well, my ICQ contacts all have an ICQ symbol as avatar, not their
"real" avatar.

PSI 0.10 ...

Have you set your icqPort to 5190 instead of 5280?  (see related bug in the bug
tracker, id 158, Buddy icons don't work on port 5238)

Posted by guest at 2006-02-20 07:51:50

yes, icqPort is 5190

Which revision is this in?  (you indicated that this was from SVN)

Posted by guest at 2006-02-21 15:06:24

The transports' revision is 148

Posted by jadestorm at 2006-02-21 15:15:04

hrm.  well nothing changes in r149 or r150 0to make this work better. 
Would you
mind dropping me a note on jabber and we'll take a look? 
daniel@jabber.vorpalcloud.org  (please note that I may not be able to look
at it
immediately, but go ahead and add me so we can try to work out a time to play
with it)

Waiting on a response from the guest.

I have the same problem. No other transports are affected, and I'm using port
5190. Here's my config.xml:

<pyicqt>
<jid>icq.devzero.co.uk</jid>
<spooldir>/etc/jabberd/PyICQt</spooldir>
<pid>/var/jabberd/pid/PyICQt.pid</pid>
<mainServer>0.0.0.0</mainServer>
<port>xxx</port>
<secret>xxx</secret>
<lang>en</lang>
<encoding>utf-8</encoding>
<icqServer>login.icq.com</icqServer>
<icqPort>5190</icqPort>
<disableXHTML/>
</pyicqt>

Are you running the debug log?  Do you get -any- avatars?  I've been seeing a
lot of odd behavior with icons that the python imaging library doesn't
appear to
like.

Posted by nightwalker at 2006-03-11 14:24:54

hmm... I just discovered that I buddy Icons from some clients, although the
pics
appear relatively small. I'm not able to figure out why some work and others
don't but I thought that it might have something to do with the Jabber size
restriction? Is something like that already implemented in the server or PSI or
is that still "just a JEP" ?

Posted by guest at 2006-03-11 15:44:32

that I buddy? that I receive, sorry, must have been on crack ;-)

Posted by jadestorm at 2006-03-11 16:13:15

*laugh*  no problem  

Well, the "real" restrictdions are actually on the AIM/ICQ end. 
Jabber's restrictions aren't enforced from what I've seen.  They're just
recommendations I believe.  Anyway, OSCAR requires that the image be less than
or equal to 64x64 and can't be a PNG and has to be bigger than ... I think it's
15x15 ...  it's very restrictive and annoying.  ;D  I have definitely seen some
images not work very well.  I'm not real sure what the deal is with that.  I'm
beginning to wonder if the python imaging library works very well.  I'm
wondering if I should offer a "use imagemagick" option.  I know for a
fact that imagemagick works well.  It just requires external system calls.  =(

On PyAIMt, I can see other users avatars, but not set one. On PyICQt, I can't
see any avatars, and I can't set one. On both transports it seems to be setting
the default, overriding Psi's avatar selection.

PyMSNt doesn't have this problem, and it uses PIL too..

Posted by jadestorm at 2006-03-18 14:42:57

Yes, it does use PIL, but it doesn't -have- to convert images away from PNG to
send them on.  MSN supports PNG, AIM/ICQ does not.  I have to turn whatever you
give me into not only a JPG, but I have to adjust it's size.  There's a good
chance that PIL isn't handling this right . . . or something!  The default is
only set if you don't one of your own that can be converted into something we
can use.

Regardless, something is going on that's not affecting me because I can see and
set avatars while others can not.  (and still others can see/set them)  Bah.

Posted by guest at 2006-03-21 09:15:57

Well I've tried handing it a 64x64 JPG and it doesn't like that either...

Posted by jadestorm at 2006-03-21 18:48:38

Interesting.  Well i don't doubt that there is -something- seriously wrong, but
it sucks that I can't duplicate it.

Posted by guest at 2006-04-07 16:44:04

Tell me how to enable debug, and I'll try to help you out here.

Posted by jadestorm at 2006-04-09 03:20:33

Basically just start the transport with the -D flag.  -l logfile if you want to
log to a file.
python ./PyICQt.py -D -l mylogfile
it's -very- verbose.

I have the same problem with the current version, 0.8.15.
Well, avatars are activated, but when the user has set an avatar, I see just a icq
flower with a yellow light bulb in the front. Did anybod found a solution for this
problem? Newest version of python-imaging is installed, running debian squeeze. Using
psi 0.13.
