Ok I am tring a different route, I will try a p2p video calling app and store IP address's and user names on my server. Im still in early stages but aleast I've got video between my home network. I will make a standalone app for people without MP installed. It wont be fullscreen for some time, I have alot of work just to get a test version out.

The next version of the SkypeKit will include .NET support - when it is out someone can start to work on this again.
That is great news. I have to admit that I have resorted to using MultiShortCut plugin to start Skype.exe using the argument "/callto:username", to make videos calls to specific friends (I have a multishortcut plugin item for each of my main friends). You need to also setup Skype to automatically start the webcam, and setup a remote control key mapping to a couple of Skype Hotkeys (to answer call (green teletext button) and hangup call (red teletext button)), and also map a button to kill Skype to let you return to MP (since the Skype process doesn't stop when you use ALT+F4, it just minimises to the task bar). It is far from elegant, but it does allow me to make video calls using the remote control alone from the comfort of my sofa. However, it doesn't allow me to receive calls on an ad-hoc basis. Having a proper Skype plugin would be excellent!
I don't think the formal skypekit .net is far off, since there is a pre-release version already on the streets. I am not a dev, but I would have thought that it would be far better (and lower risk for the future), for the formal skypekit to be used.
As you can see XBCM skype and it works quite well and it's a shame that the evidence with us still problems was enough for me to the same voice at the beginning and chat and where possible implement image .
