Gajim - 2025-09-12

As someone who is not yet familiar with Gajim code, and has basic experience with Python, how hard would it be for me to fix / re-add voice calls? I'm also curious whether any others would be interested in working on that functionality together?

Having voice/video calls would be nice I agree

In recent Gajim Nightly versions, group chat information is frequently duplicated.

Andrew: there is a WIP merge request, but it depends changes to gstreamer and farstream https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/995

we.: thanks

Just tested, thumbnail generation from video stream on webservers is also possible, but needs a few adaptions. That way we can preview video urls same as image urls:

Hm? We would simply download and process the file ✏

The process is not different for images and videos ✏

lovetox: you don't always want to download and keep a 50-100 MB or even bigger video file, do you?

My approach would just stream less than 2 seconds once and keep the thumbnail ✏

My approach would just stream a fraction of a seconds once and keep the thumbnail ✏

No the correct process is either the sender sends us a thumbnail, or for generic Weblinks we can request og data

og?

What we have now is a auto download file feature and afterwards we generate a thumbnail

Html metadata spec don't know the name now it has og elements

Opengraph

We need video Thumbnail Generation so we can send thumbnails to people when we send files

We expect them to do the same

That we auto download small files now for a preview is a bad workaround for not having impl a good file sharing xep

I don't want to extend this further, querying links we receive should become the absolute exception

Alright.

Next step I try to work on is moving http requests into multiprocessing

Nice, so they won't block anymore

And then I think we can easily start impl. SFS I have a branch pushed with the beginnings already

mesonium: they don't block now but is very complex to do with libsoup

With multiprocessing it's much easier

Because I can write it blocking

But other things are harder, like communicating progress to the main process

Indeed. You already know how to solve the latter?

Using some queue?

That seems the proposed solution everywhere, I ran into some problems when trying it. Was unable to pass the queue to the process, not sure I solved that already, I look later

Thanks for Gajim 2.3.5!

I have found a bug, when we talk with a user@domain.tld which has not accepted presence... The tab is named "myself-username (user@domain.tld)" Note: The messages have been sent from another XMPP client, I can create a ticket?

How to see all myself connected XMPP client and status (online, away, etc. for each)? How to see priority?

Neustradamus, priority is no longer a thing

if you hover the avatar in note to myself you should see the status of your other clients

Hello! How can I find a chat on Gajim if the accounts of both parties no longer exist because the respective XMPP server has stopped operating?
