SkypeWeb protocol

[SpinalBlood]

Again it seems Skypeweb doesn't work; actually on a new profile it connects, but it doesn't show me any contact...

Netlog is necessary.

[SpinalBlood]

Done (I edited some info such as password and mail account just in case)

This is a general question, perhaps, but I faced it with the SkypeWeb plugin, so I'll ask here...
I'm trying to add Skype to Miranda-NG. I used "Available components list" menu to add SkypeWeb, and I see skypeweb.dll (ticked) in the list of plugins.
But I cannot figure out how to activate / set up my skype account.
There's simply nothing related to Skype under the Network section of the Options menu...

What am I missing?

P.S. I'm using Miranda 0.95.11 build 21249 x64 on a Win10 machine.

Add account via Accounts manager (from main menu).

Thanks, Man!
That did the trick!

Ok the fix was the same as last time, login via web.skype.com and skip those (annoying) security checks. I got confused because actually I did login using the mail instead of the skypename and I ended out login on the "live" profile (like when using the hotmail/outlook website the skype column appeared).
I used the same mail with creating a new fresh skype account but it seems the accounts are unrelated/a completely different thing...

On a side note Web.skype nofifies me this:

Support for this version of Skype for Web is coming to an end. A new preview version is available now for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome with HD video calling, call recording and much more. Try it out


Wonder if it will affect Miranda, or not...

It doesn't work for me too :-(. I've tried to log via web, but there were no security checks (as they were last time this happened) and logging via web hasn't helped this time :-(.

Thank you in advance. I've changed the password.

ladyzaba,
Skype does not accept your password
{"status":{"code":40100,"text":"Authentication failed"}}

But I can log into the web Skype with this. I haven't changed anything, it just stopped working 5 days ago, all of the sudden :-(.

ladyzaba,
just curious: if you open dbeditor++ and remove all temporary info from Settings - SKYPE_1 (registrationToken, ServerName, Token*) - would it help?

No, it haven't helped. But I've solved it the other way – logged in at the web, changed password there, then changed it in Miranda and now it works. I can't figure out why, but it does :-).

looks like it refreshed a password at the server, so it can recognize it now
