[Ekiga-list] Video Problem with Ekiga on Windows XP Pro

Tue Nov 20 15:24:27 UTC 2007

I can see my video in ekiga on the PC with camera (PC1).  I can make a
call to another PC (PC2) either through my Asterisk Win32 server on my
network, or through ekiga.  I have full duplex audio between the PC1 and
PC2 but I cannot see the video on PC2.  I do see the options change in
the video area in ekiga on PC2 that determine the position of the
incomming video (Picture in Picture settings) but they do not change
anything when I select them.

I have tested SIP video with several other SIP phones - one in
particular - x-lite on my network through asterisk so I know it works.
I have also tested video through my router web baised conferencing sites
and it works fine too.

Do I have to do anything special to enable sending the video with ekiga
??

	In fact I've received video on the Windows 2.0.11 beta too.  The
only thing I haven't had working is simultaneous transmission and
reception of video, since I only have one webcam handy.

	Windows XP Pro.  This is on the company's LAN where there is no
SIP server of any kind and no SIP access to external providers.

		Yes; I can see my video; the far end can see my video.
I've not had a call with anyone who has a camera at their end so I don't
yet know whether incoming video works.  This is the Windows 2.0.11 beta.

				Hi,
				I am a new Ekiga user.  I have to
compliment your efforts - Ekiga is a very nice piece of software !!

				I have successfully installed Ekiga on 2
PCs (PC1 and PC2) on my home network running Windows XP Pro on both PCs.
The software installed beautifully on both PCs.  I was able to configure
SIP through my Asterisk Win32 Server (On a third Windows XP PC - PC3).
I can make full duplex voice calls through Asterisk WIn32 using Ekiga
between PC1 and PC2 with no issues.  What I really want to do is video
conference between PC1 and PC2 through Asterisk.  

				I have not set up a SIP account on your
web site - I just want to do SIP calls on my private network.

				PC1 has an older analog video capture
card - Pinnacle DC10+ installed.  I have an old VHS video camera plugged
into it.  It works very well under Windows XP and is recognized by
Ekiga.  I can see the video from the DC10+ on the local screen under
Ekiga.

				PC2 has a newer USB video camera
installed.  It also works very well under WindowsXP - although it is
slower and with much poorer resolution than the DC10+.  The USB camera
is also recognized by Ekiga on PC2 and I can see its video on the local
Ekiga window.

				When I make a call from PC1 to PC2 I
expected the video from PC1 to be visible in a window on PC2, and of
course the video from PC1 on a window on PC2.  This does not happen.  I
only see the local video on both PC1 and PC2.  Under the view on both
Ekiga installations I see the options for "Remote Video",
"Both(Picture-in-Picture)", "Both (Side-by-Side)", and "Both (Both in
New Windows)" - but NONE of these options can be selected - they are
grayed out.  Should this be working ???  Do I have something configured
incorrectly ?  Do I have to purchase an upgrade ?

				I have successfully configured another
piece of Video conference software (Zoomcall Pro) and the video from
these same PCs works fine in video conference mode.  Unfortunately
Zoomcall REQUIRES you to communicate through their server on the
Internet.  I don't want to do that - I want to stay on my private
network.

				Please help any way you can.

				Also - as you might have guessed - I
have quite an elaborate set up in my lab area so I would be willing to
test any new software you might need a third party to test.

				Thanks,
				Kevin Komara
