LOL at that picture :)

How about the value of having a product that works?

Still doesn't work on Linux + Google Chrome or Chromium, built-in or plugin.

(This is the third or fourth time I've had to post this. Do I need to gift you my thinkpad?)

Have you tried setting your peer assist to allow and camera to allow here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplay...

this problem was solved for most of the other Linux + Chrome users by making the above selection

Also if that doesn't work try disabling the built-in Flash in Chrome and enabling the installed version using chrome://plugins

other than that, yes, give me your thinkpad and ill fix it :)

I did, that's why it fails immediately instead of crashing now.

It really needs to "just work" and in this case, "just work" with a default Google Chrome install absent finagling.

If it doesn't "just work" then it's not solving a problem for me.

The problem to be solved is Skype being irritating. I hate Skype, but right now, it's impossible for me to use your app because it doesn't actually work.

i hear ya - are you in SF, happy to drop by and work out a fix for ya? email me at dmrising - @ - gmail - com

It doesn't work for you. Someone else with the same setup has said that it works for them. I realise it's frustrating but it may be far more of a minority issue than it seems.

Same setup, works for me. I haven't followed any magic special steps though!

problem solved - user had no webcam or mic on their system which when flash was trying to detect hardware would cause the crash - we found a workaround that would fail safely if there are no webcams available. thx @heretohelp for helping us find a fix to this.

Yep, he fixed it.
