Flash Player 10.1 and VoIP

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Adding UDP-based RTMFP protocol and Speex audio codec in Flash Player 10 were right moves from Adobe and it allowed us to notice that FP was about to become a good VoIP client. But even with RTMFP capabilities Flash Player couldn’t connect two clients using P2P behind the specific NATs/firewalls, so fallback to server’s relay was required in such cases. With new features of Flash Player 10.1 (RTMFP groups) everything changes, now peers from RTMFP group will help you to do P2P media transfer if direct P2P connection between some 2 peers from the group isn’t possible. If you think a little it will become obvious that FP can be used to create P2P-networks like Skype’s one, root servers will only deal with signaling and will help clients to join groups with peers that can help in media delivery. It can be used in many services. Now we need Acoustic Echo Cancellation support and more advanced video codec for encoding video from webcam (h264, for example) to create web-based Skype.

Hello. As you maybe now Google released first ChromeOS version yesterday. We have tested it and found that Flash Player 10.0.32.18 has been built-in.

I remind you that you can use Flaphone to make VoIP calls to PSTN/Mobiles using any SIP provider you want,  make calls to Skype or SIP, callme widgets will also work in ChromeOS.

Calls to Skype are now available

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Now every flaphone user can make a call from flaphone to skype. You need to enter sip:skypeusername@skype (Example - you need to call skype user with username james - it will be sip:james@skype) while none(global) account selected for outgoing SIP calls and press the call button, skype user with skype_username will see incoming call from Flaphone. You can also use this feature for your CallMe widgets in the same way. We are testing this feature, so we need to have your feedback.

P.S. It will work if you are calling to Skype user who allows to receive incoming calls from skype users that aren’t in contact-list
