Needs Skype running?

very nice!! the only big downside imo is that skype needs to be running...

I realize there's a technical limitation here, but the whole redundancy issue makes this little more than a gimmick—and not terribly useful. It's well implemented for what it is.

Thanks, it's great ! Merci c'est super !

Great plugin, but like the other users It would be great if Skype does not have to be running.

I do have a problem of it crashing sometimes when I receive a message from Skype. Well to be exact Adium crashes. Adium did not have this issue prior to installing this Skype plugin.

I am using:
Adium v1.1.4
Skype (Beta) v2.7.0.49
Mac OS 10.5.1

BTW: if I need to, how do I uninstall the plugin.

Nice...but I just dont like the way that I have to open skype to use it on adium

how do i make it so that when i start a chat in adium with a skype contact, the chat window doesn't also pop up in skype?

It would be good if it only showed skype contacts and not every number you had stored.

Apparently doesn't work at all on Adium X 1.2b6. Plugin is not visible on the accounts page.

I've problems with this plug-in on Adium 1.2
It simply doesn't work!

I have the same problem. I've just updated Adium 1.2 and my account skype (in Adium) is deleted. I install skype plug-in and nothing…
I'm disappoint.

Yep, Adium 1.2 has killed the plugin for me too.

New version posted (probably have to wait for approval again though before it shows up first) which works with Adium 1.2

That's great news.

. . . except it doesn't seem to work. I've downloaded the new plugin and installed that; then, when that didn't work, deleted the plugin and reinstalled it; logged in and logged out; restarted my Mac; tried with Skype running and without Skype running - and Skype API will not appear as an option in the Add Account menu

I'm now halfway there. I deleted my old Skype account in Admium, recreated it thanks to the latest version of the plugin (Skype API is again an option). . . but it never connects. It doesn't seem to care whether Skype's running, either. Perhaps it's just me. Would be good to know if anyone else is having more luck.

With the 8th jan version no more problems!!! great!

Yep works again tnx :-)

My problem is that the new version of the plug-in is not workin when used with the older 1.1.4 Adium that I am still using. I don't like all the said-to-be improvements in Adium 1.2 so I haven't up-dated. Currently I am using the older version of Skype plug-in (working), but it still crashes. Why can't I use the new one with the old Adium?

My Adium keeps crashing if I did not start Skype prior to connecting. It also has problems hanging it up when I quit Skype. Versions: Adium 1.2 and Skype 2.6.0.184.

I very much look forward to use this plugin on a daily basis, but as long as it keeps my programs crashing it is unusable.

Keep up the good work, maybe this issue could fixed in the next version.

Is it possible to have (as before the last plugin revision) a "skype" group for the skype contacts? Creating a group on adium and adding skype contacts does not work, nor creating a group on skype (2.7) beta and seeing of adium skype plugins inports it.

Sadly still not working with Adium 1.1.4. Are you planning to have a look at back-compatibilty, or you gave up?

I've come into a problem with Adium probably caused by this plug-in.

The ticket is at http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/9044

I did the workout you had described. It did not work though. I did not do the backup (silly me) and although I reversed the workout, Adium did not see any of my accounts. So what I did was I upgraded to 1.2 - all the data were back. I don't like some of the changes in 1.2 They're slowing me down. But will need to get used to. The newest Skype plug-in works dead on now. Good job! Thanks for help, anyway. Keep the good work! Regards.

I love the idea of this plugin and the implementation is really nice. I've run into a few bugs, but the developer has been very responsive. I hope all those who promised to pay the bounty are sending the money to Eion.

genba posted a reference to a problem which I am also experiencing. s/he referred to a Trac Adium ticket number, but I thought it might be helpful to pull the information into this list of comments.

The Sype API Plugin is producing odd behaviour with file tranfers - both transfers in and out.

Each time we get two file transfers, the second of which seems to function normally - though Adium actually reports that the transfer was cancelled by the receiver even though they didn't.

However, the first transfer item in the window just sits there saying that it's waiting to start.

If you try to quite Adium - which is the only way to get rid of it as the x stop icon doesn't functiion - Adium will report that a file transfer is in progress and ask for confirmation of the quit.

This is a shame as we can't actually tell which transfers are actually going through and if the one that just sits there will do so indefinitely and whether it is actually taking up bandwidth trying to transfer.

I have resorted to transfer by email again, as this plugin is too useful to want to disable it. If the transfer issue could be solved, the plugin would be perfect!

May consider a bounty payment...

