Still anyone working on it?

Pidgin tells me all the time "new version available" - same for Pidgin, will the N900 get an update at all?

How big is the chance that videocalls for example will ever work?

Telegram (topic of this thread) doesn't provide video calls https://telegram.org/faq#q-can-i-mak...s-via-telegram

Based on that I think an update to the latest version is needed to solve this problem.

[edit] someone suggested to run the cli app as root. I also tried to run pidgin as root, but receiving messages still resulted in a crash.

Hi folks, I think that the crash problem is related to the check, I mean, the time when other people watch our sended message, and the notification arrives to our mobile.

Is it possible to avoid this check notification in Pidgin?

Thanks a lot.

I was thinking of the possibility of running Pidgin within a script that plays a sound or vibrates whenever it crashes and restarts automatically.
An ugly hack - i'd rather have a permanent and better solution. Currently I am using the cli version.

I have a question, how difficult it would be (for a Dev.) to implement libpurple-telegram to the Maemo Messages (so it can act like a XMPP or Skype or whatever else)?
As i understand, the ui is already there, only a plugin must be implemented.
Wouldn't it be easier than write a GUI for Telegram-cli?

You should ask telepathy-haze maintainers. I have tried but it asks for password and there is no password authentication in Telegram.

Three problems found using purple-protocol-telegram:
1- not in Maemo Conversations, need to use pidgin
2- pidgin crash at check notification
3- stickers arrive as .webp image, that Pidgin can't show

but I think is not easy to fix them.

I have built the latest 1.2.6 telegram plugin (quite a bit of work, actually). It seems to work, but needs testing. The crash should be gone. Stickers should work too.
Please, install both deb packages and report back, if it works I'll upload it to extras-devel.

Awesome!

Installed it - haven't seen issues during installing. Just sent one message but it is pretty late in the Netherlands so don't expect an answer before tomorrow. Will start using it and let you know if it works for me :)

OK - some additional comments.
Works fine - not missed any message. Can send and receive pictures as well. Can't receive / see smiley’s or stickers but I don't think they worked in the previous version too.
Most important thing - the crashes - is solved :)
