It is still proprietary.

if (Skype.license_type == "proprietary" && Skype.linux.architecture != Pandora.architecture) Skype.Pandora_port_possible = false;

Damn :/


Well i wouldn't use it at all, but most People don't use Jabber or ICQ (anymore)...

You can use Pidgin for instant messaging with a lot of networks (Skype is not one of them). For video and voice chat, I don't know about it since I don't use it, but Linphone works on the Pandora.

I got to know Pidgin through the Pandora and use it on every system now.


I love Pidgin but have yet to try Linphone.

Personnaly, I'm using the website imo.im. the skype chat is working (and perhaps audio msg? I didn't tried..)


It's the best solution I found to use skype with pandora after lots of research

I really didn't think about that and did not even know, that there is a browser version.


Thanks!


Hmm, i don't know, if i should give them my password and the privacy-agreement on this site does not look very nice.


Isn't there an official browser-version?

Imo appears to have a potentially Pandora compatible Android app on the play store. Can someone test if this works with Notaz Android.pnd please?

 

[TrashyMG]

I tried it a while ago with Notaz's Android PND, Skype Launches, can text chat but voice calls do not work. It dials but the receiving end never gets a call. Skype for Android just had a recent update, I'll try it again.

 

[MarioPandio]

Cool, could you check if this works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imo.android.imoim in addition to the updated Skype for Android please TrashyMG?

 

[TrashyMG]

The newest Skype release seems to Hang on login.. which was worse than the previous version.


Imo seems to work, however when trying to use the microphone to make an audio message it didn't work, it in fact caused some odd audio crackling over the speakers and didn't go away until I shut down android.

I think there is some issue wtih the audio drivers or audio config of the microphone on the Pandora Android version. Not only skype hangs, basically everything that uses the microphone fails.

No. Its now owned by the king of no open source software loving mongaloids. (MIcrosoft)

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Was owned a while ago, and even if the NSA spying stuff is now totally public, many ppl are still using skype... Human stupidity...

 

[ghostpatch]

I have high hopes for Tox. Anyone tried it out yet?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Never heard of !

 

[ghostpatch]

Tox is an encrypted peer to peer VOIP and messaging programme for Linux, Windows, OSX. It is open source but still under development on GitHub
