skype = bus.get_object('com.Skype.API', '/com/Skype')
if skype:
answer = skype.Invoke('NAME Amarok')
if answer != 'OK':
sys.exit('Could not bind to Skype client')
answer = skype.Invoke('PROTOCOL 7')
if (answer != 'PROTOCOL 7'):
sys.exit('Could not agree on protocol!')
answer = skype.Invoke('SET PROFILE MOOD_TEXT ' + arg1)

Hi,

I'm running with Kubuntu. Your SkypeMood script seems working well, but skype doesn't remember to allow amarok connecting on SKype, as I 've to click on the agreement pop up each time the music changed.

I went to the Public API configuration in the skype option but I can't add amarok in this case, such as Kopete is present.

I check the config files of skype I found Kopete in the config.xml file and I tried to add amarok without success. It's look like this file is regeraneted each time I started Skype.

Thank for your help....

Hi,

I find this plugin very nice. I would like to know though how can I remove automatically the skype mood when amarok has stopped.

Thanks!

Hello, I've just upgraded to the development version of Kde 4.5 and your script stopped working...
There were probably some changes in the python dbus system. Please, can you do anything with this? I really like your script. It is a phenomenal work.

I'm not sure why, but sometimes it does work and sometimes it does not... Hmm...

some people reported problems with kde 4.5 and dbus, as i can read there: (known issues)

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=97899

you can try that mt patch yourself:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37728

there are some comments with urls to patch, also look at the PKGBUILD file how it is compiled.

iam currently trying to get kde 4.5 running to reproduce the problem, but it seems that it is a kde/dbus problem. the skypemood's dbus-part is pretty simple, there is not much that can go wrong as far as phython/phyton-dbus and dbus itself is working.

you can try/debug it with "python ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/scripts/SkypeMood/setskypemood.py test" yourself (this command sould set your mood to "test")

I'm not pretty sure where the problem is. Maybe it has something to do with the Amarok itself. But right now I can't tell because it started working and I even don't know when.....
