Hello,
I have spent almost 6 hours trying to learn more on my issue with Hangouts.
It seems that quite a few users on the Google "Support" Forums, have the
same access token authorization problem with Google, when trying to
enable the Hangouts account from the Pidgin client.
Curiously, there is not a hint of a solution given anywhere, where I peeked.
After mining the web and reading on the API and the oAUth 2.0 credential
authorization protocol to receive an access code, I am left with very
little to go with. Repeatedly requesting an access code past the 25
refresh token limit per account and per client has adverse effects. I
could not find out _what_ effects those were and how to circumvent them.
I think I have not gone beyond that limit just yet, but I am sure not
going to request one again, before being clear on what the problem is
and how to solve it...
Maybe someone will find the time to nudge me in the right direction.
For reference I am working from a clean Pidgin install after having
flushed it from my Ubuntu 14.04.4 Desktop, including the ~/.purple
directory.
My other plugins are:
- pidgin-twitter (does not appear to be functional as it does not show
in the account protocols' list ),
- purple-skypeweb (works well),
- telegram-Purple (works well).
Cheers,
-ced