I'm using the latest Adium Client (1.2.3 r22688), Adium Skype Plugin (12 Feb 2008), and Skype Client (2.7.0.257) on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165 PPC) and after connecting and authenticating through Adium, Skype crashes. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

Hi, your Skype add-on rocks now! It's really good. Though I have one practical thing that bugs me a lot - when I have a call from Skype, Skype's own po-pup appears, then it quickly desappears, and Adium's pop-up appears. This is very very frustrating because it's confusing. And Skype's own pop-up has more options (you can send call to voicemail), so why doubling the pop-up menu? Why not leave Skype's own or create a setting for us to choose? When I have lots of phone calls it may be really annoying. Please leave Skype's pop-up or at least set it as an option. Besides that bug, it rocks!

Oh dear - it seems that Adium 1.2.4b1 doesn't recognise the Skype plugin (Mac OS 10.4.11). The plugin is in the Downloads folder where it always was, but It works perfectly with Adium 1.2.3 (apart from the double file tranfer issue).

So, back to Adium 1.2.3 again I guess.

Any thoughts?

When I log in, adium notifies me of every one of my SkypeOut contacts have come online... this is very annoying and fills the whole screen. Is there a way that this can be fixed?

Thanks Developer.

this is a minor bug, but the icon spacing is off in the menus. In the above image you can see it as "Skype API" isn't left aligned from the same spot as other protocol names. This bug is also present in the "Status" and "File" menus.

Skype plugin now working again with Adium 1.2.4 - but now I get the Skype window popping up every time i send a message to a Skype contact via Adium.

Hi I'm using Adium 1.2.4 and the Skype-API. Although I enabled access for assistive devices I get asked everytime if I want to allow access or not. What can I do?

Hi! I have a problem when I launch Adium (1.2.5b1): the program freezes after launching Skype. I don't experience the problem if I launch Skype manually before launching Adium. I'm I the only one experiencing the issue?

Btw thanks for the wonderful plug-in!!

Dockless is a nice programm to make a Dock icon disappear while the app is runnig-this way you still need skype to be runnig, but it'll look like it wasn't. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/mor...acosx/18195

Is there some way to group skype contacts like icq/msn/etc. contacts? As you can't add skype contacts to apple's adressbook...

When I log in, adium notifies me of every one of my SkypeOut contacts have come online... this is very annoying and fills the whole screen. Is there a way that this can be fixed?

Anyone read these? Or better yet, have an idea about it? hehe. :)

With every update the Skype plugin becomes more stable and gets new convenient features. Nevertheless, since about two weeks when I start Adium with activated Skype-autologin, Adium launches two instances of Skype. Sometimes it launches one but creates a new dock icon for it instead of using my one. Has anyone else the same bug? (Adium X 1.2.5 and latest Skype plugin - 30 Apr)

I'd like to say that I really enjoy using this Xtra. It's really nice having all my contacts in one app, instead of multiple chat clients. Thanks for throwing this together :-).

I've noticed a problem with contact statuses. When a Skype user disconnects, it shows their status as "Offline with Voicemail". When they come back online, their status still says the same message. Is there a way to update a contacts status when they come back online?

Also, I had a couple of previous Skype chats that seem to display very weird topics. These chats were started in the Skype program itself, and later carried on in adium. They seem to show a topic that looks like $skype_username/$abc123. I haven't tested starting a topic in adium, but it definitely happens on existing chats.

I've attached a picture showcasing both problems.

http://skitch.com/invalidusrname/m3...pm/contacts

I still have the problem with Skype crashing and reopening repeatedly. Also, I tried making a group called "Skype" in my Adium contact list, but it never sticks between program restarts of Adium itself.

I'm using Mac G5/PPC dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.11. Adium v1.2.5. Skype v2.7.0.330 (7385).

It works great! All you need now is for when you type a certain string to the person it calls them using the Skype API...omg that would be awesome. good job anyways.

Hi again, I've got one question: why does Skype open automatically whenever I open Adium but not choose to connect to Skype using the plug-in? I think you really need to choose the "you have an option" way, instead of actualy forcing things. I don't like that Skype opens up when I don't want it too. I think that Skype should be opened only when you connect to Skype using plug-in, not immediately after you open Adium.

It mostly works great, but ever since Leopard, Adium crashes about half the time on startup when the Skype plugin is installed:

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. No crashes since installing the June 17 version and the annoying thing about two Skype sessions opening when you start Adium seems to have disappeared.
Great job, I really like your plugin.

