Yahoo Webcam Fixes for Kopete

So i just committed a rather nice patch from new contributor Michael Cole that fixes a few things in Yahoo with regard to webcams and avatars.

You can now accept webcams from Yahoo users and send your webcam to other users. Avatars that are now also downloaded and stored properly.

Michael mentions that the other user doesn't see an notification when you send your webcam to somebody (IOW, they have to request it still) and that avatars only download when they're changed while online.

Either way, it's nice to see some webcam love come our way. Thanks Michael!

  1. what do i do with this na?

  2. so guess i can close my defect which i opened.

  3. I’ve had problems using Kopete with Yahoo. I could connect and receive messages, but my messages wouldn’t reach the recipient. There was no local indication of anything wrong.

    Has anyone else seen this? Was it a known issue that’s now been fixed? Should I try again and raise a new bug if necessary?

    I’ve switched to pidgin because of it, but would like to return to kopete once Yahoo IM works for me.

  4. so how do I get this update. my kopete still doesn’t send or view webcam.
