Voice Calling with Psi (PsiMedia)

[zAchAry]

PsiMedia is a thick abstraction layer for providing audio and video RTP services to Psi-like IM clients. The implementation is based on GStreamer.

As of 0.13, voice calling is a standard feature of Psi on all major platforms. Unlike the earlier "Jingle branch" of Psi which used libjingle, current Psi versions use GStreamer.

libjingle seems to be obsolete / deprecated.

UPDATE: June 7th, 2009: As of 0.13, Jingle voice calling is available as part of the main branch. It is no longer a separate branch, and also no longer uses libjingle. See Voice Calling.

... and for the psimedia part then ...

If you are building from source (e.g. on Linux) and want voice calls, you will need to obtain the PsiMedia plugin separately. On Linux, the plugin file is called libgstprovider.so, and must be put in Psi's $LIBDIR/psi/plugins directory. You'll know it worked if "About GStreamer" appears in the Help menu.

To build the plugin and demo program, run:
./configure
make

There is no "make install". The compiled plugin can be found under the
gstprovider directory. An application that uses PsiMedia should have
instructions on what to do with the plugin.

So it can only be easier to improve the usability by providing just that single file in a package.

Code: Select all

install -D -m 755 gstprovider/libgstprovider.so $startdir/pkg/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/psi/plugins/libgstprovider.so
