Now Jingle RTP sessions thru NAT should work.

Yagiza, congrats :)

Yagiza: That's a lib?

I fear it is a client

flow, thanx

We should consider to factor out more stuff into libs, so that other projects could benefit from that functionality too

Ah, I was hoping it is a lib enabling voice calls for a a lot of clients.

flow, yes, it's a client. But Jingle ICE-UDP XEP is implemented in a separate plugin, and ICE itself is implemented in QpICE (a part of QtPurple framework).

!XSF_Martin, QtPurple has QpFFMpeg library - a wrapper for conveniend using FFMpeg in Qt applications and QpICE library - a Qt-based implementation of ICE technology.

eyeCU uses QpFFMpeg in Jingle RTP Sessions plugin and QpICE in Jingle ICE-UDP Transport Method plugin.

Also, Jingle itself implemented as a separate plugin.

eyeCU is a fork of Vacuum-IM, so it's jut a large set of plugins and a simple loader to load and start them.

Never heard of eyeCU, will have a look 😃

!XSF_Martin, please, try it. http://eyecu.ru.

Yagiza, you don't have 64bit debs?

Martin, even 32bit debs are too old and I guess won't work.

Martin, unfortunately I don't have time last few years for Linux builds.

Yagiza, how far are you from WebRTC compatibility?

Link Mauve, I don't know what WebRTC is.

A set of protocols allowed by web browsers for audio/video conferencing.

If you are compatible with them, it means you can communicate with web clients, most of them do support audio/video already.

For instance JSXC, Movim or Jitsi Meet.

Link Mauve, I implement XEPs and I think only about correct implementation of XEPs. I don't think about compatibility with libraries or other implementations.

Link Mauve, if those clients have correct implementation of Jingle stack, my client should be compatible with them.

Yagiza, this isn’t about libraries, it is about usage of ICE (good), DTLS-SRTP for encryption (do you do that?), and a few more.

Yagiza, btw I saw you have a Utena avatar when reviewing the new XSF members, I love this series! <3

Link Mauve, I didn't implement SRTP yet, but I guess it won't be a problem, 'cause FFMpeg should support it.

Ok, great. :)

Link Mauve, that Utena image from Four Days in Ohtori (Sega Saturn game). I just replaced background with self-made gradient.

Link Mauve, in the series Utena never wore a mask.

Heh, I thought you added the mask. ^^

Link Mauve, I'm using this avatar for long years, 'cause my nickname "Yagiza" means "Capricorn" and Utena is Capricorn by Zodiac.

I would never have made that link!

Link Mauve, also my nickname is "Yagiza" not only because I'm also Capricorn.

Link Mauve, "Capricorn" means "Goat" and my family name "Козлов" (reads "Kazloff") means "of Goats".

Yagiza, if I want to compile eyecu for ArchLinux, where can I get the sources?

Link Mauve, https://gitlab.com/rwsoftware/eyecu-qt

Oh, this is only for X11? :/

You should eventually make the libX11, libXss and such optional.

Link Mauve, no. It's just a rudiment from old Vacuum-IM. I will fix it once I have time to work on Linux builds.

Ok.

What should QT_USE_FILE point to?

I’m trying to build against Qt5.

Link Mauve, I don't know. Never heard about that variable.

You use it in src/loader/CMakeLists.txt:18 as an include.

And a few other places.

Link Mauve, don't try cmake. It is not supported by eyeCU. All cmake files are also rudimental from Vacuum-IM.

Oh!

I should have read INSTALL first, it says to use qmake.

Link Mauve, yes

Link Mauve, thanx!
