PC Video Chat with OS2008 video client

Hi,

I have an N810 OS2008 tablet. I have set up Jabber and SIP accounts with it. I have also successfully set up a video conference between two N810 devices over those accounts.

I'm having great difficulty being able to set up a video conference between the N810 and my Linux box. On the Mac, xmeeting is working.

I've tried Ekiga released version, Ekiga snapshot, Linphone, and WengoPhone/OpenWengo. On the N810 side, I've used the default video chat system as well as the Gizmo client. No combination of the above has solved the problem.

I also haven't been able to find any information on the specific video formats that the N810's video conference system sends and accepts. Anecdotally it seems to be H.263, but I can't verify whether that's all that works. It notably does not seem to be compatible with H.263-1998 that Ekiga development has.

I also haven't found any video conferencing client for Windows that works with this device, though I haven't spent nearly as much time looking on that platform.

Has anybody successfully been able to set up a bidirectional video conference between Linux and an OS2008 device? If so, how?

That said, I have it working via Eyebeam on a Windows PC. Both the Windows PC and the N800 are using an Asterisk SIP server I'm running.

I guess the first question would be, what are you connecting to with your N810 and Linux box for SIP service? Just Gizmo, or are you running something like Asterisk, SER, etc?

I've been connecting to the service offered by fwdnet.net most of the time. I do run an Asterisk box on my LAN, but it is not publically-reachable. I suppose I could use that for testing at least. That would eliminate any possible NAT issue from the equation.

I did set up a Gizmo account for testing that, and a WengoPhone account.

Thanks for the suggestions.

NP. I'm not sure if FWD supports any video codecs on their SIP service. If you're looking to set up Asterisk there are a couple things that might come in handy:

Wiki page on the state of Asterisk video support:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+video

As far as enabling support for a couple SIP clients in Asterisk sip.conf, I have:

Code:

[general] 

videosupport=yes

And then a few additions in each client account:

Code:

[n800]

... other settings ...

nat=yes

qualify=yes

videosupport=yes

canreinvite=no

disallow=all

allow=g729

allow=h263

allow=h263p
