Re: [ubuntu-uk] Openfire
As for choice of server - if you get tired of Openfire I couldn't not recommend the one I work on, Prosody. It's in the repos :) Matthew can hardly be considered an impartial judge, as he works on Prosody. I however do not work on Prosody, and can be considered impartial: Prosody is the dogs. Trivial to set up and configure, and in my experience bullet proof. I also believe it has pretty high performance and low resource requirements, but since my instance only had 5 users, I am not able to give a particularly exhaustive analysis... (but it did easily fit into a VM with only 112MB of physical memory that was also running Apache, MySQL, Postfix and Dovecot) As always chaps, thank you for all of your advice :-) I'll check out Prosody too!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Openfire
Just for anyone interested. There are Windows clients out there supporting Video over the Jingle protocol (well, none I found anyway!). There are a few for *nix systems though. The only one I found that came close was Gajim which supports video in version 0.14. Unfortunately it looks like the resultant .exe that the developers have tried to produce using py2exe has a problem.

Thanks, Chris I thought that you were looking for Ubuntu Linux client solutions. I doubt if there will ever be a Windows port of Empathy as it is part of the Gnome project. I you do come across a Windows Jabber client that supports AV, preferably for free, I would love to know so I can get my brother to install it.

Jabber \o/ What I'd like to do is use any old Jabber compliant client with the video handled by the client. I have Googled around this but don't seem to be able to find any definitive answer. The Openfire Red5 plugin as far as I know (I've never used it myself) is non-standard so I don't think it will work with any client other than their own (Spark). The standard Jabber voice/video protocol (Jingle) is server-independent, and should work with any client that supports it. Popular clients I know support it are Empathy, Pidgin, Psi (might be voice only...), and Gajim. Support in many of them is relatively new, the latest Gajim with support may not yet be in the repositories yet for example. Pidgin and Psi both support Windows. Psi might be voice-only at the moment, I haven't tested it myself. In theory Jingle-capable clients shall also be able to communicate with Google Talk clients when Google update it to use the latest version of the protocol, but we'll have to hold on for now... As for choice of server - if you get tired of Openfire I couldn't not recommend the one I work on, Prosody. It's in the repos :) Good luck, Matthew -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Only in the same way as you. Jabber and video isn't that well integrated as yet and there isn't a dedicated client that does that apart from maybe Google Talk.
