I hope I'm understanding all this properly. I have a jabber client which does the audio video thing and I want to include some sort of discovery system to find out if a contact also supports the same features.

Is it then recommended that I use this "TINS" that peter millard linked to at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hildebrand-xmpp-sdpng-00.txt ?? There are a number of capabilities I'd like to check for, the ability to display jpegs, play mp3 files, play swf files, have access to a camera, have access to a microphone, maybe a few others ....


I do have a working example of a client that can handle audio/video/mp3/jpeg/swf files but aside from checking to see if someone is using my client I need a way to tell what types of media they can handle. Is this "TINS" going to handle that? Or am I better off looking elsewhere like the "Session Description and Capability Negotiation" referred to in the TINS document?

Greg.

I'm glad this is idle chit-chat on my side and I don't have to pick a
protocol ;)

SIP has momentum on it's side: a lot of companies are producing SIP
products today.  (same could be said for H.323)  It's cool to see XMPP
showing its flexibility  by negotiating streaming interactions, but I'd
worry that it'd be yet another way of slicing the same problem.

That said, more protocols=more options and let darwinian principals
decide the outcome :)  (that is unless M$ or such imbalances the
equation with cash)

BTW, I should put some meat in the post:  Which XMPP clients support
video/audio streaming?  Any open source ones.  Inquiring minds want to
know...
