Summary: net-im/libpurple lacking video-chat support

Description kaltheat 2013-11-06 12:10:00 UTC 
I wanted to use "video-chat" with Pidgin 2.10.7 (libpurple 2.10.7) and couldn't.

I was able to create /dev/video0 with multimedia/webcamd and multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod and use it with multimedia/mplayer.

With pidgin one can choose between 3 input-plugin options:
 - "Default"
 - "Test Input"
 - "Video4Linux"

With "Test Input" I'm able to initiate a video-chat through jabber/xmpp/jingle and I can get a video stream of my opponents webcam.

With "Video4Linux" the video-chat-UI crashes while being created.

If I remember correctly 'pidgin -d' reported that there was a gstreamer-error. I will provide more details on this error, as soon as I can test it again ...

From-To: open->closed

The immediate issue with pidgin was the missing gstreamer-plugins-v4l2 port. 
Other issues look to be 100% gstreamer-related, and not with pidgin.  Please 
open a PR under GNOME.  However, as I said in my follow-up email, it would be 
good to gather some data points of FreeBSD -> FreeBSD video calls to see 
if the problem is with the different Linux/FreeBSD plugins.
