Zingaya offers forwarding to SIP and landlines/mobiles in Free plan
Monday, August 16th, 2010There is no reason to use flaphone callme subsystem now, because you will have forwarding to SIP and to landlines/mobiles in Zingaya Free plan in addition to Skype forwarding. Zingaya offers better calls quality and additional features. In Free plan your widget still has only 1 line available, for more lines - check Standard, Advanced or Custom plans.

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010As we mentioned before callme feature had to be detached to the whole new service. Now it’s done. Please meet Zingaya . Zingaya is a new webservice and it’s only about click-to-call widgets. It has a lot of features which makes it very advanced in comparison with old flaphone callme subsystem: multiple lines support, UDP transport, echo cancellation, calls recording, voicemail and many others. For now 3 plans are offered, one with calls to skype only is absolutely free. If some specific plan is required you can always submit your request and it will be reviewed. Servers are installed in different parts of the world and new UDP-based protocol support reduces latency and provides with the best quality. Widget now can call up to 3 numbers simultaneously. It’s the best click-to-call solution for your site and it’s worth your attention.

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010CallMe-widgets will be detached to the new service
Friday, June 11th, 2010CallMe-widgets concept was a very good idea, we received a lot of feedback and decided that this subsystem can be detached and form the whole new service. All I can say now - this service is about to launch and it will have a lot of new great features our users asked us for. We also worked on technology a lot and you’ll see UDP-transport support, echo-cancellation and many other interesting features in it.

Monday, June 7th, 2010Apple announced FaceTime - video call system is built on open standards like SIP, H.264 and AAC, so it’ll work with other video calling apps as well. The problem is that H.264 and AAC aren’t open standards at all… But let’s wait and see how FaceTime exactly works. Maybe we’ll be able to call from/to flaphone from/to iPhone 4G.

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010After Google has bought On2 there were a lot of talks regarding the future of VP8 video codec and finally Google open sourced it. Kevin Lynch (Adobe’s CTO) told that Adobe would add this new codec to Flash Player. Let’s hope they will add encoding capabilities as well, because Sorenson codec is very-very old one and we need something more contemporary for realtime high definiton video communications.
В записи нет меток.AEC tests. Part 2.
Thursday, March 25th, 2010We’ve spent some time testing Speex AEC wrapped in SWC through Alchemy and finally have few points about that:
- Speex AEC is working well, but in Flash it’s hard to use it, because of async nature of all SampleDataEvent calls. Although in few tests we saw it working, in real life it won’t work because of big latency and variable time between SampleDataEvent calls.
- New flash player 10/10.1 audio features - playing audio samples and accessing audio samples from microphone will work only for non-realtime applications
- Now it’s impossible to get audio data from RTMP audio stream and put it back to RTMP audio stream after it’s changed (applying AEC filters)
So even having access to samples on AS level it’s impossible to implement client-side AEC for Flash now. There are 2 options: wait until Adobe adds AEC to flash player itself (best solution, but unknown feature release date: Jobs is right about Adobe, they are lazy), implement server-side AEC (very complicated solution, won’t work for new flash P2P capabilities).

Monday, March 8th, 2010Adobe has informed that they are working on AEC support in Flash Player and it will be available later in the next release after 10.1, but we don’t want to wait another few years. In FP 10.1 we got access to microphone samples and playback samples and it makes possible to use some AEC. Although there are a lot of problems (only 44KHz playback mode) and async events firing our first tests showed that it actually works, but still have to solve some minor problems and adjust AEC for better quality. Prepare to have up to 40-50% of CPU load when AEC is working, but for most people AEC is worth it.
