cards: "https://go.skype.com/cards.unsupported"

[philfry]

Hi, when someone with a "real" skype client send a "card" it is shown as

Um diese Karte anzuzeigen, gehe zu: https://go.skype.com/cards.unsupported

("to view this card, go to …"). In web.skype.com the same message is shown as

decoding the base64 string results in:

                    "width": 480
                },
                "images": [
                    {
                        "alt": "i have no idea GIF",
                        "tap": {
                            "type": "showImage"
                        },
                        "type": "image/gif",
                        "url": "https://media0.giphy.com/media/jkSD9GTmHNRt6VaUXp/giphy.gif?cid=13c083425c7ce1bd656a7249514771ed"
                    }
                ],
                "shareable": true,
                "subtitle": "Gefunden auf Giphy.com"
            },
            "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.flex"
        }
    ],
    "type": "message/card"
}

Are there any plans on supporting those kind of messages?

What's a card?

[philfry]

I believe it's some kind of new way to display a static picture or a animate gif/webm/whatever. It's not implemented in web.skype.com so you'll probably need the official client to display it. Edit: yup, this "card" shows up when sharing "Bing GIFs", "Pictures", "Microsoft To-Do", "Bing Restaurants" and stuff. It's not related to inserting "media", "contacts" or "location".

I can confirm this bug. On my system, in both Pidgin, and Spectrum2, these "cards" are trailed by large sloths of base64 encoding.

The base64decode of that one gives