Since june 29 with the update of Adium #1.3.5b it looks skype plug in its not working any more and crashing when started with
Adium. Any solution?. Thanks and a terrific plug in by the way

Somehow not all of my Skypecontacts are now in my adium list. Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong or is the plugin not working?

hello - somehow skype does not autolaunch - i have tried adding the setting setting name='skype_autostart' type='bool' 1 /setting to my accounts.xml but that didnt fix it. any clues? thanks

Have a problem with creating a "Skype API" Account out of Adium after installing the plug-in.
First, started Skype. Secondly, Adium.
The step where you type in your user data didn't even appear.

Anyone has got an idea?
Thaks in advice!

I try a down-grade to Adium 1.3b9.....

After upgrading to the latest version from your website (today) the groups ended up not working.
When I rearrange Skype contacts in Adium to groups other than the “Skype” group they stay there until I relaunch the application. New groups are created in Skype and contacts are rearranged there, but they don't stay arranged in Adium. When Adium is relauched contacts are back in the default “Skype” group. So, basically, syncing back to Adium from Skype doesn't work on launch.
Already tried removing and adding back the account in Adium.
Skype is 2.7.0.330, Adium is 1.2.7.
How can I resolve this, hmm?

This version does not work in new Adium v1.3... :(

Great plugin. Now also stable on MacOSX (had no more crashes for a long time now). It would be great if this plugin would work with Adium v1.3.

Yep. This is my decent vote for SkypePlugin in Version 1.3!

I loved this plugin hope to see it working with Version 1.3

Aargh. It doesn't work with Adium 1.3! Aaaarrrgh.

You can make the current version work with Adium 1.3:
Open skypeplugin package and edit the info.plist file. Following strings have to be there:
AIMinimumAdiumVersionRequirement = 1.3
CFBundleVersion = 1.3

Hope that will help...

don't work :(

the same thing :(( skype icon appears in accounts list, but don't work.

I edit the file still no luck. Just my 2 cents.

I've tryed to modify the file info.plist.file but without results.
I think that we've to whait a new Official Skype Plugin, or come back to previouse version :-(

How can I open the skype plugin to edit it? at the moment I get two comments, when I try to open the plugin:

- the first one said, that the plugin is installed at the right position

- the second one said, the the plugin can't be open

What can I do?

HELP!

ty, erterte - works for me!

to edit info.plist: contextmenu -> show package contents
after editing, move your edited skypeplugin to another place (e.g. desktop). recheck that there is no skypeplugin in plugin folder(s). doulbe click it to install the edited moved file. then restart adium.
hope it works.

Here is the info.plist file modified. Is it correct now ?

After double click for the installation Skype Plugin, the problem with Skype is still present.

If there is anyone that have resolved this problem, please post the correct info.plist text.

Tnx.

open it with list property editor, there u can't do anything wrong i guess

ok html tags are omitted here. so just do it like the rest in info.plist
the titles should go into "string"-tags and 1.3 into the "key"-tags

CFBundleVersion already exists in original file.

sry, got it the wrong way :D
title -> key
1.3 -> string

This is my info.plist at the moment - what should I change?
Thanks for your help to open the file!

do it with the property list editor:

1 info.plist -> contextmenu -> open with -> property list editor
2 change value from bundle version from 1.0 to 1.3 (double click on 1.0 to start edit)
3 click on add item - Paste AIMinimumAdiumVersionRequirement left and type 1.3 right
4 save file and exit editor

That worked.

I've modified info.plist file but now is impossible to create my account Skype into the program Adium (like "fausto")
The problem isn't resolve.
Edit the file info.plist file isn't enought.

Any new plugin correction??? I will appreciate, anyway I will be trying the whole day how to fixed.
Thanks to all.
Fausto

Hello, is there a workaround to use this plugin with the new Adium 1.3? Unfortunately the plugin won't load and is disabled. Of course I hope the author will publish an update soon, but meanwhile maybe there is a way to make the two work.

Or is there a fundamental technical difference in Adium 1.3 which needs a plugin rewrite?

Any news - please post here!
Cheers

I was trying but nothing yet, lets wait till someone can help us with any news!!!
Fausto

Problem solved, I just click on file, then connect to a guest account and choose Skype API and it is working again perfect, thank you very much for the plugin.
Fausto

Good news, it is working thanks to the help of "gummy", we are run perfect with this

Yes, I confirm that is all right !!!

But to do this I've installed a previous version of Adium, then applied the plugin not modified, then upgrade Adium to 1.3 version and in the last step applied the plugin modified.

In this way Adium works correctly very good !!!

Thanks to all Adium member Forum.

