Does lipurple media API require Pidgin UI to launch video screen? Without pidgin UI just by using libpurple backend media API's can we launch video screen?

As it currently stands, libpurple handles the protocol actions. libpurple and Pidgin use gstreamer for the actual video leg work by using gstreamer to render/overlay onto a gtk widget in Pidgin.

In theory you could then create a client for libpurple that pipes the video to a file or anything you decided to code.
