*NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Not sure if this was posted already. Did a quick search and came up with nothing on the forum, so here it is.

from the forums of Gizmo N800 topic.

Make Video Calls using the Nokia N800 – Beta Release

We are excited to announce that we have added video calling functionality into the Gizmo Project client for the Nokia N800. Now you can see and talk to family, friends, and colleagues all over the world.

We have a beta version available for testing now, click here to try it out!

There are known issues that need to be resolved before we release this client publicly, here's a list of improvement/fixes we are currently working on:

* Limited testing has been done making calls between N800 and other Gizmo clients (i.e. Windows, Mac), we are continuing to make improvements in this area
* Video options haven't been added in yet
* Need to improve cpu usage (lowering it) without affecting video quality
* 'Hold' currently only holds audio .. needs to hold video as well.

We are going to continue improving video quality, graphics and usability over the next couple of weeks, before releasing publicly. So we would love to hear any feedback you may have.

Thank you,
The Gizmo Project Team

THAT'S FANTASTIC!

Camera usable again!

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Hopefully it motivates skype to do the same.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Like wow!!! This is soooooo kewl!!!!!...

....with one minor exception: VIDEO HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED!

...go figure

way to go Gizmo... its rather pointless to make a beta available to test "video" and then not implement it.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

It's included and working for me.

Like wow!

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

ok Zerojay...

here is my Gizmo nic: studio37

ring me up please and lets test this...

i don't see any reference to vid in preferences or anywhere else for that matter.

make me eat my words!

Regards...

Omega :rolleyes:

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

* Video options haven't been added in yet <-- that's why you don't see anything in preferences yet

All you have to do is make a call. You'll see the video window come up. Calls between the N800 and the latest PC beta appear to work fine for me.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

ok... i'll take your word for it.

just seem premature...

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

video is working. just no settings in drop down menu, can't tweak it out yet.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Unique...

i will assume it was you trying to call me... started to work then crashed.

but then again, its a beta.

thanks for trying though, i really do appreciate it.

Regards...

Omega :)

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Did you hear me?
the camera seemed to work, but i wasn't getting no sound. Not sure if you heard me.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Unique...

didn't or hear you but that may have been because Giz on my end crashed.

the reason for that may have been because i also had SIP enabled (make SIP calls via GTalk... i think thats what that is). the first call you made also brought up the SIP call dialogue...

have since disabled that.

Regards...

Omega

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Unique...

as soon as i answer the call, Gizmo crashes.

Thanks for trying, but i'll wait now for the next update.

Thanks again...

Omega

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

well tried again, no go.
guess in a couple of weeks like they promise, should have nice functional version available.
still get an A for adding the feature.
Hopefully it will be compatible with all the little features gizmo offer.
such as chats with msn, yahoo, and gtalk.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

This is great news. I applaud the Gizmoproject team for their continuing efforts to improve their product. Over the past few months I have used Gizmo more frequently than Skype. This will put Gizmo over the top.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Could you please let us know from where you've downloaded your latest PC beta? I'm not able to find it on the Net :(
Thank you very much in advance!

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

the first post on this thread,
the letters in red
but here it is again
>>>>click me<<<<

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Thanks but I was talking about PC releases, not the N800 release which I've already installed. I'm not able to find these PC beta releases on the link you've posted... unless I'm nearly blind :rolleyes:

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

This beta is N800 specific only.
not available for the PC.
might want to check out project gizmo forum, and ask the dude who released it.
I tried logging on to the forum, but can't get in with my gizmo username and password.
And i can't seem to locate register for the forum.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

can you up the pc beta release. thanks.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think a PC version is available.
ask around on the Gizmo Project forum (N800 Thread).

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

This is quite strange IMHO, specially because Zerojay was mentioning latest PC beta at the beginning of this thread: video-call has worked fine for him between his N800 and a PC. And I can't imagine that Gizmo or any other organisation could start developping new features on N800 first, even if I like the idea ;-)

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Wow I completely missed what zerojay posted..
guess there is a beta for the pc..
i'll look around for it.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

found the link for the PC version, but I can't get into the thread. seems to only be available for registered users.
my gizmo username and password doesn't work for the forum.
zerojay can you share the wealth.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

I had found this too, but even with a valid Gizmo account, the thread is not available :
Note that there is also a "Gizmo 4.0 beta" forum available in the search form, but I'm not able to find it in the list of available forums on forums homepage...

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Look at this link: http://forum.gizmoproject.com/search..._author=sharon

There's a short version of this announcement post :)

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

zerojay got it somehow, Hopefully he can share.
going to send him a pm.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

a) The beta I downloaded was 4.0 on my wife's laptop (I don't use Windows).
b) I just tried it out two times between the laptop and N800. Both were able to send and receive video at the same time, though it was still somewhat glitchy. Understandable as it's a beta.
c) I uninstalled it from the laptop and removed the installer.
d) I can't get back into the same post anymore either. Actually, I can no longer login on their forums whatsoever. I'm not sure what the hell is going on here.

I'm going to raise a ticket about the login problem. I can't seem to login with my LJ login either. Very odd.

Okay, the forum doesn't normally need a login to post, however that post does require it as it's specifically for beta testers as far as I can tell. I must have been lucky and grabbed it before the post was locked down. Too bad the beta isn't on Jasmine. :/

Sorry guys. I wouldn't have gotten rid of it if I thought it would have been impossible to get after. :(

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

More info about incoming PC beta version!! http://forum.gizmoproject.com/viewto...p?t=7098#35482

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Got an Undelete utility?

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

checked the site today and it seems like the project has been put on hold temporarily...

i dont understand why n800 to pc and vice versa video calling has not been implemented yet! this is a HUGE tool that would easily make this device more marketable.. especially for people on the go like most of us here!! it just boils me that I can't video call anyone who <b>doesnt</b> have an n800... geesh!!

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

They're working on it.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Hi!
Am I wrong or some new files have been added to http://download.gizmoproject.com/jas...izmo-3.1.0.77/? It looks like a release is available for a regular Linux box: anyone around having made some tests?

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

That's the current public version of Gizmo. FAIL.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Anyone find out why they can't log in with their username and password? My N800 works fine.. just not their website.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

change your pwd through gizmo, then you'll be able to log into their forums.

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Does somebody has a local copy of gizmo-project_4.0.0.82_N800_armel.deb ?

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

Yes, I'd be interested too :)

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)

Re: *NEW*Make Video Calls with the Nokia N800 (beta version)
 

It would be an excellent service if the n800 would just offer up it's camera for Flash to use. You can see (and hear) the person on the other side very well. But on the n800 side the camera isn't availble for flash to use. The mic works but it's very choppy.
