[mythtv] Myth Video Conference Plugin

[Paul Volkaerts]

This is a little ahead of where I am right now :-)

1. Make it work and put hooks in for interesting things
2. Make it work well
3. Add bells and whistles

I'm on 1;  but I have grand plans e.g video mail, as well as a mix of high
bandwidths to support full screen or low bandwidths for poor 256k DSL users.

When I get (1) going in 2-3 weeks I'll make it available to anyone, so I can
get some feedback.  I was just trying to solicite some early feedback on
whether anyone even cared; so thanks for responding!


Paul

I thought about this after using the video conference on MSN messenger.  I
works a lot better than I remember the CUCME stuff of a few years ago.  But,
as with anything MS, it lacked severely.  You can't fullscreen the video,
its junky and ad infected, etc.  I would hope, ideally, that a MYTH video
phone could show the incoming picture in full screen mode, with the local
cam as a PIP.  An OSD notification of an incoming call while watching TV
would be really cool.  This is already kind of implemented in the caller ID
module right?


Cheers,
Ian
