Please Please Please, MSN Plugin

Geon106 · 2006-11-18, 01:53

I know nobody thinks its a important plugin, but can someone please get the MSN Messenger plugin working so its properly usable. it would really put the topping on my media center and i'd be so grateful.

I agree with that... also a better on screen QWERTY keyboard design could be nice...

Amen to that.

Geon106 · 2006-11-18, 16:04

yea a new on-screen keyboard on the search functions wouldn't go a miss

The plugin half works, so i don't think it would take much for it to be fully functioning.

I havn't even tried it, since it don't support more users than one.
So if there is work to be done on it, put in support for multiple users as well.

I've tried it a few times but it barely works properly... plus if you have more than 1 convo theres no way to switch between them, so maybe the GUI should be updated a bit.

This is a feature I would really like to be worked on.

I don't know if its possible but the addition of predictive text would be awesome so you can type faster using the remote!!

The messanger in wmce was alway a weak point, because it was so slow to type anything!!

This should be made a 'live' topic as i know if it was better more people would use it!!

What about building the plugin on the Gaim program??

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/

This way it would support all messangers not just msn. Just an idea.

+1 for Windows Live Messenger Support. Even if the "plugin" was a reskinned UI that just fit into the MediaPortal UI.

Geon106 · 2007-01-15, 19:31

yea i think this would be totally awesome! i'd be happy to just use a normal keyboard for the MSN functions, that would be a fair compromise
