Ekiga hardware compatibility issues

[sohil86]

Hi,

1) Is it possible to connect any IP camera as the source of video input instead of webcam ?
2) Is it possible to recieve a video stream via RTP/RTSP as source of video data ?
3) What exactly needs to be done if I want to implement (1) and (2) ?
4) I am getting the below given error in open MCU. Can someone please suggest some work around for the same ?

[root@EICPU1065 ~]# openmcu -c -n -d --video -u sohil --defaultroom sohilshah
All output for OpenMCU is to console.

Hoping I am not wrong in my answers:

I think not.

I think not.

For video input:
- look into ptlib code
- or, better for us, look into the gstreamer code in ekiga

For video stream RTP/RTSP, I think you should look into ptlib and opal
libraries.

openmcu is not maintained by ekiga developers.  Use
<opalvoip-user@...> instead.

However, looking into the output, it seems you cannot write into
/var/run directory, but this is strange, as you are root.
