So, there's this great web-based application for collaborative conferencing, desktop sharing, et cetera. It's licensed under the GNU LGPL, and it works great on every computer I've tried it on--except my N900. It gets as far as asking me if I want to allow Adobe Flash to access to my camera and microphone, but then when I actually attempt to play the video stream it never seems to connect to the camera. I'm just curious, you see...

Before I go spending a lot of time on this, it would help if I can get some confirmation that it works or not on your N900. I'm using the latest firmware as of this writing.

Here is the demo: http://demo.bigbluebutton.org

apparently it does

works but slow as snail

When you say it works, do you mean you were able to see video of yourself?

Thanks,
Jason

Thanks to the wonderfully infamous Adobe Flash in the browser, no video conferencing yet. I'd like to see Adobe made irrelevant.

Does anyone have an N900 with Flash that can successfully access the microphone and camera?

The settings just claim to not notice the devices. Very disappointing. Any preliminary ideas? The V4L stuff seems to be the same as my other systems (/dev/video0, etc) and so I don't yet see any reason why Flash shouldn't detect the devices. Perhaps that feature is intentionally disabled? I will be looking into this.

I've answered your other posting of this.

For the sake of completeness, my question was answered by sjgadsby elsewhere on the forum:

Very disappointing, I say. How crippling and unnecessary. Shame on you Adobe and/or Nokia and/or other responsible parties.

Wouldn't Nokia have to make the drivers available to the plugin in order to allow for microphone access? Thus the blame starts/stops with Nokia?
