Description Florent Le Coz 2010-09-12 00:29:09 UTC
Description of problem:
farsight2-python is not a dependency of the gajim 0.14 package, but it's required in order to be able to do audio/video conversation.
Since this is the most important new feature of this new gajim version, it should be directly available.

Some gstreamer plugins may also be necessary.
gstreamer-plugins-base and gstreamer-plugins-good, certainly.
Will post a response to this bug once I get an answer from gajim's devs on this detail.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.14-1

Comment 1 Michal Schmidt 2010-09-14 11:51:14 UTC
I left the dependency out on purpose. I did not consider A/V functionality that important. I myself do not plan to use it. So I saw farsight2-python and its dependencies as bloat. Gajim can detect at runtime whether it is available.

That said, you're not the only one who asked me about it, so I'll just bite the bullet and add the Requires. In the future I may look into installing optional features from inside Gajim using PackageKit.

By the way, did you test the audio/video functionality? How well did it work?

In fact, the required gstreamer plugins are dependencies of farsight2-python (thanks to mcepl for pointing out that).
Then, no other dependencies are required to get audio/video working properly with gajim, it's OK with just farsight2-python.

Comment 4 Nicolas Berrehouc 2010-09-20 18:22:33 UTC
I installed gajim-0.14-1.fc13.noarch.rpm and after gajim-0.14-2.fc13.noarch.rpm from Koji but Audio/Video chat isn't available.
Farsight2-python-0.0.20-2.fc13.x86_64 and gstreamer plugins are installed too.

When I check available features I have always "Need farsight-python" for Audio/Video chat and this feature isn't available.

Shall I do something special ?

Comment 5 Michal Schmidt 2010-09-20 18:59:43 UTC
Does this command finish successfully for you?:
python -c 'import farsight, gst'

I'm guessing a dependency on gstreamer-python is missing.

Comment 6 Nicolas Berrehouc 2010-09-20 19:32:24 UTC
You're right, I needed to install gstreamer-python.
Now I can test this feature.
Gstreamer-python seems to be a dependency too.
No need to use your command line.

Comment 10 Nicolas Berrehouc 2010-09-23 10:48:16 UTC
From Fedora 13 : Video can't be send with gajim-0.14-4.fc13 using farsight2-python-0.0.20-2.fc13.x86_64 but receive from gajim-0.14-4.fc14 using farsight2-python-0.0.21-2.fc14.i686
From Fedora 14 : Video can be send with gajim-0.14-4.fc14 using farsight2-python-0.0.21-2.fc14.i686 but can't receive from gajim-0.14-4.fc13 using farsight2-python-0.0.20-2.fc13.x86_64

Webcam with F13 works fine in local with vlc, cheese, ekiga.

Perhaps something wrong with 0.0.20 release of farsight2-python ?
0.0.21 release only avaible from Koji for F14.

Can someone confirm this problem ?
Can 0.0.21 release for F13 be built so as to test ?

I don't know. Have you tried rebuilding the source rpm yourself?

Please file a new bug. I do not want this bug to become a universal tracker for any audio/video related problems.
