purple-discord Linux Pidgin discord plugin not receiving messages

Hi all,

Has anyone else had an issue with the Linux version of Pidgin and the Discord plugin having issues receiving messages. Any messages I send work fine and I can see all the channels and online statuses so everything else seems to work fine. Anyone got any ideas of how to fix this?

Which version/git commit of the plugin are you using?

Can you get a debug log from Help->Debug Window from when messages are coming through but aren't displaying?

It might be that you need to build an updated version of the plugin (to deal with some protocol changes a couple of months ago where they tried to block non-official third parties from receiving messages).

You might also need to verify your account at discord.com if you haven't gone through those steps already?

That is what I am thinking given on ubuntu/Pop OS the repo does not contain the same packages as listed for under Fedora/CentOS/RHEL at https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord. Although I get errors compiling even after installing libpurple-dev. I however cannot find the glib and gmp packages listed below that are listed on https://github.com/nmbook/pidgin-libbnet

Ubuntu/DEB-based

libpurple-dev
libglib-dev
libgmp-dev

I assume I am missing something still. Might need to do some more digging tomorrow. $ make cc -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -std=c99 -DDISCORD_PLUGIN_VERSION='"0.9.2021.06.17.git.659de4f"' -DMARKDOWN_PIDGIN -DENABLE_NLS -DLOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale" -shared -o libdiscord.so libdiscord.c markdown.c purple2compat/http.c purple2compat/purple-socket.c -Wl,-z,relro pkg-config purple glib-2.0 json-glib-1.0 --libs --cflags -Ipurple2compat -g -ggdb Package json-glib-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Looks like you're missing the libjson-glib-1.0-dev package too

I've rebooted one of my machines and immediately ran into this.
Other still running instances work fine, but after restart messages from other users won't appear.
I do still see mine.

Here is the log excerpt that corresponds in time to a missed message:

My plugin comes from Debian Backports and has version 0.9.2020.10.14.git.8216905-1~bpo10+1

@aidaho yep your version is from October 2020, you'll need to update or build to something newer than May of 2021

Jun 19 '21 19:06 EionRobb

I've compiled master. You're right: it works fine.
Haven't noticed how old the backports binary was.

Discord probably changed something causing these older plugins to fail.

I am curious which OS you built this using? On Ubuntu it seems the required packages don't exist. I was able to get one of them installed but I still get notified of warnings when running make. the errors advise that the parameters in the code are deprecated. Example below. After running a make install it advises "make: convert: No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:138: discord16.png] Error 127" $ make cc -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -std=c99 -DDISCORD_PLUGIN_VERSION='"0.9.2021.06.21.git.659de4f"' -DMARKDOWN_PIDGIN -DENABLE_NLS -DLOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale" -shared -o libdiscord.so libdiscord.c markdown.c purple2compat/http.c purple2compat/purple-socket.c -Wl,-z,relro pkg-config purple glib-2.0 json-glib-1.0 --libs --cflags -Ipurple2compat -g -ggdb In file included from /usr/include/libpurple/media/codec.h:35, from /usr/include/libpurple/media.h:31, from /usr/include/libpurple/prpl.h:75, from /usr/include/libpurple/buddyicon.h:39, from /usr/include/libpurple/blist.h:110, from /usr/include/libpurple/status.h:133, from /usr/include/libpurple/connection.h:151, from /usr/include/libpurple/account.h:49, from /usr/include/libpurple/purple.h:48, from purple_compat.h:19, from libdiscord.c:50: /usr/include/libpurple/media/../util.h:1397:13: warning: Deprecated pre-processor symbol, replace with 1397 | G_CONST_RETURN gchar *purple_gai_strerror(gint errnum); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've compiled on Debian 10.

From what I can tell, you are missing convert binary

"make: convert: No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:138: discord16.png] Error 127"

On my system it is provided by a graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat package.