The same way I did it and it is working now, let see with the new Adium Update!!!!
Thanks to Eion for the nice and usefull plugin.

There should seriouly be a new post notification over the email.

Absolutely not working in 1.3 or 1.4 (1.4, svn).

Skype Plugin for Adium 1.3.x DOWNLOAD:

http://extratorrent.com/torrent/1445065/

I downloaded the torrent.....

But when i try to add the skype account in adium (after successfully installing the plugin ), the print dialog pops up! Whats that?

Works for me with 1.3.1. (Actually I'm using 1.3.1b1)

Is there some way to get this working without using a guest account?
It's really annoying to have to re-add every time you start Adium.

PROPERTY LIST MANAGER?

Hi there. Sorry to be so ignorant, but what is a property list manager.
I can only open the info.plist file with text editor.
Thanks.

PS excellent plugin by the way...I'm very much missing it now that it doesn't work.
X

ALTERING INFO.PLIST IN TEXT EDITOR

Worked it out.

just add this line:
AIMinimumAdiumVersionRequirement
1.3

underneath this line:
CFBundleVersion
1.3

then install the plugin.
simple

Any chance to get a 1.3.1 compatible version soon? Thanks!

eion: take your time. the project is open source, if people want the plugin fixed, they can recompile it themselves.

Doesn't work links... :(

YEEESSSS!

finally a version that works with adium 1.3.1

thankyouveryveryverymuch

eion: thanks a heap! Please accept my donation of a few kiwi $$ as a token of gratitude.
hope all goes well with the family.

Per

Hi! Thank you very much for the Skype Plugin! But in this version there semms to be one little bug. Normally you see the groups Skype and Skype Out and you could move the contacts into other groups. This time, if the contact uses no other protocol, after a restart of Adium the two groups are always back with the contacts in it. The only way to move my skype contacts is to merge them with exisiting other protocols. Hope you can fix this in a following version. But please keep up the good work!

Vanilla-Gorilla

Nice Plugin :)

Great plugin :)
But is there any chance that you will add a way so that Skype quits with Adium, or even a "Quit Skype" option? It would help to make it feel more Adium oriented and the user could also hide Skype from their dock if this was done.

Theres a bug in privacy settings for Adium:
Skype account is always set to "allow anyone". Changing the level doesn't work. After restart Adium, the privacy level is again "allow anyone".

Hi Eion! Thanks a million for this plugin. I've installed it yesterday and I've fallen in love immediately. Having all my contacts and chats in one application really helps on my messy desktop. While I don't have heldausberlin's problem I've encountered the same the problem as Vanilla-Gorilla. And, yeah, spartin92's suggestion is great: Having Skype quit automatically when one quits Adium would be awesome. But don't get me wrong here: I'm a happy user already!
Cheers, max

Hi,
Thanks for the skype plugin ... I have been using it for some time now and it worked perfectly for me ... +H on skype and thats it ... but I have updated Adium to1.3.2 version and it has dissabled the plugin :( ... any ideas as to what I could do?
Thanks a lot once agiain.

It does not make sense if you need to run Skype too.

is it possible to change the skypeout contacts status to "mobile" instead of "available"? I tried messing with accounts.xml but am lost in how to do this.

Still a great plug-in, but I found a bug in multi-user chats:

I can create new chats and invite users. But if friends (using original skype) do so and invite me, I recieve their messages but don't see them in a multi-user chat.

Example: I'm chatting in a private chat with friend 1 and in another private chat with friend 2. Those chats are in separate Adium tabs. Then friend 1 creates a multi-user chat and invites me and friend 2. Now all of us are in this multi-user chat, but I don't see that in Adium. I can only send separate messages to friend 1 and friend 2 in the private chats. If friend 1 posts a message in the multi-user chat, I recieve that message in our private chat window. So I can't see if a message from one of them is adressed to me only or to both of us.

@Eion: do you think, you can fix that? That would be great, because multi-user chats are very useful. Once you have invited a group of people into a chatroom, you can recall them anytime.

what about Version 1.3.2 ??? Is there a support for that???

nice plugin! i have a question.
whats about the groupchats? can i add them to my contactlist or how to handle them?
i had 4 chats in skype and now no one is shown..

Hey, nice to see there is a new update! But I still have the same problem. If I try to move the Contacts from the Skype Group into my Friends group, after a restart the Skype Group is back on my contact list. It still only works to merge contacts. Hope you can fix this behaviour in the future version. Keep up the good work!

