Great work on Skypiax, Giovanni.

We’ve tested it in our lab for sometime and it works very well.

Unfortunately, when we tried deploying it on a production environment (running Win2K3 server farm), we ran into a barrier:

1. FS is running as terminal server console application (to be easily maintained remotely by RDP)
2. This is because Win2K does not allow RDP to access system console (session /userid 0)
3. Skype does not work on terminal server due to a well known disappearing audio drivers problem, therefore it has to run either as a console or a service (both on session 0).
4. FS can run well as a windows service
5. Skypiax seem to load as service, but it can’t find the skype client and exit with the following error:

2009-04-13 20:54:14 [ERR] mod_skypiax.c:990 load_config() rev 13006M[00000000|37     ][ERRORA  990  ][skype_user    ][-1, 0, 0] Failed to connect to a SKYPE API for interface_id=1, no SKYPE client running, please (re)start Skype client. Skypiax exiting

This situation prevents me to run skypiax in production.

I understand from the wiki page that windows service is not done yet – so I presume this is a predicted outcome.

Any idea when and if this is planned to be implemented?

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
