Original bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631220 Ubuntu Maverick users seem to see all their ICQ contacts with the webcam icon next to them. They are using haze 0.4.0-1 and purple 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu3. That's weird because I tried using Lucid (haze 0.4.0 and purple 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4) and wasn't able to reproduce this issue. Could be a purple bug.

telepathy-haze crashes this way when trying to call somebody
also reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/telepathy-haze/+bug/652944
this issue is tricking people into believing that empathy supports a/v calling for ICQ and bug reports now say "Videocall to ICQ-Contacts doesn't work" ;)
The crash shouldn't be too hard to fix: haze_media_manager_requestotron() should check whether the protocol being used actually supports calls. To stop ICQ contacts erroneously showing up as callable, haze_media_manager_foreach_channel_class() should also check whether the protocol being used actually supports calls. Guillaume: you couldn't reproduce this because Haze only has media support if you build against libpurple >= 2.7.0.
Why nost just instantiate the media manager only if the protocol support calls? I didn't find any purple API checking if a protocol support calls or not. Just API to check if a contact support them (purple_prpl_get_media_caps ()).
(In reply to comment #6) > Why nost just instantiate the media manager only if the protocol support calls? Good point. > I didn't find any purple API checking if a protocol support calls or not. Just > API to check if a contact support them (purple_prpl_get_media_caps ()). I'd probably use PURPLE_PROTOCOL_PLUGIN_HAS_FUNC(prpl, initiate_media).
Here is a branch doing just that: http://git.Collabora.co.uk/?p=user/cassidy/telepathy-haze;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/av-30594 Note that I don't have any haze account supporting calls so I haven't been able to test it still works with those.
i can't find an ascii-art hovercraft.
Merged to 0.4 and master; will be in 0.4.1 and 0.5.0 as and when those happen.