Hi! I like VERY MUCH this plugin but I have a problem: I'm using the 25 Sep version of the plugin and when in Adium I change my status or my mood theese changes are automatically made also inside the Skype windows. With the next two versions of the plugin this doesn't work anymore.
I think these feature is AMAZING... is there a reason why it doesn't work anymore? Or is it just a bug?
Thanks for your help and again THANKS for this GREAT plugin!!! :D

I love this plugin, but I noticed this:

I'm using a second partition to store my programs. So Adium and Skype are not on the system's partition. I know, this plugin will automatically start and hide Skype after you start Adium. But it seems like it does not do that if the programs aren't on the system partition. :)

I also really like the plugin BUT with the new 21Jan version the Status Problem is still alive.... as redaemn said, in the september version it was no problem to change the skype status from adium.

And another point... is it possible that the Plugin check the Skype Status of my buddies more frequent, because when they change their status in Skype it takes loooong time to appear in my adium window.

it still is one of the best plug-ins for Adium and for the first time ever I have major issues:
I am on OS X 10.5.6, Adium 1.3.2 and Skype 2.8.0.324 (BETA), everything was working fine until 2 days ago,
at first Adium didn't show Skype chat messages anymore and now it goes haywire, switching back and forth between
showing the Skype contacts and not showing them, any ideas?
I can send you my system logs since they have some reoccuring lines like:
"Jan 28 14:25:04 Niemalsland [0x0-0x4a64a6].com.adiumX.adiumX[21026]: ** (process:21026): CRITICAL **: purple_status_is_online: assertion `status != NULL' failed" and "Jan 28 14:19:06 Niemalsland [0x0-0x496496].com.adiumX.adiumX[20711]: Message received ERROR 106 Invalid PROP" and
"Jan 28 14:19:06 Niemalsland [0x0-0x496496].com.adiumX.adiumX[20711]: Message received ERROR 105 invalid chat name"

I installed skype (2.7) and have been using it well. I installed Adium 3 weeks ago, starting using the AIM, MSN, Facebook, it works great. THen I added Skype plugin to test and used it for few times. Due to redundancy and duplication of chats both in skype and adium, I decided to remove Skype Plugin from Adium. So I uninstalled it by going to Xtrasmanager->Plugins-> deleted the Skype Plugin. THis resulted into deletion of skype plugin from Adium, but now it shows all my contacts on skype to be offline. I then removed the adium Account->Manage API Client and removed from their as well but it still shows me all my contacts on skype to be offline. I am using Max OS 10.5.6. I uninstalled Adium and Skype and reinstalled it and started skype, all my contacts still offline. I couldn't figure out anything, and then I reinstalled the Skypeplugin on Adium, re-ran Adium, authorized Skype to allow Adium connections and there u go, my contacts are online now. THis is temporary but I want to remove skype plugin and resolve the above problem. Please help.

Nice job on this plugin, works great, thanks very much. A small inconvenience, would it be possible to get rid of the endless

Skype send message PING
Message received PONG

lines going into console.log? Not a big deal just makes hard to find messages from other apps :)

need skype running at the same time? useless.

not for me. skype is my phone system, so its always open.

wait a minute... does this make it possible to make the phone call through adium as well?

Is it possible to set the Skype status (Online, Away, Invisible) from the Adium menubar icon menu? For me it seems like no connection, Skype status doesn't change by the Adium setting.

when I receive a chat message, I receive it in double, on from adium, and one from skype.
is it possible to set up only ONE chat box?

hum, ok, i will have a look, just another thing, each time a reboot my computer, skype ask me if I allow adium to use skype. Can I allow it definitively?

ok, I still have a problem, I just test to hide skype command+H, my friend send me a message, I heard the sound in skype that I receive a message, but the message don't appear in adium, to see it i have to clic on skype and open my friend conversation...

sure, where can I found it?

anyone else not like the default skype icon? i made an alternative you can download on my deviantart: http://jasonrayner.deviantart.com/art...-115225309#

incoming skype messages do not appear in adium but only in skype. strangely, messages sent through adium to skype contact are delivered (and they appear both in adium and skype)...what's wrong?

I have the same problem as benja85 and amau96. Both Skype and Adium are up to date. I've sent you those logs.

works fine with the beta. thanks for your effort in developing this plugin!

updated to current version (1. Apr), but still can't change Skype's status from Adium; using Skype 2.7.0.330 and Adium 1.3.3

Hi! I updated to 8 Apr version with Adium 1.3.3 and Skype 2.8.0.438. Now changing Skype's status and mood from Adium works!!! :D
I just noticed that when I try to set a busy state in Adium skype goes off-line and Adium crashes... this could be a bug :P
Anyway... this plugin ROCKS!!! :D Thank you BigBrownChunx!!!

