Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

did u unstall all other protocols and just installed msn ? I had the same issue when I had pidgin and extra protocol plugin installed but after removing all of them and just installing msn made it work.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

still no luck?

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

ok i got it working ajamils.

i followed your instructions and uninstalled all addons/pidgin etc then installed just the MSN Protocol plugin 0.7

the following is what i noted

1) I cannot initiate any form of conversation with any of my contacts in any way ...i get a list of my online contacts on my N900 fine, when i click a contact the contacts details appear up showing just the nickname (as per the image file i have uploaded at the bottom of this post) with as i say no way to initiate a conversation with any of my contacts.

2) a contact can initiate a conversation with me and i can then have a conversation with them in text format absoluteley fine

3) if my contact clicks the 'call' button on their msn on their pc I receive on my N900 a phone call alert with my ringtone on my phone - i answer and can have a phone conversation with no video.

4)if my contact clicks 'video' button on their msn on their pc I receive on my N900 a phone call alert with my ringtone on my phone - i answer and i see my friends webcam image displayed very clearly on my phone with audio from my friend. my friend can hear me and see the video of me from the camera on the front of my N900!

So confirmed ajamils ... it does work.
But sadly the MSN Protocol plugin 0.7 alone is not viable as I cannot initiate a conversation with any of my contacts ... I have to wait for someone sat at home on their pc to contact me.
Is it the same for you??



****please note on the picture the words MESSAGE ME ON OTHER MSN LOGIN is because that is a dormant msn account i have which i used this evening to try this out myself. It would normally be the persons status/name there.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

All the IM account plugins have been updated to v0.8 as of a few minutes ago. See if you're still having problems after updating.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

disables repos, which made my lists empty,
then enabled again, which filled the lists back up.
msn protocol plugin for conversations and contacts is still showing as version 0.7???

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

Probably in extras-devel.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

ok.
dont normally do extras devel but on this occasion....

***obviously uninstalled all current msn apps.***

installed MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.8
1) I can now initiate a conversation with any of my contacts

2) my contact clicks the 'call' button on their pc's msn it just rings and rings and rings then eventually it says .. fraaaaanka@sky.com is not answering.

3) my contact clicks the 'video' button on their pc's msn it just rings and rings and rings then eventually it says .. fraaaaanka@sky.com is not answering.

so ... not working!
seems they have fixed the fact you couldnt initiate a contact in 0.7
but
broken the feature in 0.7 that a contact could initiate a call or video with you!

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

just tried 0.8 version and video call no longer works. As for issue with initiating chat with 0.7 version, I initially had that issue but after a reboot t went away and was able to chat without any issue.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

ajamils, you are correct. tried 0.7 again, rebooted, retried and could initiate conversations with contacts and the video chat works.
nice one geezer!

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

fraaaaanka, how did u get the 0.7 version?

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

and how to get the 0.7 version? It did not worked for me because I had the 0.8...

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

Firstly, please don't file bug reports for these packages on this forum. I don't read it, so the bugs don't get fixed. The bug tracker is linked to from the maemo package page.

Next, the package which has version numbers 0.7 and 0.8 is simply the plugin. It doesn't know anything about the MSN protocol. As a result, telling us these version numbers is useless. More useful is the versions of telepathy-butterfly and python-papyon.

The bug about not being able to start a chat with your contacts has been fixed as of telepathy-butterfly 0.5.4 -- see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/24878

Next, I'm glad you've been able to get video calling working, but am sad to see it no longer working. Please give your telepathy-butterfly and python-papyon versions, and logs:

Without logs, I can't tell you anything. You need to get some logs for when it works, and when it doesn't work, and attach them both to a bug and the aforementioned bug tracker. To obtain logs, follow these steps:

1. Install python-dbus.
2. Download http://people.collabora.co.uk/~jonny/debug.py and put on your phone.
3. Disconnect from MSN.
4. Wait 5-10 seconds.
5. Connect again.
6. From the command line in the same directory you copied the debug.py file to, execute "python debug.py butterfly > butterfly-log".
7. Try a video call.
8. Wait for a few seconds after it fails/hangs up/you hang up.
9. Use Ctrl+C on the command you ran on the command line.
10. File a bug with the logs. If a bug has already been filed, attach your logs there.

Hope that helps.

Pidgin 0.8 protocols now include Facebook IM !! works great!! :)

cya!

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

i was trying to add my facebook account... but after i enter my user name and password, and i press sign in... it just stay there and do nothing. did this happen to you too?? thx.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

Hi! ... nope ... i just sign in and it work ...

May be you need to reboot first? ...

i am using Pidgin Protocols only... may be a conflict with other protocols that you have installed?

Cya!

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

I'm having issue with 0.7 as well. Everytime I login a lot of contacts get added to my contact list including the ones that I've already deleted. Even if I delete them again.. they show up when I login the next time.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

Happened for me but I rebooted and then was able to sign in

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

That's why I don't use the "butterfly" (MSN) plugin but Haze or Pecan instead...

There's a bug report on it here...

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

I know butterfly(MSN) is not recommended but it is the ONLY one that supports video call. If Haze or Pecan supported that, I would have switched instantly.

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

this bug has been fixed.. so does is work under PR 1.2?

Re: MSN protocol plugin for conversations and contacts 0.7 issue
 

mine doesnt work after fw 1.2 anyone having the same problem? it can connect but not showing contact and cant send msg :(
