I have asked for the current position with MS Live audio/visual calls on #papyon. I was told that the current problem is with the proprietary codecs that MS Live is using.
These are the WMV3 video codec and the Siren audio codec (see http://imfreedom.org/wiki/MSN:AV). This explains the 'Can't establish video stream' message I get. I don't think these codecs are available in the gstreamer plugins packages (good, bad and ugly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to telepathy-butterfly in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657453 Title: Can't Establish Video Calls on MSN Status in “telepathy-butterfly” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy When I try to establish a video call with an MSN user, I can see my webcam, but not the other user's.
