Report an issue with MP3 Skype Recorder v 1.9.0

Posted on: Sun, 12/13/2009 - 23:51 By: VOIP

This is a topic to report any issues with MP3 Skype Recorder v.1.9.0
Known bugs:

  • Window 7 (only) - Error and  no connection to Skype on the very first launch of the program. Temporary solution - restart MP3 Skype Recorder, the error will disappear. The error will be fixed in next version.

For other issues use comments below

 

Location of Skype has nothing to do with this problem as recorder is using public API of Skype. Try to reinstall Skype, there were some particular versions that has no Extras manager for some reason, probably your were unlucky to get one.

Every time i run it i get an error saying Error connecting to skype. the only option i have is to click on more information and come to this website, which, no offense, doesn't help me at all. please reply.
 

The Skype installer no longer installs extras by default.  Extras is used by practically every recording Skype program, so if you want to record calls, you need to reinstall, but during installtion, click the "options" button and select to install Skype Extras.
 
You can tell that extras is installed by selecting the Tools menu and clicking on extras, which will reveal a second menu of games and other extras.  If the extras menu item is greyed out, then it is not installed and you need to reinstall Skype as just described.

G'day
I have loaded- uninstalled and re-loaded the recorder alot to try and fix an issue. The recorder is not linking with Skype. I am on Betta 5.0 Version but it was doing the same with 4.0 and 4.2 versions. I keep getting the following error...

That's because of beta version. Skype recorder doesn't work with Skype beta versions as they don't have required Skype extras manager. I will check what is causing the unhandled exception.

Add an option in the user.config to eliminate checking at startup for a new version.
I have a proxy and this causes the program to freeze until someone is around to click 'OK'.
Working on a skype client setup to automatically record a conference. MP3 Skype Recorder does everything I need *except* that it checks for a new version.

 The call did not record despite telling me that it is on and recording. This has happened twice, but the vast majority of the time it works without a problem. Is there anyway to recover the file? Why does this happen? How can I ensure it is recording?

Sort the folder with the records, and check if it is there. If not, it looks like it was not recordered. Windows firewall could prevent connection between Skype and Skype recorder, you may need to make and exception if it is On. MP3 Skype recorder and Parental Skype recorder could interfere make sure that these programs are not started simultaneously.

Hello.
Can record two different conversations at the same time? The first conversation was stopped when the calling stopped, but it isn't recorded after i have to switch to another conversation. Or, it only records the calling which I am in? Thanks

How to setup the skype recorder for multi calls and conversations?
It won't be recorded since I am not on this calling. So " holding on call" will not be record.
thanks

But, it won't be recorded since I left that calling while the conversation is still calling. When I went back this calling , it's recorded. So, i think it didn't recorded when i am absent. What's the problem? Thanks.

When you start the 1st call - 1st recording is started. When you start 2nd call, the 1st call goes on hold, the 1st record is paused and 2nd record starts. You can't record the call on hold (as there is no sound transfered by Skype for this call) so the recording is paused to avoid silence. Did I answer your question?

I use this recorder all the time, and it is great!. We also use another skype program called Skype Launcher so I can have two different skype account logged on. The problem is, this didn't used to be a problem but recently with the new skype version, it does not record the second skype account anymore. Is there a way that I can have the mp3 recorder to record from both the recorder?
Would appreciate any response to give me light on this one. Thanks

I'm using XP, recorder 1.9.0.1. It works great on my ten year old computer, no complaints. I bought a new netbook with a 10" screen and XP. Skype Recorder 1.9.0.1 disappears on the screen. It hides and can't be found. It doesn't matter what I click on, or double click on, or whether I turn the computer on or off, or whether I uninstall and reinstall the program. I've tried dragging every edge and corner of the screen to see if I can hook it. Where is the recorder?? Thank you.

Please try to open the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your_user_name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Alexander_Nikiforov\MP3_Skype_Recorder.exe_Url_[some letter sequence]\1.9.0.1
[your_user_name] should be your windows user name.
 
Open user.config file (could be opened by notepad). and check the value of StartXYpos. Make it -  10,10
<setting name="StartXYpos" serializeAs="String">
                <value>10, 10</value>
This should force MP3 Skype recorder window to open in the right top corner.

Thank you. A day later I turned on the computer and for some reason the box showed up.
Yesterday I did a two hour interview and it recorded beautifully.
Today I did a 45 minute interview and nothing got recorded even though everything looked in order. I even did a test recording for two minutes prior to the interview and that worked fine. I did a file search to see if the recording was filed in some strange place but could not findit. I'll check the past posts here to see what might have gone wrong.
 

After the test file, did I need to hang and call back, starting the recorder prior to making the call? That seems to be what one poster noted. Thanks for any assistance. I love the recorder when I'm using it properly!

