Video conferencing plugin

[jlazkano]

It will be great to have a video conferencing plugin in MythTV.

With a cheap webcam and microphone it will works great. If you add the feature to decode/encode HD video stream by hardware, (VDPAU/VAAPI) would be perfect!

Just an idea.

There was a plugin that implemented a SIP video telephone called MythPhone. Asterisk has an experimental video conferencing feature. Maybe someone wants to revive this feature.

Thanks!

I found this code: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... l-branches

It will be great to have a SIP or XMPP plugin. Would it be possible to add the old code to github? I am not developer and I am not so good with coding, but maybe people could help if it is available.

Kind regards.

The code is available on Github. You just have to go far enough back.

Considering the UI would have to be completely rewritten, it would probably be best to simply start from scratch anyway.

Others suggested that it may be easier to just add a MythTV frontend to an existing real time communication framework over at the old wiki. And that they are working on it. (added as an update to the wiki in 2011)
