Hi everyone:

I recently downloaded and installed on my n900 the Pidgin Internet Messenger... on every conversation, I notice that it has the option to begin a video, audio or video/audio call... however, all of these options are always disabled on the application...

How can I enable them and configure correctly the phone ir order to do video calls with this application to my msn contacts? Or is there any other way I could chat with my msn contacts using the front camera of the n900?

I know with aMSN I can use the camera, but this application is very slow and I donīt like it, so I was looking for an alternative...

Thanks a lot!

If the Windows version has no video/webcam support or any other version as a matter of fact, i doubt the mobile port on the N900 ever will

But video support is in the desktop Linux version. Nokia needs to supply the drivers perhaps is closer to the root of the prob.

Because some hobbyists took it upon themselves to target the TCM825x camera - once again the community comes to the rescue; whereas Pidgin is an opensource app that's being built (the binaries) when the app updates and nobody is tackling that when somebody could or should.

Preferably from within the Pidgin organization since not even Nokia uses the N810 camera much themselves.

I'm speaking only from a N810 owner experience. And I hope that Pidgin 2.7.0 shows up soon.
