Hi Phil,

There's an updated intermediate cert for the Hangouts plugin, that the
Google servers will sometimes send.  You can download it from source on
https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/src/default/ or download the
latest version of the .exe installer (assuming you're on windows) which has
the intermediate certs bundled.

For the Skype plugin, you'll want to follow the flowchart
https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb#issues - but
the secret sauce is to turn on the "use alternate auth" setting the
advanced account settings, which bypasses the whole "Magic T" thing.

Cheers,
Eion
