Hi

The Python Linux sample code never worked for me (DBus binding errs) which I had to fix myself from sample code from dbus.freedesktop.org.

Once I fixed this I was able to get a list of registered services on DBus ... and Skype (skype-1.2.0.11-fc3 for Linux) wasn't there!!

Perhaps Skype was written for an older version of DBus (as was the python sample code) and hence doesn't register itself on the bus?

I'm on DBus 0.33 on Fedora Core 4.

Has anyone got any sample code using DBus in Mono (C#)?

Cheers!

Hi,

Skype was written (and indeed, has a compiled in version of) Dbus 0.23 (which sub-version I'm not sure, but of the 0.23 era). So far I haven't had a response from the developers as to when a version of skype with DBus 0.3x+ will come out, but it seems like it would be advantagous for them (they get free testing for something they will have to move to eventually) and for us (we get to start developing with it) and for the dbus makers (they get good products tested under the new API).

I'd be interested to know if the developers are likely to release even just a private testing version of skype with Dbus 0.3x+ compiled in. If anyone knows, please say so here...

Thanks,

Mike 5:)

I completely agree with you there - any Skype engineers listening?
