Hi
Is there any way to use Skype (free) within Pbx in flash?

This used to be possible, using the skype linux client on the pbxinaflash server. Search the blog postings on nerdvittles.com

I saw few people used FreeSwitch and mod_sky open. But it is not working today. So I asked that question.
Thanks

I'd try these 2 methods, just to see if you can get it to work.
1. SipToSis http://www.mhspot.com/sts/siptosis_download.php
2. mod_skypopen http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Skypiax
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_skypopen
The mod_skyopen page has instructions for Ubuntu 14.04. Since this is relatively recent, and the page is still published, and there is no warning on there that it no longer works, so it probably still works fine. Worth a try if you want to give it a shot.

It is probably worth neither your time nor effort to hack together something for interop with Skype. What is your goal? You can almost certainly do it a better way.

1. One cool use for skype is being able to accept incoming calls from skype screen names (skype ID or username). Such as for example when the caller would otherwise have to pay toll rates, or international toll rates to contact you. But if they have decent net connection already, 6-40 kbit/sec for that awesome HD voice SILK codec, they can call for free with skype, when the pbx has a binary skype gateway running on it, to take incoming calls for free.

2. Also the pbx users would now be able to make outgoing calls to any skype usernames for free.

3. And, for a cheap subscription to skypeout and skype number, make outgoing to PSTN, for less cost than SIP termination providers.

The theory is fine, but Micro$oft has gone out of their way to kill this. Haven't heard of a single person that's gotten it to work in the past 18 months. Doesn't hurt to drool, I suppose. :drool5:

@wardmundy Technically skype trunks which go thru the skype consumer desktop binary app are still possible. The new version of the binary desktop skype client allows external apps to pipe audio in and out of it, as long as the user clicks on an approval button to give permission.
In previous versions of skype desktop client, no user approval was required to get the audio streams, which caused security concerns of trojans secretly recording your calls which is why the added the extra step for the user to grant permission to access the call audio by an external app..

@shetu Maybe. Can you detail the methods you tried, the exact steps you took, and the errors you got? Also, what are you trying to accomplish, what is your ultimate goal?

@wardmundy @sukasem @gpuser Do you have the downloadable tutorial which was hosted on copy.com until about May 2016 when the copy.com service was taken off line?

@chris_c_ : This is the end of my contributions on this (dead) topic. You're wasting your time, but have at it if you are so inclined.

Which step by step procedure did you do to install it (link).
How far up to which step did you get in the installation.
What error message did it give you.
