[opensuse] Strange problem with Hangouts video
I'm trying to use Hangouts video chat on my desktop system. It's openSUSE 13.1, with Chromium and the Hangouts extensions. When I try to do a video chat, the camera turns on, but I get no video. The same camera works fine in Firefox and Skype. The same configuration on my ThinkPad E520 works fine. Any idea where I might look for the cause of this problem? I have reinstalled Chromium and extensions, but no difference. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Instead, why don't you both report to the mail list admin? The address is in the headers. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

I just checked and camera is checked to allow all, on the desktop and ask when site requests on the notebook. changing the desktop made no difference. However, one thing that did make a difference was switching the bandwidth to "Medium" on the desktop, but "AutoHD" works fine on the notebook. Since Hangouts only supports up to 720p, I guess I can live with this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I just did some more checking and that Medium is in fact 360p, not 720. So, on the same computer, I can run AutoHD or 720p in Hangouts on Firefox, but only Medium or 360p on Chromium. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
