New AVChat 3 build (800, May release)

Monday, May 10th, 2010

New features:

  • Better audio quality (Speex codec now used by default).
  • Users become idle (by default after 1 minute of no activity in the chat, this value can be changed from avc_settings.xxx):idle1
  • You can now control the volume for each audio/video stream in particular and mute or go fullscreen with one click:volume-control
  • You can now change the color of the text chat area background (edit style.css, white by default).
  • If the user denies access to his webcam/mic the [Start My Webcam] button will show up again.
  • You can now drag windows by clicking anywhere in them (not just on the title).
  • Better ghost users detection (the users list attempts not to show the ghost users, fix for the IE issue on the standalone version)
  • vBulletin 4 compatibility

Bugs solved:

  • Some issues with writing Unicode characters in the text chat logs
  • Issue with UI being scrambled sometimes when streaming was turned off completely
  • Issue with user item side menu sometimes disappearing when the user being clicked was in the lower part of the users list.
  • Issue with the external users/rooms list not being updated and not having special characters escaped
  • Absolute number of users in external file (instead of teh sum of users in all rooms)
  • When sorting by cams/mics the groups that form are now sorted by username!

How to update your installation:
