Mike I think this is a great idea, but I would prefer HTML 5 over flash. It is not quite ready yet on the browser side, but likely will be next year. The NAT problem though is the same since it also establishes an RTP stream, either with Flash or HTML 5, and that is exactly why we are not really interested in Flash. We already have SIP and XMPP server, and do not need also a Flash server. --martin

I'd like to bring it up again here, and leave it in your hands if this is something you are interested in, or not. One problem with remotes is that it can be a bit difficult for some to set up SIP phones. I was wondering if there would be a way to allow for the client to be in the web server itself. When someone connects to the web server portion of sipx, we could have a flash based SIP client embedded. Once configured, perhaps the settings are saved in a cookie which is placed on the users end. The next time they go to the web site, their client would automatically get configured and authenticated and be ready to go. This should eliminate any NAT problems as well since the client would be authenticated locally no? Finally, the user could use what ever they want, a webcam with microphone, a webcam with bluetooth or other mic, etc just like any other flash application. Now, I'm sure some will jump all over me telling me how complicated this would be or how useless it might be but why bother. It seems it would be more positive to see if others might be interested in such a feature by not overwhelming my thread with over the top comments. I have to believe that others would be interested in something like this and that any problems could be resolved one at a time. If sipx doesn't want to do it, that's fine, I can pass the idea on to other projects and see if anyone is interested. I think it's the future, it seems to make a lot of sense. The bottom line is that this would be a very cool feature, and very easy to use for remotes who are using PC's, laptops, mobiles, tablets etc once adobe comes out with a flash version which allows access to mic/camera devices. Just some thoughts I wanted to share. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/