I'm running 1.9.0.1 with Skype 4.2.0.187.
I just spent nearly an hour on a conversation via Skype and the recorder showed it was recording the entire time. However about 45 minutes into the call was dropped. When we re-connected MP3 Skype Recorder showed it was recording again. However when the call was ended and I went to check the audio files. Only the 2nd phone call was saved. Please tell me there's a log somewhere or a temporary file storage to get the first half of the phone call. Please?!

The recorder writes directly to the file and hence it should be in the destination folder.
Could you please describe what you mean by "call was dropped", was it line disconnection, system restart or something else. I will try to recreate the issue on my system.

 In the middle of our conversation Skype simply dropped the call - disconnected the call. I called him right back and the recording re-started automatically but apparently it didn't save the original portion of our conversation (before the call was disconnected).

Hi,
 
I have the new version of the recorder and have today been recording calls, I have just tried to find the files, but cannot.  I have played them back after each call and believe they are on my computer, but have no clue where.  When I go to C:Drive there is no Documents and Settings folder?
Thank you
 

Document and Settings is a hidden folder. To make it visible you can open explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) and click Tools in the upper menu. Choose Folder options. In the new window open Veiw tab and locate mark Show hidden files and folders from the list. Save settings by clicking OK.

When you give instruction pls give properly....in detail...
you said open explore..which one ,....where to find it ....
I have 45 min looking for filelocation....and get frustated ..
pls provide specific location step by step..thanks

Hi! I downloaded the MP3 Skype Recorder 1.9.0.1. and I'm using for a podcast I started.
At first, it works just fine by having the MP3s of my calls being recorded & easy to listen to, but recently, I did a recording and the files show up in the folder where it belongs, but the MP3 says 0 Bytes on it. I can't listen to it and/or edit it. I did everything from checking the firewall to converting it to a MP4. I even downloaded the LAME that supposed to go with it & it doesn't semm work at all. I really would like to know how do I listen and/or try to edit my MP3 calls. How do change the 0 Bytes into listenable MP3? My head is about explode trying to figure it out. If there nothing I can do, I go do a re-record again.

0 bytes means that the file is empty. This could happen if something (personal firewall for example) blocked connection between Skype and Skype recorder and recorder had no audio stream to record. Try to upgrade Skype as well.

Dear Mr Nikiforov,
Thank you so much for providing this excellent free program, which I have used with much pleasure since quite a long time!
Unfortunately, after upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits and downloaded and installed your latest version, nothing happens when I click on the MP3 Skype Recorder shortcut so that I cannot access the configuration screen and set the location of the mp3 files. Skype calls do not seem to be recorded (at least, I do not see the pop-up mentioning that recording has started or ended, even though the program is authorized in Skype).
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the program and cleaned the registry. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Final installed. Should I install another version also?

Thank you very much in advance for your kind assistance and best regards,

Hello Jean-Claud,

.Net Framework v.4 is fine. Please check the following:
- the program maybe started in minimized mode, and there must be an icon in system tray (usually rigth bottom of your screen). Double click it (if it is there) to open the program window.
- if the program doesn't record, check this topic http://voipcallrecording.com/no_skype_extras_manager_error and follow the instructions.

Regards,

Alexander Nikiforov

Manual recording not working
Hi there!
Recorder button - turns the recording ON, if pressed during Skype conversation starts the recording immediately, else starts automatic recording mode.
Manual recording is not working for me. When I stop recording in MP3 Skype Recorder, then place a call on Skype and - once the conversation is underway - hit the red recorder button, nothing happens. I'm running Windows 7 Pro (v6.1 build 7600, 64 bit) and Skype 5.0.0.152.
Automatic mode works fine, though.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Kind regards,
Christian

Hello! I am trying to install the package on Windows 7 Enterprise N on a 64bit Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960. The installation begins, however, partway through, I receive an error:
Error 1001. Exception occurred while initializing the installation. System.BadImageFormatException:Could not load file or assembly "System Configuration Version=2.0.0.0. Culture=neutral. PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. OK.
I tried to research this error on Google, but was not able to find a solution. There was some mention about .NET but I'm not a software engineer and I have no idea what this error means. I do have .NET 4 installed. I am out of suggestions and would appreciate your assistance. I watched a demo of this software on You Tube and I'd really love to try it out!
Kindest regards, Michelle.

Not recording my voice.
Hi! 
I am using MP3 Skype Recorder 1.9.0.1 with Skype version 4.2.0.187. Although I can hear the other side of the call when I listen to the recording, I cannot hear my own side of the call.
Both of your speakers are working properly and I also try the mono mode.
Still not working... By calling the Echo / Sound Test Service everything is fine, but on the recording from MP3 Skype recorder, I do not get my voice until the Sound Test Service replays it.
Thanks for helping me solve this!

  All the Skype conversations were automatically recorded for a while upon installation, but then it stopped recording.
When I uninstall and re-install it, it works (i.e., automatically recording) for a while, then it stops working again.
What do you think would be a cause?
Thanks,
Ken
