16:55 < Robot101> for farsight w/ rtp, so sip or gtalk, the current farsight stuff will work
16:55 < Robot101> if you want msn webcam or yahoo video, those old plugins need porting
}}}

The above is, I think, a vague indication that when the Farsight system went from [http://farsight.freedesktop.org/releases/farsight/ v1] to [http://farsight.freedesktop.org/releases/farsight2/ v2], with a considerable amount of API changes, and the MSN/Yahoo plugins were left behind and have not been ported to the version 2 API yet.

As for whether this API update for those plugins is all that is required to get that support working in pidgin-vv is a question which remains unanswered.
