Voice Service plugin

[pescuma]

CAUTION: THIS IS AN ALPHA STAGE PLUGIN. IT CAN DO VERY BAD THINGS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

This is a service to provide a common user interface for voice calls to protocols/plugins that support it.

For it to work, protocols/plugins need to support it. By now, only a mod of JGmail does that (to check it out, look at http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?p=113763). Also, a change in Skype is already at SVN.

Many thanks to Angeli-Ka for creating the icons.

Hello,
while we have proper threat for this plugin I would like to ask if you are also planing to add audio device manipulation to this or protocol plugins have to do this seperatelly. If the answer is yes then common codec should be also added to voice service and protocol plugins can really concentrate on protocol implementation. I am not a developer you know :) but hopefully people are curious too and some can also support the plugin in their proto plugins :)

[YtseJam]

So I guess an obvious question would be: can this new service plug-in (blessed thy be, pescuma!) potentialy allow for voice chats using MSN given an implementation?

[-pv-]

answer is also still the same. this only provides user interface. nothing more. In my previous post I was asking about future plans. MSN is currently being worked to be compatible with WLM 8.1 and then maybe anyone will be willing to create a cam support. BTW here is an opensource MSN client clone which already supports webcam. I havent tested just googled it. So you may like to check it.

Yeap, this plugin only provides a miranda UI, allowing protocols to concentrate on features and not in UI.

About audio manipulation/codecs, I don't intend to add it here, because i think each implementation will use then in a different way. But a lot of then are compiled as dlls in jgtalk, and devels can use that it they want.

A last thing, i'll try to add a dialog to select default hardware for in/out, but it will probabily only return a string that the protos will need to handle in any way they want.

PS: If someone that is developing some other voice protocol wants me to add some of the above in vs, i can do that, but i just don't see a use for it now.

Cosmetic bug:
The clist_modern frame for "Voice calls" could collapse/expand on single click, not double, as the icon is a "plus" that expands on single click.
Whet there are no calls, it occupies excess height when expanded.

Latest official version (at the time of posting) crashes Miranda 0.8 alphas on exit. When we both have time, Ricardo, I can provide crash logs and whatever else needed. None of the VC2008-dependant builds (posted in the Jingle thread) loads on my system. :-(

I have to say that I'll have time only next year...
All my plugs are kind of in a hold right now...

Sorry for waking up the 'sleeping beauty', but I got errors trying to compile VoiceService today:

D:\miranda\trunk\miranda\plugins\_voiceservice\fra me.cpp(53) : error C2039: 'height' : is not a member of 'tagCLISTFrame'
../../include\m_cluiframes.h(118) : see declaration of 'tagCLISTFrame'

There seems to be a problem with union members, although clist projects compile just fine.

I get the same error while compiling MyDetails, by the way. Sources are updated.

D:\miranda\trunk\miranda\plugins\_mydetails\frame. cpp(297) : error C2039: 'height' : is not a member of 'tagCLISTFrame'
../../include\m_cluiframes.h(118) : see declaration of 'tagCLISTFrame'

[EDIT]
After a long time, I got this fixed. It was a bad m_cluiframes header. :-(
