Description Francesco D'Offizi 2006-06-27 23:50:07 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

With new MSN Live version if I enable in kopete Export emoticons theme option they can't see anymore any icon. Disabling exporting option they can of course see emoticons they own.
(talking to older 7.5 versions, this kopete option works well of course).
Comment 1 Olivier LAHAYE 2006-07-25 23:16:08 UTC
I confirm the bug with Mandriva cooker kdenetwork-kopete-3.5.3-11mdv2007.0
Using this theme: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=35561
Trying to connect to a Windows Live messenger V8.0.0792.00

I'm behind a nat router (WRT54GS with firmware dd-wrt latest release (v23sp1)
with the following port range forwarding:
 - 6801 - 6801

Works fine with older MSN versions.
Comment 2 Liam 2006-10-10 22:12:37 UTC
Hello,

Can I confirm the bug also (as its still marked unconfirmed).  

Using kopete 0.12.2

Only Windows live messenger friends seem effected.  Have sent animated emoticons to different friends, one (who uses live messenger) complains that the images are just 'blank'.  Not quite sure what this description means, will see if I can get a SS or something, if it'll help.

Let me know if I can help at all,

Cheers,

Liam.

It seemed that my bug report 136274 is the same with this one.
But I cannot mark it duplicated with this.  Could somebody please help with it?

And I have some tests for this problem (described in #136274)
Maybe Messenger Live protocol has some changes?

Comment 6 Pablo Bueti 2007-02-08 19:23:36 UTC
I've the same problem.

Users with Windows Live Messenger don't receive anything when I send an animated icon. Others with MSN Messenger 7.5 does receive them correctly.

Runing Kopete 0.12.3 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 50.1" openSUSE).
Comment 7 Valerio 2007-02-16 13:14:36 UTC
Confirming this bug. Live Messenger users see a white-filled blank box instead of the emoticon-filled box. On kopete 0.12.4 (KDE 3.5.6 from linuxpackages.net Slackware packages)
Comment 8 Ricardo 2007-04-09 05:03:37 UTC
Same problem since Ubuntu 6.06. Now i'm using ubuntu 6.10, KDE 3.5.5 kopete 0.12.3
Can recieve emoticons but can't send
Comment 9 Dimitris K. 2007-04-24 15:50:44 UTC
same on openSUSE 10.2
Comment 10 Ben Jones 2007-05-16 22:40:42 UTC
I have the same problem with Debian package 4:3.5.6-2 trying to send custom emoticons to a Live Messenger 8.1 client. They can send their own custom emoticons to me, however.

I think (but don't really know) that the <msnobj ... Type="n" ...> code may have changed, since the new official client sends Type="2" instead of Type="3" for its own custom emoticons. When this change is made, the official client seems to start a P2P session and sends INVITE...MSNSLP/1.0 stuff, but Kopete doesn't seem to pick it up.

I assume this means the protocol has changed. I do not know anything about MSN file transfers and I lack the expertise to make any changes to the source code myself, but I hope the above information is useful in some way.
Comment 11 Klunki 2007-06-10 21:28:48 UTC
You are right, Ben, the type for outgoing emoticons should be changed to 2 (according to http://msnpiki.msnfanatic.com/index.php/MSNC:MSNObject). I wonder why it is set to 3 at all, as this means "Display Picture".

After making this change it worked for me and the network capture showed outgoing file transfers (I don't know the client versions of my peers though)
Comment 12 Kristjan Ugrin 2007-06-10 21:43:28 UTC
@Klunki: Do you have a patch for svn?
Comment 13 John 2007-06-27 14:08:17 UTC
Created attachment 20981 [details]
A fix for the type number in the msnobj. 

All i have done is change the type number for sending the emoticon. It appears
to work and most people who couldnt recieve emoticons before can now. Please
note that i normally edit my own stuff directly on the source so i rarely do
patches and in addition this patch is against the fedora sources so please
check it and modify to suit the svn version. The paths will almost certainly
need changing but the patch does show the changes needed.
Comment 14 Franklin Weng 2007-06-29 07:55:19 UTC
Well, this patch seemed not worked for me...

Now people still can not receive my custom emoticons, including animatied and static ones.

I applied this patch to the current svn version.
Comment 15 Andrea Briganti 2007-06-29 15:11:23 UTC
This patch works only if the receiver have the same emoticon. 

I think we have to reply to P2P invite as wrote in a previous comment
Comment 16 Guillaume Martres 2007-09-12 16:11:03 UTC
This problem still exist with Kopete 0.12.5/KDE 3.5.7, this bug should be marked as CONFIRMED because it happens to everybody.
Comment 17 Kostas Zarogoulidis 2007-10-02 20:09:16 UTC
It also exists at 0.12.6
Comment 18 Pablo Montepagano 2008-04-08 05:51:45 UTC
Any news on this matter? The problem is still there. I know that most devs must be  working on the 0.5 branch, but this will also affect that as well. Can you take care of this matter?

And also I would like to see this patch: http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=16431&action=view  implemented in kopete as a default.
Comment 19 Vincenzo Ampolo 2008-08-13 18:43:08 UTC
This also affects me using:
Kopete Version 0.50.80
Using KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0)
I cannot see custom emoticons using kde 4.1 and kopete.
If i use the previous one that comes with kde 3.5.9 in kubuntu hardy. All is ok
Comment 20 Nicolas Surribas 2008-08-16 20:26:53 UTC
Same problem here
Kopete 0.50.1
KDE 4.0.4
on openSUSE 11.0
Comment 21 Cyrill Helg 2008-08-24 20:48:48 UTC
Is anything of this partially commited or something? #11 explains strange behaviour of kopete exporting display image instead of smileys!
Comment 22 Matt Rogers 2008-11-15 06:09:11 UTC
We've completely replaced the current MSN implementation with a new MSN implementation which  If you continue to experience this bug after testing the new implementation (which can be gotten from our subversion repository or with the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 release), PLEASE, open a new bug rather than reopening this bug. Thank you for your time and efforting in helping us find and fix problems in Kopete.
