Hi Skullspacers!
I'm sorry if this is not the right channel to communicate with the group, but I was given this distribution list and I hope some of you can see this and get interested. We are a community of users organized in a Slack channel (you can join if you want to see what this is all about, it is unrestricted -
https://join.slack.com/t/logitechskypecamera/shared_invite/MjE1MzA2NTQ5NTM2LTE1MDA2NDU0NDgtMjQxYWNkOTY1NQ) and are willing to pay 35 U$D per person if someone can help us with our problem. I was doing math and I believe IF everybody stays true to the arrangement, whoever finds a solution could get more than 2,000 u$d.
The details of why this doesn't work anymore are apparently related with the fact that Microsoft disconnects Skype clients that are not up to date. And since this camera is locked down by Logitech, and the firmware is not update, it is still running one of the old Skype clients that get disconnected automatically.
So, in a nutshell: we need a person willing to look into this device and find a way to update the Skype Client or somehow make it work again.
I have one device and I'm willing to give it to anybody who wants to play with it and try to hack it. Another gentelman in the group (not from Winnipeg) said he should be able to ship 5 more units if that's what it takes to see it solved.
Should you have more questions and want to know more about this, the easiest thing to do is to join the Slack channel and look for me (i'm the admin) for further questions.
Thanks for your time!