The plugin sometimes sends messages to the wrong people, although I haven't been able to figure out why. The messages in the adium log are then to person x and in skype log to person y. Maybe it has something to do with the number of open message sessions in the backgrounded skype.

Hey great work,

After the Adium 1.4b1 Update and the new multiple contacts feature I had my contacts all over the place. A combined contact in the place where it belongs as well as in the skype group.
To get rid of that, and have only one contact in the list again, I moved the contact from the skype list to the group where it belongs, which has the plugin telling skype to move the contact into a non-existing group. This causes the contact to vanish completely from skype as well as Adium.
Is there any way to get around that, except moving all my contacts which are combined w/ skype into the 'skype' group?

Maybe an option in the plugin to turn off telling skype of contact moves, would help.

On a mac running the new beta version of skype (build 2.8.0.659) and Adium v1.3.5 and tried out this addon. Unfortunately the buddy list doesn't update with the skype individuals, and I'm wondering if its because I'm using a beta version of skype.

Hello,
I have to say thank you very much for this plug-in, it makes my messaging much easier and better to hold the overview.

I started my Adium after the update and a skype error occured: it told me, that skype was not running. Before the update of the plug-in, Adium started skype at the same time automatically, that was (in my opinion) much better, because I had to click only the adium button to connect to all my messengers. Is it possible to make it working that way on my computer again?

I have the same problem like Philip0190, there are some place to download a previous version of plugin?

The latest plugin crashes every time. Anyone else who has this?
Yesterday afternoon it all worked, but all of a sudden, it crashed and wont start since.
Log says it has something to do with the buddylist.

The Version from 23Jul doesn't crash anymore, but no contact from skype shows up in adium. The preferences dialog shows that the skype account could not be connected even skype works perfekt and is connected. I think the support for the release version of skype 2.8 is not done with the lastest update. I hope this will be fixed soon. i don't like the skype user interface.

i get messages both on adium and skype, how can i solve this? i would like to have only the adium window, not also the skype chat window.
thanks

I don't know why when I open adium skype opened for duplicate... Only some times...

Skype plugin for Adium 1.3.6 appears to be broken - does not authenticate with Skype

I can't seem to get the skype chat window to not pop up when I start a chat in adium. Is there a setting name I can add to the xml doc to get the skype chat window to hide?

Great Skype interface! I only have one problem though. When I log on to skype, my contacts are not grouped in the adium buddy list. Instead they all show up in the offline group, even when they are online. I can drag the skype contacts into any group I want but once I close Adium and restart it the contacts will not stay in that group and are reset to being in the offline group every time. Is this just a part of the plugin or is there a way for me to fix this?

Couple of issues with 1.4b9 and Skype 2.8:
1) no group was created for my Skype contacts
2) The status is wrong

How can I help you debug this?

Hi everybody, I installed Adium on a fresh install of Snow Leopard and when installed this xtra for Skype (Skype working) Adium tried and tried to connect but it couldn´t, however skype was running without problems.
I reinstalled snow leopard MAC OS X again and tried to find this xtra but it is not present in the search results.
Today I tried to download the xtra and the link is not working.
Is there any problem with this xtra and Snow Leopard?

PLease somebody help.....

Skype error: "Could not connect to skype process. skype not running?" http://skitch.com/two123/nbenq/adium-error

Skype is running (of course).
Mac OS X 10.6.1 - Adium 1.4b9 / 1.3.6

Any idea?!

Question After i started using the skype add-on i am no longer able to use the original skype, (the contacts all seem to be off line) I would like to still be able to use my skype application from time to time, is there a way to still be able to do that? I even tried to Delete Adium but after signing on to skype my contacts were still all signed off line. thanks for any help !!

Hey! I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.1), and the Nightly Build of Adium (for IRC access), and every time I open Adium with the Skype plugin, I recieve the following error : http://pastebin.com/f2085cbe1

I've tried rolling back to an earlier version of nightlies, and that still does not solve my problem- any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey people. Has anybody been able to compile the plugin from source. I want to modify the plugin, but I'm not even able to compile the current source.
Anyone with more luck than me?

Skype Error (on the Adium preferences)

Connecting: Authorizating (0%), after a little while it says "Error: Could not connect to the Skype Process. Skype not running?" Reconnecting in 3s... never gets connected.

