I also managed to work out how to get the debug output into a file. For anyone who needs to know, you have to completely quit GM, then (under a bash shell on my Linux) run gnomemeeting --debug 3 2 debug.txt which redirects the standard error to a file called debug.txt in the current folder So... attached is the text file which results from that, and I can't see anything obvious. In fact, I can't see anything as the video still doesn't work. Any suggestions from this point onwards? would a higher debugging level help, or just swamp the file with extra stuff which is no use? So close... and yet so far! Cheers Simon West If I understood correctly, the problem is with the Polycom. It receives H.261 video from GnomeMeeting, but it is unable to decode it and displays a blank screen. However, it also shows that GnomeMeeting is only partially connected. So I see two possible problems : - It is unable to decode the H.261 stream OR - It is able to decode the H.261 stream, but something fails and prevents total connection for some reason. What would be interesting would be to have some debug output from the Polycom, as it is the part of the system that is complaining. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\ GnomeMeeting: http://www.gnomemeeting.org/ v_/_FOSDEM 2006 : http://www.fosdem.org SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ GnomeMeeting-list mailing list GnomeMeeting-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list

Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Re:GnomeMeeting not connecting to Polycom
The Polycom is an MGC100 with an H261 / H263 video card, and it does allow full video / audio connection from NetMeeting as an H261 client, but we have to use a complicated setup of two PC's, one running PowerPoint showing the splash screen and outputting composite video to another running NetMeeting with a video input card. We have successfully connected the GnomeMeeting setup to the NetMeeting, so it can't be that far from working. Any ideas on diagnostics so we can find out what the problem may be?

[GnomeMeeting-list] Re:GnomeMeeting not connecting to Polycom
Hi, Some Polycoms just don't seem to work with GM in some situations. We have an FX model and a 512 model polycom. The 512 works fine both ways, but the FX will only connect (as I remember) when it calls GM, not when GM calls it (I may have this reversed). I pursued a solution for a while finally decided to just use the one that works all the time ;) I'm fascinated by your idea to use the image output to transmit powerpoint. Assuming you get the image transmission to work, have you figured a way to advance the slides, or jpegs as I guess you'll be using? It really is a pain to send powerpoint over polycom, so if this works it would be a pretty nifty solution. thanks, morris -- Morris Beverly AV Presentations http://www.avpresentations.com ___ GnomeMeeting-list mailing list GnomeMeeting-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list
