I having problem getting twitcam http://twitcam.com to work. twitcam uses shockwave and flash, so you need to use "window OS browser" and install the shockwave and flash plugins. What I done so far: - install Wine - I installed version 1.0.1 which is the repository. (I am using Linux Mint 8 Helena [GNOME].) If you think I shoud use a later version of Wine, yell. - install firefox (the latest version as of 5/10/10 is 3.6.3) - install shockwave plugin from http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 - install flash plugin from http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 If I visit Adove test page, http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ I see that I have shockwave 11.5.6r606 and flash 10.0.45.2 installed. Now I go twitcam's site, http://twitcam.com and click "Broadcast Live" (large red button at the bottom). Login my twitter account. On the left side (which uses flash), it says click here to authorise Flash to access your camera and microphone and on the left side (which uses shockwave), a light blue button says start chatting and there are other irrelevant stuffs. The chat side works just fine (i.e., click "start chatting" and people can chat about the video). When I allow firefox to access the camera and microphone, firefox crashes. - Is the crash due to firefox not being able to access the microphone or camera? Fyi, the camera works just fine for cheese (pure linux software). - Will using a different browser helps? - Will using a later Wine helps? - Is there a different site that I can test the microphone and camera to make sure that is not the problem? - Can somebody try twitcam and see if any progress can be made? Thank you for your help. Sheng-Chieh p.s. twitcam is not in the Wine's application database (twitcam is NOT a program anyway) or has been mentioned in this Wine forum. twitcam was "released" earlier this year.