Skype is running, this behavior started when I say yes to the upgrade for skype (now I've 2.8.0.722), when the problem came out, I upgraded to Adium 1.3.6 to see if the problem gets resolved, but the problem persists.

Mac OS X 10.6.1

Any hint on how to resolve this issue?

thanks

my friends started a groupchat in skype.
this groupchat tab now keeps reappearing.
I closed and exited skype and adium restarted my computer.
All that didnt help.
It reappears randomly - very annoying

I've installed the SkypePlugin and it looks like it doesn't work. It shows up in the PlugIn-Manager but nowhere else. No skype contacts, no error messages, regardless if skype is running or not. Should there be any options/preferences for this plugin? If so, where?
I tried to find information about how it should look like when the plugin is running, but i couldn't find any. As a suggestion for the readme-file or your website: It would had saved me quite some time, if it were mentioned somewhere, what is expected to happen after the installation of the plugin (i.e. what changes in the interface/contact list)
I renamed my Adium2.0 directory to start over with a clean profile, but it didn't change anything with regard to the plugin. I deleted the plugin from the profile repeatedly and reinstalled.

Adium-Version is 1.3.8
Skype 2.8.0.722
Snow Leopard 10.6.2
Plugin-Version should be from 15th of November
I'm running out of ideas here, can't even determine, if this is an Adium- or a plugin error (or a user error...).

help would be very much appreciated

I get a crash whenever I try to change what group a contact is in. Would this information be useful to you? Let me know what your preferred contact info is and I can send that off.

I've just been so happy as I saw
15 Nov:
* Finally fixed groups
But even if I completely reinstall the Plugin, the "Skype" group in my contact list is deleted as soon as I restart Adium.
Has anyone got an idea how to fix that?

Adium-Version is 1.4b15
Skype-Version is 2.8.0.722
Snow Leopard 10.6.2

hey. first of, GREAT work. thank you big times.

i got it working almost perfect. skype usually gets loaded by an app created in Automator with Applescript code to close the annoying contact list popup after every start.

How difficult would it be to "modify" (i guess recompile) the plugin so it wont start the original skype.app, but instead starts my loader app. (auto-start skype feature)

launcher is located at /Applications/skypelauncher.app :)

anyway :D thanks again

I always use skype trought this plugin now :) i leave skype hide. but it would be nice to have an option "send file" like "call" or "send sms", to send files trought skype without opening it! :)

I love this plugin thx.

Thanks for a very, very handy tool. I realize Skype does not really like people replacing their API but your plugin gets me 90% of the way to a unified UI and that is awesome.


Having a few issues here (Adium 1.3.10, Skype 2.8.0.722, OS X 10.6.2, 20091114 plugin build)

Status seems to work for online/away and custom messages, but breaks for manually set 'invisible' and with automatic 'away' after idle (Skype still shows me available, but XMPP status is correct.)

Every 2-3 times I start Adium, it fails to start Skype unless I choose 'always allow this application to use Skype' and then forgets that soon after.

If someone sends me a file via Skype file transfer, a window pops up with every Skype file xfer I've ever done and no indication of what is new.

There are some conditions (can't quite nail it down yet) where I get both a Skype and an Adium popup and no matter how many times I minimize the Skype chat, oth pop back up when the next message comes in. + H seems to stop this but it can get very distracting.

Thanks again...

Updating to the 20100120 plugin build seems to have fixed the manual status issues - invisible now works, but if my machine auto-idles the Skype status stays available.

Also a new artifact: When I set a custom status message in Adium, I get a Skype 'Mood Message' alert and a popup in Adium with my Skype username postpended with a random alphanumeric string.

Now we just need a button or something in Adium which will cause Skype to launch a video chat. Just one little command, makes all the difference....

First off, really great Add-on. :)

Unfortunately I can't get the group chats to work properly. They don't open by themselves and they don't show the conversations I missed like they do on Skype. The group chat essentially behaves like any other 1on1 Chat, opening as soon as someone sends me a message, but not before. Am I doing something wrong or is this feature just not implemented yet?

this is an awwesome plugin. I hid skype completely and made it my 'main client'
---
can I get the november one though? I need groups ^^

Hello,
Today I've updated Skype (v2.8.0.851) and the plugin can't get a connection :-(
Is it a known issue ?

For anyone who's still upset about having to have the program open, I've come up with a fairly decent interim solution to make it *appear* as though Skype chat (text only, obviously) works seamlessly and exclusively within Adium.

1. Grab a program called Dock Dodger from here: http://foggynoggin.com/dockdodger . This app allows you to hide any program's menubar and Dock icon.

