using emesene trunk, so don't complain
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/python-support/emesene/Conversation.py", line 110, in on_webcam_invite
    self.webcam_other = Webcam.Webcam(p2p, self, session, sender)

  File "/usr/share/python-support/emesene/Webcam.py", line 71, in __init__
    self.decoder = libmimic.new_decoder()

NameError: global name 'libmimic' is not defined

ON SENDING WEBCAM INVITE:

Code:

    self.decoder = libmimic.new_decoder()

NameError: global name 'libmimic' is not defined

Maybe I'll have to compile it under a X64 Arch? If you want i can send you a Compiled X64 libmimic.so
Yep i needed a compiled libmimic.so under a x64 arch
So, we'll need to make 2 packages versions: x32 and x64

2) i don't know because i have only 1 person with that wlm, so it must be tested

Yesterday I tested with 2 Windows Live Messenger 2009 users and Debug Error was something like
UNABLE TO SEND FRAME (if I'm not wrong)

3) VERY NICE!

If I can help you to debug this webcam...Since my friends knows nothing about Internet/Routers/Webcam/protocols... I've got both Ubuntu and WinXP...so if you want we can do some tests as soon as possible!

1. ahhh damn x64, this is why we should avoid providing binaries and let distros package their stuff

2. maybe they changed something, needs investigation

3. np

I'M UNDER LOCAL NETWORK
I'm testing webcam with my Desktop XD (i forgot it) and:
-> On Receiving webcam from remote user with Windows Live Messenger 2009  EMESENE DIES XD
-> On Sending webcam to remote user with Windows Live Messenger 2009  EMESENE DIES
Yesterday Emesene doesn't had this behaviour!

Code:

The program 'Controller.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 45 error_code 8 request_code 133 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I've attached my compiled X64 libmimic.so
If anyone uses a 64bit Ubuntu you'll need to copy it under

Code:

/usr/lib/python-support/emesene/python2.6/

Hi, I downloaded the package for intrepid and installed it, but I can get the Webcam working. I see a window called controller.py with my webcam but my contact doesn't.

Did I do something wrong ?

Thanks.

It seems that webcam doesn't work with Windows live Mesenger 2009!

WEBCAM CONFIGURATOR

I've developed a simple tab under emesene's Preferences to configure which /dev/ to use to start a webcam Session.
In this Config Tab you can:
1) Choose /dev/video?
2) Test if this dev works

Since I don't know so much how to PAINT webcam images on windows AND i don't know where to set in code the /dev/ to use i'll post here the updated Modules:

config.py @ Line 85

Code:

'webcamDevice' : 'video0',

so to get the webcam source you will have to overwrite the string
'/dev/video0'
with
"/dev/"+config.user['webcamDevice']

and take a look @ PreferenceWindow.py by your own!

SO THE SYSTEM STILL DOESN'T WORK, BUT IT NEEDS A BIT OF CODING TO MAKE IT WORK!

"It seems that webcam doesn't work with Windows live Mesenger 2009!"

Does it take a lot of work to do so ? I really want to use my cam, you've done a so great work, you won't tell me you'll stop here !

I Didn't make anything 
I don't know how does webcam works...But seems that WLM 2009 uses a new protocol AND/OR uses a new video codec...
We'll wait for new improvements

How about a diff patch?
I think it would be quite useful ^ ^
