Do you have a imorpoxy log you can send me that shows what was going on at the time of the crash? Did it crash on exit or on Disconnect or was it during a conversation? Stack trace lets me suspect that a mutex is used after the mutix object has already been freed, however as the Stacktrace unfortunatey is incomplete, I need further information. Jus tturn on logging, try to reproduce the crash and send me the log please.

The Imoproxy engine has built-in support for typing notifications (see ImoSkype_Typing in imoskype.c), however as I'm currently not aware of any Skype API Feature that supports this, I cannot send Typing-information out to imo.im.

Hmm, I guess this one is a bit hard to reproduce as imo.im is working most times here.. Damn :-P

Hmm, I guess this one is related to the Skype plugin itself at it is not processing the error messages about "not implemented" correctly.
However I wasn't able to observe this problem with Skype plugin 0.0.0.45 (I'm currently giving it a try, even tough I have good experience with 0.0.0.41 as you also observed).

However on my home machines I never had the problem with the same setup. So I'm suspecting it's some kind of threading problem. I now changed the granularity of my Mutex, maybe this helps? I updated the Debug-Build, can someone test it and tell me if he is still experiencing the problem with this build?

I am afraid skype plugin is still sending some garbage to the proxy.
I've assumed it's because of the eset smart security but after disabling the firewall filtering it still shows in the log.
After this is written to the log skype plugin has nothing checkmarked in its status menu. I assume it's not online nor offline.
Clicking online or offline causes nothing new written into the log.
Here's my version info
Do you think I can rather use this debug version? I think you've uploaded this very same version to the fl also.
Sorry that I am not sending complete logs. If you need them I'll send them via pm next time. I have a few examples here:

Code:

Connection from 127.0.0.1:4614 -> Connection: 764
764< 
Imo2S_Send()
764> ERROR 2 Not Implemented
Closed connection 764

Code:

Connection from 127.0.0.1:4438 -> Connection: 784
784< GET USER styrinity SEX
Imo2S_Send(GET USER styrinity SEX)
784> ERROR 10 Invalid propery
784< 
Imo2S_Send()
784> ERROR 2 Not Implemented
Closed connection 784

Code:

Connection from 127.0.0.1:1053 -> Connection: 1208
1208< 
Imo2S_Send()
1208> ERROR 2 Not Implemented
Closed connection 1208

Code:

Connection from 127.0.0.1:4438 -> Connection: 784
784< 
Imo2S_Send()
784> ERROR 2 Not Implemented
Closed connection 784

Edit:
I am also getting crashes like piciok but my log is different from what he's posted so I am getting more and more confused.

@piciok perhaps you would like to remove those logs because I and perhaps some other people already know your skype password.
It can be easily googled also.

Hello,

-pv-: Would you mind to try the current Debug build? I extended the usage of the mutex to the receiving thread, this should prevent the plugin from sending and receiving at the same time. Maybe this helps with the probem that garbage is received...

Piciok: Hmm, that's strange.. Does the crash also happen if you start with Skype set to offline or if you disable the usage of the proxy in the Skype plugin (so that the plugin engine doesn't get a connection)?

Hello,
I've updated to the latest version (from 31 dec). Then on Miranda-im startup I have seen skype connected, skype contacts were populated and then got this crash report.
Subsekvent restarts have such a garbage in the logs.
Unfortunatelly I haven't saved the log from the attempt when MIM crashed.

Code:

Connection from 127.0.0.1:1124 -> Connection: 784
784< 
Imo2S_Send()
784> ERROR 2 Not Implemented
Closed connection 784

Also sometimes I am only getting

Code:

Imo2sproxy:Loop(Start)
Connection from 127.0.0.1:1935 -> Connection: 768
Imo2sproxy::DispatcherThread()
Imo2S_Login(mysecretskypename, mypassword)
Imo2S::Dispatcher_Start()
Imo2S::DispatcherThread() start
768< SET USERSTATUS ONLINE

Edit: I think it's better now anyway because after several restarts I am finally logged into skype. I am not restarting Miranda-IM too frequently so I can more or less use it.

No, when proxy isn't loaded it doesn't crash.

**-pv-** · 2 Jan 2010, 10:04 PM

@piciok Sorry for this... But Leecher was asking you to set skype protocol to offline or disable proxy settings in skype protocol plugin settings and then restart miranda. If I understood it correctly he is trying to workout whether the imo proxy plugin alone crashes or it only crashes when skype protocol plugin connects to it on your machine.
I apologize if I have missunderstood it.

**Piciok** · 3 Jan 2010, 9:34 AM

This is what i've done. Now Skype plugin alone connects to local Skye and that works fine. Offcourse Imo proxy is checked now but due to Skype plugin using local Skype it doesn't do anything. And no crashes.

Two things:

1. Displayed names differ from that displayed by Skype - Skype displayes "Name Surname" and imosproxy displays "Name" only. It'd be nice if it would be configurable or at least display in the same manner Skype does.

2. Sometimes imosproxy has problems with users which have URLs in their status. For example: { "buid": "radek-satnet", "status": "http://satnet.pl -> Canal+, Cyfra+, Polsat Cyfrowy, Telewizna N, Telewizja Na Karte, HD Channels. PROMOTION!!! Cyfra+ full + HD for 12 months - 779$/519â‚¬ Cyfra+ full + HD for 24 months - 1099$/749â‚¬", "primitive": "offline", "group": "Skype", "alias": "Radek Chabrzyk" } is displayed as "y" only.

Today I faced a series of Miranda crashes and self-closing in connection with imoproxy.dll + Skype 0.0.0.41. I guess this was related to "video_capable" message somehow. I have mailed leecher the crash logs.