2. Go into Skype's preferences and turn off all of your in-app sound notifications (otherwise they'll double up with your Adium-based ones)

3. Use Dock Dodger on Skype and restart the program. Without the Dock icon the easiest way to access it is through Spotlight, Quicksilver, or another launcher program, though of course you can do it the old-fashioned way by going to Applications also.

4. Install this Adium/Skype plugin featured on this page. Restart Adium.

5. Voila! When you first launch Skype, you can just use Cmd + H to hide the chat and buddy list windows, and from there on out you will ONLY see/hear them in Adium, and only see the Adium buddy list.

Sorry about the double post before. Dunno how that happened.

Anyhoo, I was just wondering if there's a way to prevent the Skype group from continually being recreated every time I start up Adium?

I too just updated Skype and it looks like it broke the plugin. No connection is made. It just spins and spins. Anyone else?

I found this in one of the above posts... If you are having issues with connecting after updating Skype, do the following:

1. Close Skype,
2. Delete the following files:

~/Library/Preferences/com.skype.skype.prefs
~/Library/Application Support/Skype
~/Library/Caches/com.skype.skype

3. Open up Skype and log in. Once you do this, all should be good.

Quick question i am running the latest version of everything on snow leopard. when i receive a message for skype, i get two chat windows, one in adium, AND one in skype, ow can i keep the skype window from popping up.

ROOTJKSHFOEIZNGIOEOP

What the heck????

I cannot see my Skype group at all, and when I try to delete them from this group Adium crashes. I am so disappointed, I dont know what to do. Everytime I hear "software just works" I want to smack someone over the head can someone please help me??

I am on Snow Leopard,

macbook pro 15" 2,66 GHz
Adium 1.4b17
Skype plugin
MSN plugin (also troublesome)
anything else you need to know?

Echo to caliguy, albeit not with their apparent degree of frustration. When using the Skype plugin, my Skype contacts are listed as members of that group: ROOTJKSHFOEIZNGIOEOP

That particular group does not show in my Contact List, the contacts appear to just be "floating" within the list. It also is impossible to move them to another group, either by editing the contacts' information or by drag-and-dropping them into a group - Adium either doesn't commit the change or crashes. Also echo the behavior of crashing when trying to delete from this group.

Also reporting a significant performance hit to Adium when using this plugin version. The program becomes unresponsive for seconds at a time, without an overt cause. Presuming these are update intervals for the Skype API?

Q: When blocking a Skype contact, will this just block the contact or report it as spam as well? (The latter or a checkbox to choose would be cool. :-)

Why is it that it does not show when somebody is typing to me?

if skype contact has multiple contact, can we add in ability to make the skype call on the other numbers? it currently works on skype but not on this xtra api.

I keep having problems with your Skype plugin. It worked fine for quite a while but today it only seems to crash Adium or make it run so slowly that its nearly unusable. It just gives me this error -> Error: Could not connect to Skype process. Skype not running?
I can definitely confirm that Skype is running when its giving me this error so I don't know what is going on.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the plugin a few times, as well as my Skype application, but the problem persists. Any idea what might have gone wrong or what I should try to do to find out? I'm kind of at a loss at this point...

Kudos on the plugin when it does work though. c: Very handy!

SkypeKit is coming - http://developer.skype.com/public/skypekit

It allows apps to build skype functionality without the need of running skype. Is there a plan to use this to develop a new plugin? :)

This is the first and only extra I have installed. It does exactly what I want it to do. Thank you very much.

So when skype was starting up after adium told it to, The access window came up and usually it auto accepts after 3 seconds or so, but this time I pressed enter before it disappeared. I don't know what my enter button did, but now Adium hangs every time I try to connect to skype. Skype opens and everything, but the contacts don't show up and Adium is very slow until I can get up to Cancel Skype login.

Is there a way I can reset the permission so that the window comes up again?

Every time I start a Skype chat through Adium both the Adium and Skype chat windows pop-up. I cannot find any options to disable the Skype chat window. It is really annoying and very frustrating. Excellent plug-in except for this feature.

This plugin works great, but I was wondering about the ability to close skype when I close adium, so I don't have to close both applications. I tried adding an event in adium, telling it to run an applescript when I disconnect. The applescript I wrote is just "tell application "skype"; quit application; end tell" and the applescript works when I just execute the script but for some reason adium won't run the script when I quit the application by using cmd+q? Possibly because adium doesn't register a "quit" as a "disconnect"? Help anyone?
