MSNP15

[trv]

I am using both amsn and plugins latest svn versions, and this issue is still here.
It's caused by the Search Contacts plugin, it only happens when this plugin is enabled.

Your contact list appears normally, but on the background there is still the 'logging in' picture that is animating, and also the cancel button (that still works like the normal log out option).

The search contacts field does not appear at all at the bottom part of amsn like it should.

If the plugin is disabled, everything works fine.

Any status o how it's going with Yahoo support (That is adding and talking to Yahoo contacts of course)?  
Or isn't it beeing worked on at all at the moment?

Didn't really find anything more than that it didn't work. I'm just asking since i've actually never had any use for this function until recently and haven't really kept track of what is happening with this particular functionality...

This is probably already noted in here somewhere but switching to MSNP15 will cause me to see some contacts as if they don't have me on their CL. While switching back to default they do have me...

Yahoo support is still very experimental, in someway it works but the code still need to be fixed and refined.

For now i am working most on MSNP15 because it is more important then yahoo interoperability

takeshi81 is not talking about the SVN, but about his local copy, he did the yahoo support and MSNP15 addressbook management (for adding/blocking/deleting/etc... contacts/groups) and he's still working on that. Hopefully, I'll soon have time to review his code and commit it to SVN.

[Trappski]

Thanks for the update guys!
And i can't say i disagree with CL-managment being a little bit more prioritizable so...

[takeshi81]

yes it's almost stable except for some things that need to be tested... After that we'll see if yahoo interop is worth it or not...

[kakaroto]

it's *of course* higher priority.. simply because if you can't add a yahoo contact, you can't chat with him.. obviously :p

Hi,
For the interested, I finally finished implementing the Addressbook management for MSNP15 (thanks to Takeshi for his help with the SOAP requests). You can now add/delete/copy to group/move to group/remove from group/block/unblock a contact, as well as add/delete/rename/block/unblock a group.
That's all there was missing for MSNP15 (and MSNP!6) so now that this works, we can all finally enjoy MSNP15 as it should be! indeed.. I just made it the 'official' protocol for the SVN.. so you can't use MSNP12 anymore if you're using the SVN (unless you modify the code to force it back to MSNP12).
This will allow us to have major testing of MSNP15 as all SVN users will now be using it.. any bugs/issues can now be reported without the fear of me yelling back at them :p
here are the current limitations :
1 - you still can't chat with yahoo contacts
2 - You don't see your 'hotmail' contacts in the contact list

I plan on adding yahoo interoperability sometime soon, and have your hotmail contacts appear in the contact list (via an option view->show non-messenger contacts) as well as add the "also remove from my hotmail address book" option when you delete a user...
hopefully improve OIM support by finally using the Store2 SOAP action (works with MSNP15 only and is more stable) and finally bring back the MSN Spaces support we had before but stopped working (but works under MSNP15)
There are also some other improvements that can be done, mainly for robustness, like destroying any pending SOAP request if we loose the connection, make sure our authentication ticket hasn't expired yet, otherwise get a new one, etc...
hope you enjoy it!

Hi,

Found a bug in Music Plugin (and obviously in new protocol):

Information about currently playing song now replaces your nick instead of adding it after the personal message. Not a big problem, however, as you can untick that specific option in the plugin configuration dialog.

Also, I was wondering if there is a way to downgrade back to the previous SVN revision or edit the code as said above. I would gladly see my hotmail contacts in the list meanwhile you fix it.

EDIT: Hmm, I can see my hotmail contacts in case they log out and back in...

[Daniel15]

I think I see a bug... I see the red X on some contact's pictures (meaning the contact doesn't have me on their FL), even though I'm certain that they've got me. The same contacts didn't have a red X next to them when I used MSNP12.

Information about currently playing song now replaces your nick instead of adding it after the personal message

You're using an old version of the music plugin, upgrade to the latest one from the SVN
Otherwise, there's some lines like:

Code:

if { [::config::getKey protocol] = 11 } {

that need to be changed to:

Code:

if { [::config::getKey protocol] >= 11 } {

Also, I was wondering if there is a way to downgrade back to the previous SVN revision

When you checkout from SVN, specify a revision. The "SVN book" has more information on this: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch03s03.html

Hi,

At first, the MSNP15 doesn't work with 2 accounts (e-mails addresses in @msn.com). These accounts works well with MSNP12 and with windows live messenger. The statut log : status_log.txt .
So, MSNP15 works well with more recent accounts (@laposte.net and @hotmail.fr) --> thanks for this excellent job !

Secondly: Do not offline messages work if the user doesn't already appear online ?

(I'm sorry, I don't speak well English)

I can confirm this too...
Switching from MSNP12 to 15 causes soem contacts to appear as if they don't have me.
Switching back again and they got me again.

@ElCynico: make sure you have the latest version of the music plugin... I don't use it, others reported the problem, but looking at the code, it *should* work.
Also, the 'hotmail' contacts is about your "addressbook from your hotmail account".. you know those emails you have on hotmail, but that are NOT msn contacts... this never showed in aMSN (since showing your adress book from hotmail is new in the protocol), so reverting won't show it... it's a new feature, not something left out. (basically, it's a contact in your list that you can't chat with but you can just send an email to by opening hotmail..)

@Daniel15,@Trappski : vivia just reported the same problem about users appearing as if they deleted you.. the problem is that the server sends us apparently some emails in uppercase, not in lowercase, so this can be fixed quite easily.

@Tipo : thanks for reporting (and with status log!:)) and that's exactly the reason why I made it the default in svn, so we can get issues like that reported! so the problem is this : psf:Redirect
we get redirected to a different server for @msn.com accounts for authentication, so I just need to get the new url and use it instead.. I'll create an msn.com account and fix it...
About offline messages, I don't understand your question :$

EDIT @Tipo, ok, latest SVN version has a fix so @msn.com accounts can work.. I couldn't create an @msn.com account but takeshi helped me with his account+password. It should now work for you.
EDIT2 @Daniel15,@Trappski : vivia fixed that in SVN...

[Tipo]

Yes, @msn.com accounts work perfectly for me now.

Pour les "offline messages", ça sera sûrement plus clair en Français.

Lorsque j'ouvre une fenêtre d'une personne hors-ligne, qui ne s'est pas encore déconnectée, ça n'ouvre pas une fenêtre de "offline messaging", même en faisant "send an offline message" depuis la liste de contact. C'est-à-dire que l'on voit comme titre de fenêtre "contact : -chat", et non "adresse - offline messaging". Au dessus des message, ce n'est pas indiqué que l'utilisateur est hors ligne. Si j'envoie un message à cette personne, j'ai juste une minute après un message m'indiquant qu'il y a eu une erreur dans l'envoi.

Mais si la personne se connecte, puis se déconnecte, là il n'y a aucun soucis.

[kakaroto]

Ah, great!
Thanks Tipo, yes, it was a bug.. it worked fine at first, then yesterday I broke it while trying to fix another bug (when resyncing the contact list after being logged in).. I just had to initialize the state of all users to offline.
It should now be fixed in SVN! Thanks for finding this and reporting it.

<french> Merci, c'etait plus clair en francais </french>
