Simultaneous use mbpurple on Ubuntu and Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use microblog-purple 0.30 on Home with my Ubuntu 10.10, Pidgin-2.7.9 and on 
Work with Windows XP, pidgin 2.7.9. 

If I connect to the twitter from home, then the next day, i can not connect at 
work. If i reinstall plugin, then  OAuth authorization request reappears and i 
can to connect. But at the same time I can not use both at home and at work.

Hi,
thanks for the report.
You describe the case: "Home" works, the next day "Work" does not. (Until a 
reinstall)
Does this also happen "the other way around" ? 
i.e. "Work" works, newt day "Home" does not ??
Could you please - on the machine that does not work - start pidgin in debug 
mode, reproduce the problem and attach the log (i.e. on the ubuntu machine 
start "pidgin -d > pidgin.log") ?

Thanks.

Ok, thanks. I'll look into that.
In the meantime, you do not need to reinstall, to get a new OAuth request.
Simply open pidgin, accounts-menu, select the TwitterIM account. The submenu 
shows "Remove access credential". That should do the trick. (Maybe a bit 
simpler than the reinstall...)

What distubs me in those logs are all those http 404 errors...
Could you please check the TwitterIM account settings?
The "Account verification path" should point to 
"/account/verify_credentials.xml" please check if yours is different.

At "home" there is option like at screenshot 1. I switch all options like at 
screenshot 2. Not work at both variants.
Another thing that i don`t have option submenu "Remove access credential" at 
ubuntu version

UPD: At "Home" after few reconnects appear new oAuth request. I put new code 
and it successful connect to twitter. With options like at screenshoot 2.

I`ll try it at "Work" later.

UPD: At "WORK" its connected successful too. With options like at screenshoot 2.

Why by default uses options with "/1/" ? I think there is a trouble.

/1 is the new official API URL for Twitter. 

Hmm... This reminds me. I think, with OAuth, it shouldn't allow user to have 
multiple computer running the same app using different authentication key. 
Twitter should see both your Home and Work as mbpurple and it should reject 
another, duplicate OAuth access.

I'm curious why it worked by using different URL.

somsaks, I did not know that - I am reading 
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/account/verify_credentials now... btw: my 
linux-installation does not use the "/1" whereas my windows installation does. 
I am currently using bot at the same time (Home/Work) no problems..

the thing with "multiple computer running the same app using different 
authentication keys" came to mind, yes. But I fount a twitter issue report 
(currently unable to find it again) stating that twitter will re-send the 
oauth-token if the "same" app requests another token. So given that both 
installs "Home" and "Work" should use the same token...

I am unable to reproduce this phenomenon.
I use three machines win, gentoo, ubuntu - everything is fine.

Are you still having problems ceeka?
