Description iain baker 2004-01-03 01:50:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4KDE 1.2)
OS:          Linux

Video and audio chat for all pluggins- i realise you have a netmeeting pluggin, but this does not help when chatting to users with yahoo or msn 6 that dont use netmeeting to connect.

i dont know if this is possible but would be nice!

Changing title to refer to yahoo, since there is already a bug for this for MSN ( bug #70538 )

What protocol does Yahoo use for Video chat?

If it uses SIP this is effectively a duplicate of #70538, and #70538 can be changed to refer to SIP.

libyahoo2 (which is used by kopete) seems to provide webcam support as I read in 
their changelog:

http://libyahoo2.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog

Would it still be complicated to implement webcam support?

Comment 3 Matt Rogers 2004-12-25 23:18:30 UTC

Yes, it's still complicated. However, the backend library having support for 
it makes it a tad easier.

Comment 4 Andrei Slavoiu 2005-02-22 16:52:21 UTC

Maybe it would be easier to use http://phpaint.sourceforge.net/pyvoicechat/index_gwebcam.php as a plugin until native support is implemented in Kopete.

SVN commit 421036 by chetan:

Add webcam receiving support for yahoo. Hope that jpc support gets into kimgio soon.

I need to talk to my family in UK and USA. And many friends in Middle East. Yahoo! Voice Chat is the most important for me. Because of Yahoo! Voice Chat I have to use Windoze :(.

Comment 7 Aqueel Ahmed 2005-06-23 08:11:55 UTC

please support voice chat, I need it to talk to my parents in India. Here in Dubai, Skype and other voice over ip are blocked by the Government :(. I'm left only with Yahoo! messenger and unfortunately no Linux client has this great feature. I've tried gyache but there voice is more like noise, utterly useless.

Either I must use windows and windows' yahoo client to talk to my parents or use telephone international call, which is very costly. 

I'll be obliged if you support voice chat in kopete.

Hello from the KDE Bugsquad!

Unfortunately, Yahoo has discontinued the Yahoo Messenger service, and the code has been removed from Kopete.

Thus, I am closing this bug as "UNMAINTAINED" since it will no longer be fixable, or able to operate due to Yahoo.
