Can export pictures and files, but not videos or voice messages

[arun-gurung]

I have sent test-files in my chat, so they are newer than 30 days. I choose "export as HTML with files in a separate folder" and it successfully exports a picture and a PDF file, but no video or voice message.

In the Skyperious chat log, the picture is uploaded into the cloud as a URI, but the PDF and video and audio says just "Sent file xx.m4a" and no URI, does it mean it is not uploaded to the cloud?

Can you post screenshots of:

• what the chat history looks like in Skyperious
• what the HTML export looks like
• what files were written to the separate export folder

Aha. And what does the video link point to, both inside Skyperious and in the export HTML?

[arun-gurung]

Inside Skyperious, the link points to "https://api.asm.skype.com/v1/objects/0-weu-d7-e121b2f3730aca58255b6aa83b6740c4/views/original" and in the exported HTML, it says "file:///VID_20210805_184557.mp4".

Are there any errors in the log window after running the export (menu Help -> Show log window)?

Much obliged.

I think I've found and fixed the problem. Can I give you a pip package with a fixed Skyperious version, to install and and see if it works properly?

[arun-gurung]

Yeah, sounds good. But, how do I install a pip package from file?

[suurjaak]

Skyperious-4.8.1.dev1-py2-none-any.zip

Unpack the archive (had to zip it for GitHub), then open a terminal in the same directory, and run:

pip install Skyperious-4.8.1.dev1-py2-none-any.whl

And you need to re-run import from live before exporting.

Now it exported my video and audio message also. Splendid, thanks so much! I want to donate a little for your efforts, the app is very useful.

Just a detail: Now the video and voice message are showing as URIs in Skyperious, but the PDF file just shows "Sent file test.pdf". But it works anyway.

[suurjaak]

Excellent. I will issue an official fixed release also at some point. I will keep this issue open until then.

You have a point about the URI links differing inside Skyperious.. Maybe I should standardize them.

I appreciate the sentiment :) rather donate to a local charity of your choice instead.

[arun-gurung]

Still no updated release?

[suurjaak]

I was planning to work on the file/media links difference, but did not get around to it. And looking at my schedule, will not be able to, for some time.

So, I've issued the fixed release now.

Thank you for reminding me.
