Yes definitely critical! what i would give to have a jabber client that can send receive audio clips, voice convo's, webcam steams, and audio/video conferences. This would truly make it as good as msn. This is what all other linux clients arnt able to do aswell as microsoft... maybe you can :D

[Rodolfo]

Yeah agreed...Emesene has everything that a good client would dream about BUT webcam and voice chat is JUST what it takes to be THE Client, to be a big name and, of course, to be recognized as the greatest chat client on Earth! My opinion: if i didn't need webcam, file transfer service and voice chat, emesene would have beat wlm. no doubt. But wait, we are talking about an open-source messenger client to match windows live messenger's features and i know that the Emesene Team will do that for us! It's just a matter of time, you'll see ;)

Long life to Emesene! Easy, simple, beauty, heavyless.

Aw... I was sad to see this in milestone 4.5... but I understand! it's not an easy thing to do. For me, take your time, do it well, and we're good friends :-). I love the work you're doing with emesene! There were some basic things I needed in an IM for the MSN network, and all are done but this, so you deserve our respect i guess... - avatar for both persons in the conversation window but *not* inside the conversation textarea. you got it. - main window with easy nick + subnick + state changer... done (i actually prefer to WLM!) - customizable emoticons... done! ( maybe a little more polish? nah... it still rocks) - file transfers... (oh.. well... it's on its way soon right?) - video/audio (someday...)

For some reason, when you guys say it will be here in the future, I believe you. When pidgin guys say it, i'm like... yeah, whatever, like duke nukem forever right? So, thanks emesene devs :)

The pymsn devs are planning to implement this as well. You should probably work together to get this job done! http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Pymsn

[anonymous]

Any news about somebody looking at implementing it? This would be a nice feature! :)

Otherwise creating an unofficial plugin would be a great idea, or not?

[anonymous]

This is all it takes to be the BEST msn client!

[rockertux@…]

Why not using part of aMSN code? Maybe it's not necessary to reinvent the wheel...

[anonymous]

Or simply look at it to see how to begin... Please, can someone begin implementing it, only receiving for example? Uploading webcam stream could be added after we can receive...

[anonymous]

Nobody?

Look here http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2008/slides/163-farsight2-lca2008-presentation.pdf and here http://farsight.freedesktop.org/wiki/ maybe can help, i've read that they're developing an abstraction layer for this purpose.

And yeah here there is a library built in december 2004 http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Audio+and+Video+support+status

Sorry for double posting

It is just what we need, we can use version one of this libraries to do it. This weekend i will start implement and test a python wrapper with SWIG because this library is written in C. I will report you new news.

Maybe it is, but it's anyway a start point...better then making it from null :) I hope to help as much as i can because i really like this messenger.

P.S.: Sorry if i'm making an offtopic, but i've made a ticket for black squares as emoticons into ubuntu...can anyone help me? Sorry another time for off topic.

[GTOnizuka]

Here i am another time to give you a useful link about video support for MSN Messenger, get it here http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Video_Calls

Hope it's useful :)

How can it be broken when Pidgin is using it to have the A/V support?

Please take a look at [ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu] the news, June 11 entry, the Mimic demuxer thing. Maybe it helps. Mimic muxer maybe is in the works.
