Known problems and resolutions

Black and white

This happens when p2pvc thinks the terminal doesn't have enough colors to display all 256. Try export TERM=xterm-256color or equivalent to get it working.

No connection made

p2pvc does not get around NAT, so you may need to port forward. It uses ports 55555 and 55556 for audio and video respectively.
