Question

Is there any free opensource (GNU GPL, LGPL etc) Comet Video Chat? (PHP)

I want to integrate it into my own CMS I am creating.

Answer 1

To the best of my knowledge, no.

Answer 2

No matter how comet'ish it's done, you don't want real time video going through your CMS!

A better solution involves XMPP, there are several high performace OSS servers that you could integrate with your web app, and also several OSS clients, some of them can be embedded on a webpage.

if you want to pass all text chat through your CMS, maybe you could pop a video-only channel through XMPP, and a comet-based text chat. the challenge would be making those seamless.... i still think it's easier to go full XMPP, and read the server logs into the CMS.

Answer 3

You could start which the source code of the ChatRoulette Clone, although it's not PHP nor an opensource product (the source code costs $99).

You definitively don't want a video chat app in PHP, unless you've got some million bucks to spend on bandwidth. Most existing products use the peer-to-peer facilities available in recent versions of Flash (so the video goes from client X to client Y, directly, without passing thru your server and without costing you a dime).
