Skype4MP with video

A new version of Skype4MP is under development right now.

Here are the features that the final version will have:
- audio, video (only on Win7), chat
- popup on incoming call regardless of the screen you're in (TV, Radio, Movies, ...)
- answer a call with audio only, audio and video or ignore the call
- fullscreen video
- PIP: skype video in a window on top of TV, Movies, ...

ToDo:

This list will grow as I go along...

Attached is the first release, where video only works with Skype4.

Please always refer to this 1st post for updates.

Stay Tuned.

Wspaniale .Zabieram się do testów Great. I'm taking to the tests.

Made a small update, see first post.

Still a lot (and I mean A LOT) of things to do...

Fripsy.

Excellent, thanks for this with test and let you know.

In this version there is a text chat. At least I could not find. Fit it added. It's a start.

Text chat will be re-added later on as an option for those who have a keyboard present on their HTPC.

Except from the Start/Stop Video button, none of the buttons are working at the moment. My first goal was to concentrate on the video part.

Awaiting your feedback.

Hello. I have Windows 7, Skype 4.2, Nvidia video card, but i see only black square (( Do i need any additional settings? I read in last thread about hidden monitor, but i dont know, how setup it. Help, pls. Test program not working too ((

UPD:
Wow!!!! Its working!!! Im trying it with skype 5.0beta, and its failed (((. Then im trying it with skype 4.1, and it been working! So, it working only when Skype in STANDARD view mode, when skype in COMPACT view mode then Skype4MP not working.
I think, that next step must be fullscreen view in mediaportal (When click on video-window).
Also, when incoming calls, in MP i cant get this call, no popup buttons. Also, must update for the nearest time.

Also, im drawing picture how i see view of skype4mp for blue3wide design. )

Thanx, Fripsy!!! Good luck in developing!

I have the same problem picture windows black has nothing to do, I tried the test file and it works. In addition, while incoming Skype calls to the front pops up and freezes.



I confirm that skype works with version 4.1. Unfortunately, the media portal has to be always on top. What if people using the plugin "my emulators" will be a big hurdle.
