Hi all, I've finished basic skype and freevo integration. More info (in polish) at: http://www.szosti.eu/. Watch Youtube video.
If you want to install it - follow procedure below. You will need: 1. Freevo installed and configured 2. Skype installed and configured. Special configuration is required wich is described below 3. Skype4Py installed from https://developer.skype.com/wiki/Skype4Py 4. Virtual X11 Server Xvfb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb) Skype client requirements: 1. Skype for linux (2.0). 2. Skype must be configured and tested as stand alone client. 3. Skype must allow connection to its API from Skype4Py. How to do this - below Skype allows connetion to its API from SkypePy: 1. Start skype (you may use your windows laptop to start X11 session from eg. Xming 2. Client must automaticaly login 3. Now, open xterm 4. type: python 5. Execute following commands in python: from Skype4Py import * skype = Skype() skype.Attach() 6. Now look at skype window and accept connection from Skype4Py 7. Close skype Configure skype to run at boot time: 1. Copy all content of directory ./Skype from current user home directory to / (sudo cp -a /home/user/.Skype /) 2. To start skype at boot time, make /etc/init.d/skype file executable, put at least following code inside it: #!/bin/bash Xvfb :2 & export DISPLAY=:2 echo "your_skype_user your_skype_password" | /usr/bin/skype --pipelogin & 3. I could write better startup script but this is not an issue 4. Make /etc/init.d/skype executable (chmod +x /etc/init.d/skype) 5. Run update-rc.d skype defaults 90 to configure /etc/init.d/skype to be executed at the end of system boot procedure 6. Test by running /etc/init.d/skype start (I know, start parameter is not used above). You must hear that skype starts. End installation: Put downloaded skype.py from http://www.szosti.eu/files/skype.py to your freevo plugins directory. In my case it is at /usr/lib/python5/site-packages/freevo/plugins Compile it: python >>> py_compile.compile('skype.py') >>> ^D Configure freevo to use plugin skype. Refer to output of freevo plugins -i skype. In near future, I'm going to enable video from skype which grabs X11 screen and sends it to user. You may watch movies from skype client :) Hope you will find it useful Grzegorz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
