"third-party Skype client (e.g. to have support in Pidgin)"
Funny because recently the old Skype plugin for Pidgin was re-written to utilize the new HTTP Skype. So now you have a nice client-less Skype chat in Pidgin. I'm certain someone could study it to write their own client.
- zipperhead 11y agoI've been using the HTTP-based skype pidgin client. It seems to mostly work - the only show stopper is that file transfer requests fail silently. I had someone trying to send me a file. I had no idea. It was a little awkward.
- allan_s 11y agodo you mind sharing the link to this plugin ?
- zipperhead 11y agoCertainly: https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypewe... I'm using it from arch, via the AUR package purple-skypeweb-git
