SkypeWeb protocol

[Vulpix]

You know, the funniest (and maybe also saddest) part of this is that the problem was in fact not on MS side. It was on mine!

Check if you are able to ping 'swx.cdn.skype.com' . If not, you may want to remove any firewall rules pertaining to it ( 68.232.34.200 ). It started working just fine for me after I altered the settings of my firewall (and to verify it was really that, I re-added the rule and the problem came back)

It is very strange that their page would say "the problem is on our end" though, when it really is not.

The rule was added by the W10privacy tool thing. It also affects some other things like twitch streams and such, if you let it go wild with the rule enforcing.

I was able to find this by using fiddler and examining any failed connections.

I don't agree. I had the same issues the last 2 days and did nothing on my firewall.

Right now there is a problem, but it's not related to miranda's skypeweb:

It's the same when you log into web.skype.com. The web application will start but it will show you as:

"Not available"

[SpinalBlood]

Apparently I can login to web.skype.com (but I can't see all contacts apparently, maybe only microsoft ones?)

But Miranda Skypeweb doesn't work...

Microsoft is aware of the issue

[SpinalBlood]

It sure is strange that it goes offline during the day, then in the evening it's always working, and back to not working the day after...

[Vulpix]

It is quite odd that the service has such long downtime(s) to begin with. Like what do they need to do? For example right now I can't connect at all, but then it works for 2 days... then again it doesn't for 3 days and so on and so forth. It's such bs...

I do use skypeweb over Pidgin, since it never "really" worked once for me on Miranda and i never had any downtimes for weeks now (i use it daily).. so i dont think its a problem with skypeweb itself.

No, on Pidgin doesn't work often too

[Vulpix]

No, on Pidgin doesn't work often too

I can confirm this, I tested it and it also stops working on pidgin. I was previously using pidgin when miranda's steam protocol was not working well, while pidgin's own steam implementation was a lot better. Now the miranda steam is a lot better and I have no issues with it (thanks @Robyer!). So something is really up with the actual api and it's on ms side I believe.

[billf]

Me too!

I started with Pidgin and switched to Miranda NG for Skype and GTalk. Same concept but I just liked the Miranda NG features better. Yes, I had connection drops with Pidgin too but I've been using KeepStatus, as suggested earlier in this thread, and that has worked well until recently.
Now, as mentioned by others, SkypeWeb just won't connect much of the time so I leave it offline and have to run the standard Skype client as well as Miranda NG for now. It's good to confirm that it's not just me though.

[mida]

have someone tested 2 accounts with skypeweb?

[AnrDaemon]

I haven't heard of that, but I see no apparent roadblocks.
Should just work.

Getting those "file" links from web skype is broken when the contact uses a different language: for example dutch in my case:

Code: [Select]

No, 30.01.2016 14:28:58:
Ga naar  om deze gedeelde foto te bekijkenhttps://login.skype.com/login/sso?go=xmmfallback?( etc etc )
The "bekijken" is connected to "https" which causes it to be a part of the link itself, which in turn causes me to have to manually always remove the bekijken part.

Apparently in these last days it's now working better than before
