Hi,

I was completely unsuccessful with the video chat in the previous versions of
papyon+butterfly. So yesterday I updated these to to the latest versions,
papyon 0.5.4 and butterfly 0.5,15, and gave it another try.

Now I can see the other side but my webcam stopped working right at the
beginning of the session (initially when it is trying for establishing the
connection, I could see my webcam working and my live image being displayed).
We could also hear each other. So the audio seemed to be working ok. The only
missing thing is that the other side could not see my webcam.

In addition to that, the quality of the conference was very low. It got very
frequent freezes of the audio and video. The client on the other side is a
windows XP machine, with the latest version of MSN. To verify things, I
rebooted my machine into Windows and tried video conferencing from there. The
quality of the video conference was much better (and of course, the other side
could see me).

Unfortunately I forgot to save the log file. Next time I will save and attach
it here.
