Hello

I am using 3 skype 2.5.0.122 on WinXP and API PROTOCOL 2

CONF_ID is still not returned as well as CONF_PARTICIPANTS are not returned neither.

Does someone have an explanation or have experienced the same issues ?

Thanks

Could you please try this example and see what your results are?

I know this is NOT using the API but it is another method to see if the data is actually present, and can be easily used to verify if there is a problem.

Hello , I tried the vbs script you sent me and I had the conf id returned as well as the number of participants.

The Skype API still does not return the CONF ID ...even with the latest skype version 2.5.0.130

The bug was supposed to be fixed since 2.5.0.113 but I still have nothing returned

Any chance you could run msgapitest to see what really is going on in case your code is missing it?

or you could run SkypeTracer2, your choice:

Hello ,

I ran SkypeTracer and on the log, nothing about CONF ID or CONF PARTICIPANTS ...The conference took place but SKYPE considered only 2 different calls as if they were separate.

The API does not return the conf id and now we are sure of this.

The conference test was conducted with
- version 2.5.0.130
- version 2.0.0.107
- version 2.0.0.76

A second test was performed with
- version 2.5.0.130
- version 2.5.0.130
- version 2.5.0.130
same results

The only thing that confuses me about this is that in a prior post you said:

"Hello , I tried the vbs script you sent me and I had the conf id returned as well as the number of participants."

Which, I can't understand, because you are saying sometimes it is there, and other times it is not.

Can you use this to see if the CONF ID shows up in call history?

Hello,

I am sorry if I was not clear:
- conference.vbs works and returns conf_id as well as the number of participants ...conference.vbs use Skype4Com
- My app as well as SkypeTracer don't get at any time the conf_id neither the list of participants and both use the regular SkypeAPI
- As to the page link you sent me, it fails to load skype active x control despite I authorized execution and download of all active x controls in IE6 options panel. And I tried also with the latest ActiveX dll of skype ...

But just try a conférence between 3 latest skype soft and use skypetracer and you will figure out what I experience here.

Thanks Best regards

Well the Skype4COM lib using the .vbs example gets the information for the conf_id by using the API, so there must be a problem with you API request.

Can you monitor the API using the msgapitest or skypetracer program to see what is being past to get the conf_id as the .vbs does? Is your program doing the same?

The ActiveX is working fine in the examples, so what error are you getting when you try? Because the Skype4COM lib is in beta, it is NOT signed yet, so you will need to change IE security to "Prompt" for unsigned ActiveX controls.

Hello , I started a CONF with my 3 skype exe....and ask in SkypeTracer for the CONF_ID : "GET CALL XXX CONF_ID" . I got a correct CONF_ID....so the API works in fact.

But in my application, we always got the skype ID with skype with version <2.5 without asking for it ...So what doesn't work in skype 2.5 is that CONF_ID is never automatically returned by the API as it used to be before....That's the bug ...

What should I do ? always ask for conf_id each time i get a call. ....what happens if i get conf_id on a call that corresponds to a former conf_id ?

Thanks for your help...
