Hello Community, hello Purism!
If you have a little time and interest, please join to testing my Tox client development.
It’s named Yet Another Tox (yat).
It is based and fully supports the toxcore2 library, currently developed Tox protocol reference implementation.
amd64 deb binaries can be installed on PureOS netbooks/laptops.
aarch64 deb binaries can be used for L5 or Liberty Phone mobiles.
I’ve succesfully tested 1vs1 Chats, Group Chats, Audio and Video calls in variants:
yat ↔ yat, yat ↔ qTox, yat ↔ utox, yat ↔ Antox.
The quality is really good, no lags, delays, scratches.
(There is chance for Full HD.)
You can import your Tox ID profile from qTox, uTox, Antox or other Tox client.
The builds with GTK interface (as one of the build options) feel comfortable enough in Purism ecosystem.
And a little help is needed.
I’d tested Text Messaging, Audio and Video calls. The application uses GStreamer as multimedia backend. Everything is OK on my laptop (Debian GNU/Linux amd64), but on L5 only text chat works. It can’t setup video camera as it provided by /dev/video{0,1,2,3}.

Of course, I’d also tried autovideosrc filter instead of v412src or libcamerasrv. It only works on desktop GNU/Linux. It does nothing and freezes on L5:
gst-launch-1.0 autovideosrc ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! \ videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! videoscale ! \ video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! autovideosink

I have to ask you what I could missed.
And is it possible to approve my account on https://source.puri.sm? I’d registered it several weekends ago. Could I then publish my app to repo, wiki or somewhere else?
Thank you for your attention!
