Re: Reconnecting

[Eion Robb]

Hi Phil,

Looks like you're using an older version of the plugin.  To be fair I
haven't released a final version yet, but there are nightly builds that you
can use from https://eion.robbmob.com/libskype.dll instead.

The settings in the newer version look like

RE: Reconnecting

Ok, I took a look at this, and now I feel even stoopider. I can’t find any “alt 
login” checkbox. I see the empty checkbox, but Account/[the Skype 
account/Modify Account/Advanced shows:



Am I in the wrong cave?

Hi Phil,

 

There's an updated intermediate cert for the Hangouts plugin, that the Google 
servers will sometimes send.  You can download it from source on 
https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/src/default/ or download the 
latest version of the .exe installer (assuming you're on windows) which has the 
intermediate certs bundled.

 

For the Skype plugin, you'll want to follow the flowchart 
https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb#issues - but the 
secret sauce is to turn on the "use alternate auth" setting the advanced 
account settings, which bypasses the whole "Magic T" thing.

 

Cheers,

Eion

In any case, I often go to a machine and find that it has disabled my Hangouts 
account. I know how to re-enable it, of course, but would prefer not to have 
to. I see no way to tell Pidgin to retry more times, or for longer; am I just 
missing it?

Then there's the Skype "Failed to get magic T-value", which I also get 
randomly...

Any suggestions appreciated.

All pidgin does is to pass on whatever you provide to the server. It
doesn't care what the user and password are. You need to contact the
people who operate your server.
