LJ Talk disconnecting

Tue Dec 19 14:20:17 EST 2017

Hi Peter,

Looks like that server is pretty unstable :)

At first glance, it look like after so many errors it disconnects the
client, and since it doesn't support the basic "ping" command, is erroring
out very quickly.  You could try using the
https://github.com/EionRobb/pidgin-no-keepalives plugin, which adds an
additional option in the Advanced tab of the account to "Disable
Keepalives" which would stop the ping command being sent.  Not sure if
it'll then just push the error somewhere else, but might help keep a stable
connection.

Does the XMPP gateway still work, for the few minutes where it's not
disconnected at a time?

Cheers,
Eion
